Instructors can share posts (thought, question or homework post) with parents of the learners who are part of their classroom(s). These posts are known as parent posts as they allow instructors to communicate posts to parents of learners, without requiring the parents to be added to any specific classrooms/groups.
As a parent, you:
- will not be able to view any comment/replies made on any parent post
- will not be able to like or see existing likes on a parent post
- will not be able to see participation, or take any action on the post
- will not be able to report the post
- Will be able to see the post content, including all attachments
- will be able to see any attached poll and its result, but will not be able to participate in the poll
- will be able to see the deadline for a homework post, but will not be able to Mark as done, or see the number of people who have marked the post as done
This article will guide you on:

In case a parent post is shared as an announcement, then you will receive the notification either as a bulletin board notification, email, or both as chosen by the instructor.
2. If you are part of any classroom(s), then the parent posts will be shown under the Newsfeed section on the homepage. The parent posts, i.e, the posts that are shared from your child's classroom will be shown with a Parent label.
