From the Dashboard you can access: ![](https://support.vsware.ie/hubfs/image-Jun-30-2020-09-51-25-39-AM.png) 1. **Notifications** When a notification appears in the main part of the screen, simply click into it to read more. It could be a message for you to read, or there could be an action for you to take, for example, make a payment or submit student options etc.  2. ****Your Children**** The Child Profile section is the central hub for all the information relation to your child. To explore information about your child, click their name either from the dashboard. If you have multiple children at the school but some are missing from this list, contact the school who will be able to fix this for you. You should only ever have one parent account and all your children should be on it. 3. **Your Children dropdown**The dropdown menu for your children will remain at the top of the page, regardless of which page you're on so you can easily switch between their profiles. 4. **Your contact details** If these need to be updated, contact the school who can do this for you Note: Contact details now shows your email address. If the school doesn't have an email address on record for you, it will say 'Email not set'.  1. **'More' button** Select this dropdown for quick access to Mail (where you can send and receive messages), Fees, the Privacy Policy and to the Log Out button.  **![](https://support.vsware.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/image-Jun-25-2020-03-32-57-32-PM.png?width=102&name=image-Jun-25-2020-03-32-57-32-PM.png)** ![](https://support.vsware.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/image-Jun-25-2020-03-34-37-30-PM.png?width=352&name=image-Jun-25-2020-03-34-37-30-PM.png)   #### **On mobile** On a phone, the Dashboard and Child Profile will appear slightly differently, but the same menu items apply.  ![](https://support.vsware.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/image-Jun-30-2020-10-27-51-20-AM.png?width=245&name=image-Jun-30-2020-10-27-51-20-AM.png).        ![](https://support.vsware.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/blob-Jun-30-2020-10-31-52-65-AM.png?width=287&name=blob-Jun-30-2020-10-31-52-65-AM.png)   ![](https://support.vsware.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/image-Jun-30-2020-01-33-58-72-PM.png?width=261&name=image-Jun-30-2020-01-33-58-72-PM.png) -
