A LITTLE HELP, WHEN YOU NEED IT

Your school is
your first stop.

For login details, student records, balances or pickup arrangements, contact your school’s office. Give them the selected school name and a clear description of the issue. Never send your password or payment PIN.

I cannot sign in.

Check the selected school and the details supplied by that school. Use Forgot password? for a reset link, or ask the school to check your account and email address.

I cannot see a feature or child.

Schools choose which services to offer and which children your account can manage. Check that you selected the right school, then contact the school to confirm access.

I paid, but the balance has not changed.

Return to OmniSchool and check the pending payment where available. If it is still unresolved, contact the school with the payment reference and time. Do not share payment PINs or authorisation codes.
