Connecting a guardian to the diary
The teacher shares a link or QR; the guardian taps it and is connected — class messages then reach their phone.
The screenshots show the app in Bangla, its main language. The buttons sit in the same places in English.
-
Teacher: open the class and tap "ডিজিটাল ডায়েরি" (Digital Diary).
-
Teacher: tap the add-guardian button, choose "লিংক শেয়ার করুন" (Share link), then pick which student's guardian it is for.
The link is the easiest path — just send it on WhatsApp. A QR also works, but the guardian needs a second phone; you cannot scan a QR on the phone showing it.
-
Teacher: choose WhatsApp or imo and send the link to the guardian.
-
Guardian: tap the link in WhatsApp. Hazira Khata opens.
-
Guardian: sign in with your phone number — it must be the number the school has on record.
Signing in with a different number will not connect. If you are unsure which number the school has, ask the teacher.
-
Guardian: the request card appears on the home screen itself, showing the child's name, the class and the teacher. Check it, then tap "প্রতিষ্ঠানের সাথে যুক্ত হোন" (Connect). If it looks wrong, tap "বাতিল করুন" (Cancel).
-
If you had already added a child yourself, the app asks once: "এটি আপনার কোন সন্তান?" (Which of your children is this?) — match it to that child, or add it as a new one. If you had added nothing, this question does not appear.
-
Guardian: once connected, the child's card sits under "আমার সন্তান" (My Child). Tapping it opens the messages the teacher sends.
After connecting, the guardian sees the teacher's messages. The school's attendance register and exam marks do not yet appear in the parent's app — that part is still being built.
Common questions
Is internet needed?
The teacher needs internet to create the link, and the guardian needs it to connect. The teacher does not have to be online at the moment the guardian taps it.
How long does the link work?
7 days. If the guardian has not tapped it by then, the teacher simply shares a new one.
Tapping the link opens a browser instead of the app.
If the app is already installed it usually opens the app. If a browser opens, install the app from the Play Store and tap the link again.
It connected to the wrong child.
The guardian cannot remove this themselves — the teacher has to. The teacher opens the class's "ডিজিটাল ডায়েরি", finds that row under "সংযুক্ত অভিভাবকগণ" and taps the red ✕, then sends the link for the right student. Until the teacher does that, the card stays on the guardian's phone.
I tapped "সংযোগ সরান" but the "এটি আপনার কোন সন্তান?" card keeps coming back.
That is a current limitation, not your mistake. "সংযোগ সরান" only detaches the connection from the child stored on your own phone; the teacher's connection still exists on the server, so the card reappears. Deleting the child does the same thing. To remove it for good, ask the teacher to tap the red ✕ on that row in their diary. A proper fix is being worked on.

- Using My Child as a parent Keep track of your child with no account at all — vaccine dates, memories, and your own attendance record.
- When a guardian asks to join, on their own A guardian opens the school's website, writes their child's name and sends a request. It lands in the institution tab. All you do is point at which student that is — the guardian confirms the rest themselves.
- Connecting every guardian at once Sending one link at a time takes all day for a class of forty. Send the join request to every guardian in one tap, and connect the parent standing in front of you with a QR code on the spot.
- Sending a message to guardians Notices, homework, fees or exam news — straight to the guardian's phone, free. Photos and PDFs too. Before you send, the app tells you who will actually receive it and who will not.
- Seeing who is connected, and removing someone After sending the requests, the only question that matters is whether it worked. The list at the bottom of the diary answers it — who is marked connected, who to call, and exactly what the red ✕ does.
- Sending the exam routine to guardians You already typed the routine into the app once. One tap sends that same routine to the guardians' phones — no retyping, no photographing a sheet of paper.
- How a parent contacts the teacher Under any diary message there is a button to reach the teacher. There is no reply box in the diary — this explains why, and what to do instead.
- How to collect fees Create the month's fee once, then record what each student pays. The app works out who still owes what.
