Schools invite students and their parents to join the platform
Schools grant only 1 account per student and parent
Students will be able to socially interact with other students
Parents can only view their child’s profile and will not be able to interact with other users

Step 2 - Student Edition & Parent Edition
Once invited by their school, students and parents download the Student Edition and Parents Edition of the Tickments app respectively from the Google Play Store. Tickments is available for Android Phones and Windows/Mac computers via the Bluestacks application (www.bluestacks.com).

Step 3 - Student Edition & Parent Edition

Step 5 - School Edition, Student Edition & Parent Edition

Schools and parents are limited to only view the mood tracking chart of their students and children respectively*

​*Schools have the ability to view details of Ticks and Comments if they are reported for abuse.
