NEW FEATURE

Share Student Progress with Parents — One Link, No Login

April 2026 · 3 min read

The number one question parents ask PE teachers: "How is my kid doing?"

Until now, answering that meant pulling up a spreadsheet, remembering a number, or writing a vague comment on a report card. Today, Running Kiddos makes it as easy as sharing a link.

How It Works

That's it. The parent taps the link on their phone, and they see their child's PE progress — instantly, with no download, no login, no account.

What Parents See

The progress page shows:

• Total laps and distance — the big picture
• Runs attended — how often they're participating
• Average laps per run — consistency
• Laps-per-run chart — visual trend over time (are they improving?)
• Run history — every session with date, group, laps, and distance

What Parents Don't See

Privacy matters. The shared link shows only that one student's data. Parents cannot see:

• Other students' names, laps, or progress
• Class rankings or comparisons
• Teacher information
• School admin details
• Any editing or management features

Teacher Controls

Links are generated per student, not per class. You decide which students get shared links and when.

When to Use It

• Parent-teacher conferences — "Here's a link to Emma's PE progress. You can check it anytime."
• Report cards — paste the link in the comments section alongside the grade
• Weekly updates — send home a link at the end of each week with a note: "Your child ran 18 laps this week!"
• When parents ask — instead of looking up data and typing a response, just share the link
• Celebrations — "Your child hit 100 total laps! Here's their progress page."

The Viral Effect

When parents see their child's progress page, they see real data. Numbers. A chart going up. That's something worth sharing.

"My kid ran 50 miles this semester in PE!" — that's a Facebook post. A text to grandma. A screenshot in the family group chat. Every share is free marketing for your PE program, and for Running Kiddos.

The progress page includes a small "Powered by Running Kiddos" footer. Other teachers see it, ask about it, try it.

No Extra Cost

Parent progress sharing is included in every Running Kiddos plan — Base and Base + AI. No add-on, no per-student fee. You're already tracking the data; sharing it is free.
