Before you start, some points to note;

  • It’s a 2 stage process – you are required to register first and then install the SIMS Parent App on your smart phone or device (or just use the website, if you prefer)- Close all other windows during the registration process
  • Any usernames/passwords will relate to the account you are using to register for the app (so whatever you set up when you created your facebook/twitter/google/Microsoft/etc account)
