eBackpack for Parents provides easy access to your child's school work with push notifications* (premium feature) to alert you when an assignment is past due or a due soon, a new grade has been returned, and much more. This app allows you to see your child's upcoming assignments, what and when your students submitted something, and the returned reviews; all in real time, not weeks later.
eBackpack is the leading platform to Assign, Collect, Review, Annotate, and Return student work, assignments, and assessments easily to support student/teacher collaboration in a paperless classroom. eBackpack includes multimedia PDF support, layered PDF, annotation edit, voice, and video capabilities!
eBackpack for Parents lets you easily:
* Receive push notifications to alert of you late, upcoming, and new assignments.
* See if your child has any incomplete assignments due tomorrow.
* See what your student submitted and the teachers returned
eBackpack, winner of the prestigious Readers' Choice Top 100 Products in Education award, offers a digital locker that is full-featured, and easy to use. eBackpack goes beyond a storage-only solution by providing workflow and collaboration: homework drop boxes supporting student turn in, teacher review, and online discussion. It is safe, secure, and accessible 24/7 from any internet connected device. eBackpack offers enhancement modules to integrate with multiple Student Information Systems (SIS) and LDAP / Active Directory for authentication.
Note: This application only allows monitoring of work completed in an existing eBackpack student account. Use of eBackpack for Parents to monitor a child's activity requires access codes which may be received from your child's school. Depending on your school's subscription, an in-app purchase may be required to unlock the full visibility of assignment details, submissions, reviews, and for push notifications. The home page with a summary of number of assignments that are coming up and those that are late will be available without purchase regardless of subscription.

Can't access app without paying $9.99. I was under the understanding it was free. It's easier for me to monitor my kids from both app and Web. How can I do that if I have to pay to access it?
