# Your account & family portal
> Tour the My Profile area — personal settings, payments, transcripts, forms — and the parent tools for tracking and viewing your children.
**School-level feature** — managed within your school portal at `yourschool.deandesk.com`.
Every user in a DeanDesk school has a personal account area. It holds your profile, family links, payments, transcript, and assigned forms in one place. Parents also get dedicated tools for tracking their children's progress and viewing the portal as a child.
To open it, click your avatar in the top-right corner of the portal and choose **My Profile**.
## Account sections
The account area is organized into grouped sections in a left-hand menu. Which sections you see depends on your role and your school's configuration.
| Group | Section | What it does | Who sees it |
| ------------ | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Personal | **My Profile** | Personal info and settings | Everyone |
| Personal | **My Family** | Family members, child applications, and volunteer hours | Everyone |
| Academic | **My Transcript** | Grades and course history | Everyone |
| Academic | **Assigned Forms** | Forms your school has assigned you to complete | Everyone |
| Financial | **Payments** | Tuition and subscriptions, including program enrollment for your children | Everyone |
| Financial | **Payment Methods** | Manage saved payment methods | Everyone |
| Financial | **Billing History** | Past transactions | Everyone |
| Financial | **Donations** | View and manage your donations | Everyone |
| Work | **My Hours** | Log additional paid work hours for payroll | Staff, when the school enables payroll additional hours |
| Bookings | **Manage Bookings** | View and manage your booked sessions | Admins and teachers |
| Bookings | **My Availability** | Set the schedule you can be booked for | Admins and teachers |
| Integrations | **Integrations** | Connect Zoom and Google Calendar | Admins and teachers |
Your school controls which sections appear. Admins can hide **My Profile**, **My Family**, **My Transcript**, **Assigned Forms**, **Payments**, **Payment Methods**, and **Billing History** school-wide from School Configuration, and some subscription plans limit the account area to a smaller set of sections. If a section listed above is missing, your school has turned it off.

## The My Family tab
**My Profile → My Family** is the hub for household management. It has up to three tabs:
* **Family & Linked Children** — your own account details, any linked parents or guardians, and a **Children** list showing each linked child's name, email, username, date of birth, and grade. Parents can unlink a child from this list.
* **Child Applications** — create and track admissions applications for your children. See [Admissions](/sis/admissions) for the full application flow.
* **Volunteer Hours** — log community-service hours and track your approved total. This tab only appears if your school has volunteer hours visible. See [Volunteers & volunteer hours](/sis/volunteers).
## The parent dashboard
When your account has parent access — typically once you have linked children with an approved application — your main Dashboard gains two parent-specific sections:
* **My Children** — a card for each child showing their course count, assignments due, and a **View as \[child]** button.
* **Children's Progress** — a compact per-child summary of courses, grades, attendance, and upcoming assignments. Expand a child's card for details, or click **View All** to jump to **My Family**.
## Viewing the portal as a child
Parents can open a read-only view of a child's world:
Find the **My Children** section.
DeanDesk opens **\[Child]'s Dashboard** — a read-only page showing the child's enrolled courses and their pending and submitted assignments.
Click **Exit View** to return to your own dashboard.
The child view is read-only. You can see what your child sees, but you cannot submit work or make changes on their behalf.
