ManageBac vs Parent Digest

ManageBac is built for students, parents, teachers, admins and coordinators on-the-go! With multi-curricula support for the full IB Continuum (PYP, MYP, CP, DP), IGCSEs and universally with a Build-your-Own (BYO) model. Students: • Stay organised with key academic deadlines and assessment tasks. • Set goals and build a portfolio with coursework, photos and more. • Manage CAS or service-learning activities with reflections. • Plan projects and communicate with your teachers & advisors. • Browse and reference QuickStart guides for the IB to stay one step ahead. Teachers: • Collaboratively plan your curriculum. • Manage teaching and learning with Stream & Resources. • Share experiences and goal-setting within the Portfolio. • Mark tasks, annotate coursework and submit term grades. • Record attendance and Behaviour & Discipline. Coordinators: • Plan and organise key year group deadlines. • Manage service learning & project-based learning. • Manage exams from start to finish. • Analyse your curriculum and manage term reporting. Parents: • Browse the curriculum alongside teaching & learning within the Portfolio. • Monitor academic progress with grades, teacher comments, and report cards. • Submit attendance excusals and communicate with homeroom advisors. • Collaborate with fellow parents via the Parent-Teacher Association.

Parent Digest shows what changed in your school's Veracross parent portal at a glance, without clicking through every class. • Action items: new attendance entries, changed due dates, and class posts or school messages that mention deadlines ("waiver needed by Thursday", "RSVP by Friday"). • A feed for each child: new, changed and removed assignments (with before → after), teacher feedback shown word for word, attendance, class posts and school messages. • What's due in the next few days. • "Mark all as seen", so next time you only see what's new. Parent Digest is a Safari extension. Turn it on in Safari, log in to your school's Veracross parent portal as usual, then open Parent Digest from Safari's page menu (iPhone and iPad) or toolbar (Mac) and tap Refresh. Want to look first? Tap "Try it with sample data". Private by design: • Uses the login you already have in Safari. It never asks for, sees or stores your password. • Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking. • Only talks to your school's Veracross portal. Parent Digest is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Veracross. It reads the parent portal the same way Safari does, so a change to the portal can break it until the app is updated.
