Primary Carer Logic – iSAMS via Wonde
Applies to iSAMS schools only
Any parent or carer with “Parental Responsibility” ticked in iSAMS will now automatically be treated as a Primary Carer in ReachMoreParents.
This ensures messages to “Primary Carers” always reach at least one parent or carer with parental responsibility.
Once live, both the Primary Carer(s) and All Carers checkbox options will send messages to the same group of parental contacts.
FAQs
Which schools does this apply to?
This change applies to iSAMS schools only.
What’s changing?
Any parent or carer with “Parental Responsibility” ticked in iSAMS will now automatically be treated as a Primary Carer in ReachMoreParents.
Why is this important?
This change resolves a limitation within iSAMS, which does not include a dedicated “Primary Carer” field. Instead, iSAMS assigns an order based on when parents are added to the system, and shared parental records do not include an order at all.
As a result, some pupils previously had no designated primary contact, which could prevent messages from being delivered.
The new logic ensures that messages to “Primary Carers” in ReachMoreParents will always reach at least one parent or carer with parental responsibility, removing this inconsistency.
