# Individual parent settings and online inbox

GO 4 Schools has also given parents the option to modify their individual settings on their **My settings** page. To see the settings that a parent has set for themselves, you need to browse to the parental access page under the **People** menu:

Once on the parent access page, choose the year group for the student, and then click on the parent's name:

The **Enabled by school** settings allow you to see if the school is using the email/notification/SMS with parents. Whilst disabled, parents can still choose their own settings but they will not receive emails or notifications until it is enabled globally. If the global settings are enabled, a parent’s individual settings will override the school-wide settings, so it is a useful place to check if parents state that they are not receiving the communications.
