Hero

At EBIS we use Hero as our main way to communicate with parents/caregivers.

With Hero, you can:

  • read school notices sent to the class or groups your child is part of

  • respond to school notices such as surveys and trip permission requests

  • view school term dates

  • view a school calendar of events

  • notify the school if your child is absent or late

  • navigate to the school website, Kindo and Facebook page

  • select how you wish to receive notifications.

 

Hero Parent Guide

Click here to read the Hero Parent Guide article.

Hero is the student management system that organises our daily administration, attendance, classroom assessments, communication of notices, and reporting to parents. Hero provides a range of features that benefit us here at school, and you at home.

Some of these features won't be visible to whānau until next year, to allow time for us to upskill our kaimahi|staff, but we are excited to have you log on.

You need to be registered at the school office as the child's parent or caregiver to have access to their Hero account. If you are a grandparent or other family member, the child's parent must give written permission (email the office) to ask for you to be added to the child's account. You will need to supply an email address for this.

Here is a link to instructions for you to follow to log in to Hero now.

If you need help or have any questions, come into the school office or email: secretary@ebis.school.nz We are happy to help you get Hero set up on your device.

SUBMITTING A RESPONSE TO AN EVENT AS A CAREGIVER

Caregivers must submit a response for each of their children involved in the event.

  1. Click on No Response next to the child

2. Select Going or Not Going as applicable for this child

3. If Going is selected, fill out the permissions and options then click SAVE

4. Repeat for any other children until all have a response
