What this app is
This app is the school portal for parents, teachers, and staff. It holds school records the office already keeps: names, email addresses, classes, messages, attendance, and tuition.
Clock-in photos
Staff clock in on the entrance tablet. Each punch can include a photo. Photos are kept for 14 days and then deleted. They are visible to payroll approvers only. The app does not do face recognition.
QuickBooks Online
The office can connect the school's QuickBooks Online company with Intuit OAuth. The connection uses the accounting scope only. For a family linked to a QuickBooks customer, the app reads that customer's balance, invoices, payments, credits, and invoice PDFs.
QuickBooks tokens are stored encrypted, on the server only. An admin disconnect revokes the token and deletes the stored copy. The public disconnect page deletes that copy only after Intuit reports the refresh token is no longer valid.
Payments
When online payment is turned on for an invoice, Pay opens Intuit's hosted invoice page. The app never stores card or bank numbers.
Where it runs
The app runs on Cloudflare Workers. The database is PostgreSQL hosted by Supabase in ca-central-1 (Canada).
What is written to QuickBooks
The app writes to QuickBooks only when an office admin turns on online payment for open invoices, or when an office admin approves payroll hours. Those writes turn on card and bank payment for an invoice, or send the approved hours to payroll as TimeActivity records. Other screens only read.
A family's link to its QuickBooks customer, and the sync history for that family, are kept for 7 years after the family leaves the school. They may be deleted after that. Clock-in photos stay on the 14-day retention. The short QuickBooks read cache is separate and is not kept for 7 years.
Access and correction
To ask for access to personal information the school holds in this app, or to ask for a correction, email ischool@altaqwa.org.
Sharing
The school does not sell personal information. It does not share it except with the service providers above, as needed to run the school, or when the law requires it.
