1. Parent Portal Link

A QR on the printed report card links to the school's parent portal where parents view detailed assessment data, attendance records, and predicted grades. One scan replaces navigating a complex website.

2. Teacher Contact

A QR on the report links to a contact form addressed to the relevant teachers, pre-filled with the student's class and report period. Reduces the barrier to parent-teacher communication.

3. Progress Over Time

Link to a page showing the student's progress across multiple terms. Parents see trends, not just a snapshot, which leads to more productive conversations at parent evenings.

4. Privacy

Report data is sensitive. Require parent authentication before displaying any student-specific information. The QR triggers the login flow; it does not bypass it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the report card QR link directly to the student's data?

No. The QR links to the login page of the parent portal. Authentication gates the personal data.

Can a report card QR be the same for all students?

Yes if it links to a generic login page. Use unique QR per student only if the URL encodes account-specific context like a suggested login hint.
