Sims Parent App Lite
Keeping your child’s information up to date
This app is designed to show you the basic information we hold on you and your child. It provides a simple way to collect, manage and handle your information. When your child is involved in an activity, event, or trip we are able to ensure we take with us the latest information about your child.
Activating your Sims Parent account is quick and easy. The app uses Sims ID which asks you to sign in with an existing account, eg Gmail, Facebook etc. This means you do not create a separate password but you will need to remember which account you linked your app with to log in next time.
Download the app (Android and iPhone).
You’ll receive an email from SimsID to verify your account.
