Keeping Parents Updated on Student Progress

August 12, 2026 · 1 min read

The question "how's my kid doing?" usually comes without warning — at a meeting, in the hallway, in a message. An answer based on memory ("I think it went well last time") is far less convincing than one backed by concrete data, available in seconds.

Per-activity results, ready to show

From "Results," search for the student's name in any activity's leaderboard and instantly see their score, time, and — most relevant for a parent conversation — the exact answers, question by question. It's concrete, verifiable, easy to explain: "on this question about X, they answered wrong; on this one, correct."

CSV export for a longer-term record

The Stats page allows exporting a table of all activities created, games played, and average score — useful for a broader overview, not just a single activity. You can quickly filter what matters before a scheduled conversation.

What you concretely communicate to a parent

  • Consistency — are they participating regularly, or only occasionally?
  • Recurring gaps — is there one recurring difficulty, or are the mistakes scattered?
  • Progress over time — has the average score improved since the start of the term?

Privacy — you show only what's relevant

Other students' data from the same leaderboard shouldn't be shared with a parent — you extract information about their child, not the full leaderboard with classmates' names. A simple but important distinction for correct communication.

A conversation with parents backed by concrete data, pulled together in minutes, is far more effective than a general impression formed from memory — and, as a bonus, saves the time otherwise spent writing manual reports.
