Using ParentSignal alongside Arbor MIS
How ParentSignal integrates with Arbor via Wonde to give parents a dedicated action-first experience while keeping Arbor as your statutory MIS.
Integration versus replacement
Arbor is your school's statutory Management Information System (MIS). ParentSignal does not replace your MIS — it syncs with Arbor via Wonde to provide a streamlined parent portal, automated reminder suppression and end-of-day pickup workflows.
