Getting started with the SIMS Parent app
We have sent an activation email; simply click on the link from your tablet, PC or smartphone to activate your account.
In order for you to receive an invitation to join the SIMS Parent app, we must have your correct email address, (of which you know the password); please check your junk folder before contacting us. If you have not received your activation email please contact Mrs Kyra Crawford our Systems Administrator at kcrawford595@c2ken.net
When you follow that link for the first time, you will be asked to associate your Parent App account with another account, such as a Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft or Office 365 account. Please choose the account that you know the password for, this is very important as only one account can be associated with the App. Once you have used the Registration Link, you need to use the normal logon link to log in.
It is this associated account you use from then on when logging on to the Parent App – there is no separate username and password for the Parent App.
