AI-Powered, Irish-Built

Parent, Teacher & Student Portals

Square Root Solutions is a parent, teacher & student portal development company offering full education portal development services, building portals people actually log into, not one more app that gets forgotten after the first week. We design around how Irish schools actually communicate, one login per audience, sharing the same data underneath.

The problem with most school portals

Most schools end up running communication across a mix of email chains, texts, noticeboards, and whatever app happened to be free. Parents miss things, teachers repeat themselves, and students end up asking the office questions the system should already answer.

If you've ever tried to run school communication this way, some of this will sound familiar:

Parents ask the office questions that a portal should already answer, attendance, homework, fees

Teachers spend time on routine messages that could be automatic, not a genuine use of their time

Students juggle separate logins for coursework, timetable, and grades, and forget half of them

A single school update means posting it in four different places and hoping everyone sees one

None of that is really about the technology. It's about separate tools trying to do one job
badly, instead of one system doing it properly.

What we actually build

As an education web portal development company offering parent teacher communication portal development, we build separate experiences for parents, teachers, and students sharing the same underlying data.

We build portals from scratch, and modernise or extend existing ones for EdTech companies who already sell a portal or communication product.

Parent Portals

Attendance, homework, fees, and direct messaging with staff, so parents stop needing to ring the office for answers the system should already have.

Teacher Portals

Planning, marking, and communication in one place, built to reduce admin time, not add another tool to manage.

Student Portals

Coursework, grades, timetable, and communication in a single login, so students aren't juggling three separate apps.

Single sign-on across all three

One login per audience, sharing the same underlying data, so information updates once and appears everywhere it should.

Role-based visibility

Each portal shows exactly what that audience needs to see, and nothing they shouldn't.

One Connected Experience for Every Education Community

Explore how we connect parents, teachers and students through role-based portals that share the same data, simplify communication and keep everyone aligned across the learning journey.

EdTech

We built MOSAIC, a child-led documentation platform that gives every child a digital e-storybook combining attendance, care records, learning stories, photos, and videos. Educators capture updates through a tablet app, while parents receive them instantly.

An admin panel manages services, rooms, permissions, and templates, replacing disconnected paper and digital systems.

Built for how Irish schools actually communicate

We know a parent checking homework from their phone on a commute needs something different from a teacher marking a stack of assignments between classes, and both need something different again from a student checking tomorrow's timetable. We build each portal around its actual audience, not one interface trying to serve all three badly.

That's the standard Square Root Solutions builds to, every time.

Who this is for

Schools wanting to replace fragmented communication tools with one connected system, built on integration with existing school systems

Multi-school groups needing consistent portals across every site, supported by multi-school and multi-campus architecture

School leaders looking to cut down on routine queries to the office

EdTech companies whose own portal or communication product needs modernising, new features, or the scale to grow

Data stays where it should

Delivered with GDPR-aware access and data controls by default, hosted in Ireland, not just "somewhere in the EU." Portals carry sensitive family, academic, and financial data, so access is scoped tightly by role as the baseline, not an upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most projects start with a two-week Discovery Sprint that scopes the build properly, followed by a phased rollout, often parent and student portals first, teacher tools shortly after.

Separate logins, same underlying platform. Each audience sees only what's relevant to them, but the data stays consistent across all three.

Yes, portals are built to connect with the systems you already run, so information like attendance or grades doesn't need entering twice.

It's yours. The platform, the data, and the codebase belong to you, not locked into a subscription you can't take with you.

Very little. Portals are designed to be self-explanatory, since neither audience is going to sit through onboarding for a school app.

Yes, multi-language support can be built in from the start where it's needed, including Irish, flag it during Discovery and it's scoped in.

Yes. As well as building new portals, we modernise and extend existing portal and communication products, adding features, integrations, and scale to something you already sell, without a full rebuild.
