The parent console

Progress, settings, schedules, transcripts, and handing the tablet back safely.

Getting in (and locking up after)

The parent console lives behind your password, even on a device where a kid is already using the app. Two ways back out:

  • ← kid's view just peeks at their dashboard. Parent mode stays unlocked for a while so you can bounce back without retyping.
  • Lock & hand back (the mint button) locks parent mode immediately and returns to the kid view. Use this one before you walk away; getting back in requires the password again.

The overview

Parent console Stats, your kids, the snapshot, and parent tools, top to bottom.

  • Stat tiles: streak, skills mastered, and instruction hours (tracked against your state's requirement).
  • Learners in this family: tap a kid to switch the whole app to them. Add siblings here too.
  • Snapshot: per-subject level bars once placement has run. Until then it's a nudge to run the quick-check.
  • Parent tools: the AI dashboard, placement, your plan, coach transcripts, Meet the Rascals, reading lists, and Bug reports & ideas. Your plan, Meet the Rascals, reading lists, and achievements all return directly to the Parent Console when you open them from here.
  • Subject breakdown and attendance: where the minutes went, and a heatmap of which days got done.

Settings worth knowing

Settings Per-kid settings on the left, schedule and learning rate on the right.

  • Grade per subject: set by placement, adjustable by hand.
  • Daily lesson target: how many lessons per school day, with a recommended pace computed from your school-year end date.
  • School days: which weekdays build a queue. Streaks never break on off days.
  • Guided vs Free learn, video lessons on/off, and accessibility options (dyslexic font, big text, reduced motion, dark mode).
  • Kid-only font settings: the dyslexic font applies to the learner experience, while the Parent Console keeps its regular interface font.
  • Per-kid passcode: an optional 4-digit code so siblings can't switch into each other's profiles.

Paperwork

Attendance and mastery roll up automatically into a printable attendance & progress report, plus a letter of intent where your state requires one. Set your state in Settings to see what applies.

Coach transcripts

Every conversation any kid has with Otto is saved. Coach transcripts shows them day by day, with concerning messages flagged. See Otto.
