The school’s Parent Guideline (V2.1) as short steps with real phone screenshots. The red box shows where to tap. Tap any picture to enlarge it.
Every parent signs in through ParentID Passport, the school’s parent login.
Open Chrome and go to ishcmc.schoolsbuddy.net.
Skip the Email and Password boxes at the top. Parents always tap ParentID Passport at the bottom.
If your school email is linked to Apple, Facebook, Google or Microsoft, tap that button under “Or sign in with”. Recommended
Type your parent email and password, then tap the blue Log In button.
Tap Forgot Password? above the Log In button.
Enter your username or parent email and tap Submit. Open the email link, set a new password, then log in as in step 4.
You land on your SchoolsBuddy Dashboard. Next time, ParentID Passport may remember you and take you straight here.
Clubs and ASAs are allocated by preference, not first come, first served.
On the Dashboard, tap Activities, Clubs & Bookings (or open it from the ☰ menu).
Find the sign-up for the current season, e.g. Primary Clubs and Activities, Season 2, check the closing date, and tap Choose (it shows Review / Choose once you have choices).
The top of the page explains the four steps: choose, make choices, submit, await allocation.
Tap a day, e.g. Monday, to see that day’s activities. Only make choices for days you want an activity.
Each activity shows the time, fee, room and number of places.
Under your child’s name, tick 1 (1st choice), 2 or 3. N/A means no activity. To change a tick, untick it first.
Here Pref 1 is ticked for 3d-Pen Artists on Monday.
Tap Save for Later to keep a draft, or Next when every day is done.
The review page lists each child’s choices by day. When it is right, tap Submit to School and accept the terms. Your choices are not sent until you do this
Back on the sign-up card, the number of choices per child turns green. If the card still says Review / Send, your choices are saved but not sent.
Before the deadline, open the sign-up again, tap Amend choices (called “Edit choices” on some screens), adjust the ranking and submit again.
See every allocated activity, day by day.
Tap My Calendar on the Dashboard or in the ☰ menu.
Choose a date range to see each day’s activities. It stays empty until places are allocated.
Some clubs (e.g. Orchestra) take requests instead of preferences.
In Activities, Clubs & Bookings, find the club and tap Request to Join.
Select a day, tick Ask to join next to the activity, then tap Send Request.
The number shown (e.g. 15) is the total number of seats, not the places still free.
You will get an email saying the request was approved or rejected.
Emails come from noreply@schoolsbuddy.com, shown as ISHCMC. Look for subjects such as ASA Confirmation and Join Request Approved. Reply or follow the steps when a message asks you to act, e.g. to confirm an absence.
Every message is also in Messages → Inbox.

Before the deadline: Activities, Clubs & Bookings → open the sign-up → Amend choices → update → submit again.
No problem: edit and resubmit any time before the deadline.
Read the reason in the email and contact the school if you need help.
Make sure you opened the correct season’s sign-up card (check the season name and closing date).
