Use this guide to change a parent or guardian’s contact details or remove a contact from a student’s record.

Before removing a contact: removing the guardian prevents them from logging in and blocks all communications. Check that you have selected the correct student and guardian. At least one contact must remain on the student’s record.

Open the student’s contact details

1. Sign in to uniqueschoolapp.ie.
2. Open Administration → Add & Edit Students/Staff, then select Students. In the newer dashboard, this area is labelled Manage MIS List → Students.
3. Search for the student and check their year and class.
4. Click the Edit pencil beside their record.
5. Scroll to Primary Guardian or Secondary Guardian.

Edit or add contact details

1. Enter or correct the guardian’s first name, last name, country code and mobile number.
2. To add a second contact, switch on Enable Secondary Guardian and enter their details.
3. Select Save Changes.

For Irish mobile numbers, select +353 and leave out the first 0 from the mobile number.

Changing a mobile number? A change made by staff unlinks the parent, who must relink using the new number and verification code. Follow Change a Parent or Guardian’s Mobile Number for the full steps.

Remove a secondary guardian

1. Open the student’s Edit form as described above.
2. Check the contact under Secondary Guardian.
3. Switch off Enable Secondary Guardian.
4. Select Save Changes.
5. Reopen the student’s details and check that the contact is no longer listed.

Do not use the Delete button beside the student’s record. That is for deleting the student, not removing a guardian.

Changing the primary guardian

Every student must have at least one contact. You cannot leave the primary guardian details blank. If that person should no longer be the contact, update the Primary Guardian fields with the correct replacement contact’s details and select Save Changes. Check the name and mobile number carefully. Do not use dummy details. If you need help, contact staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie.

Keep contact records up to date

Make the contact change in Unique Schools. If your school also keeps these details in VSware or Tyro, keep that record up to date too. Do not assume a later change there has updated the existing contact in Unique Schools.
