In January our city switched from a web portal to an app-only system.
Last fall I was working on getting a username+password access to the portal, since the students and teachers don't need BankID to log in. I was using my son's login to read the weekly newsletters.
At the time I warned our skolnämnden that I would not be getting a smartphone. They switched to app-only, making it impossible for me to get info or let the school know about absences or late arrive.
It took talking with the teachers, with fritids, and the principal to work out an email-based option.
