The Parent Portal has been renamed to the Student Portal. Whether you are a parent or a student, you will access the Student Portal through the d6 Communicator App. Students logged in with their own credentials will now be able to view their own school information directly.
There are three types of users who can access the Student Portal:
Students — Log in using their own email address or cellphone number.
Parents — Log in using their own email address or cellphone number.
Viewers (e.g. grandparents or au pairs) — Once a parent has granted viewer access, viewers log in using their own email address or cellphone number.
Important for schools: Students must be registered in the d6 Communicator App with their own email address as reflected on the d6 School Management Portal. If a student logs in using a parent's email address, they will see parent-level information, not student-level information.
The Student Portal is not a separate website or app — it lives inside the d6 Communicator App. There is no separate URL or standalone login page.
Download the d6 Communicator App from the App Store, or access the desktop or web version.
Students must use the email address the school has registered for them. Click Continue.
A one-time pin (OTP) will be sent to the registered email address. Enter the OTP and click Continue. If it does not arrive, check spam/junk. If expired, request a new one.
The App will prompt for a recovery mobile number. Click Skip to bypass this step.
Click Student Portal on the App home screen. The school linked to the student's profile will appear. Click Proceed.
Students can view information only — they cannot edit or change anything.
Overview: Personal information and student name.
Marks: Subject marks per term, percentages, and historical years.
Timetable: Class schedule including subject, educator, and venue.
Attendance: Attendance totals and absence records.
Discipline: Behaviour records and recognitions.
Important: Finance information is not visible to students. Only parents can view financial details.
Student (own school-registered email): Marks, timetable, attendance, discipline.
Parent (own school-registered email): All of the above, plus finance and ability to edit personal information.
Viewer (added by the parent): Marks, attendance, and discipline only.
Timetables are automatically pulled from the school's Timetabler system. Schools do not need to manually upload timetables. The school must be subscribed to d6 Timetabler for this feature to work. If timetables are not showing, the issue is likely with the Timetabler setup, not the portal itself.
A parent can add an extra viewer within the Student Portal. Viewers can only see marks, attendance, and discipline. To add a viewer: log in, click Your Profile, scroll to Add Viewer, and add the viewer via their email address or mobile number.
Student sees parent information: Ensure the student logs in with their own email, not a parent's.
Timetable not showing: Confirm the school subscribes to d6 Timetabler and the system is correctly configured.
OTP not received: Check spam/junk, or request a new OTP.
Cannot access the portal: Confirm the student has a valid email or mobile number on their learner profile in d6.
Login not recognised: The email must match exactly what the school has on record.
Students now have their own login for the Student Portal.
Students must use their own email address to log in — not a parent's.
The portal is accessed through the d6 Communicator App — not a separate website.
Students can only view their information — they cannot make changes.
The portal was previously called the Parent Portal. The name has changed to Student Portal.
If students or parents experience login issues, they should contact the school administration in the first instance. For technical support: Schools — support@d6plus.co.za | Parents/Students — appsupport@d6.co.za
This happens when the student logs in using a parent's email address instead of their own. The student must log in with the email address the school has registered specifically for them on the d6 School Management Portal.
Timetables are pulled from the d6 Timetabler system. If they are not displaying, the school likely needs to check their d6 Timetabler subscription and configuration. Contact the school directly for assistance.
No. Students have view-only access. Only parents can edit personal information. Finance information is also not visible to students — only parents can see it.
Check your spam or junk mail folder first. If the OTP has expired, request a new one from the login screen. Ensure the email address you are using matches the one registered with the school.
