A system for managing critical student information is disclosed generally
comprising storing information associated with individual students, such
as important medical information or contact information for the student's
parent or guardian, and providing different authorized users, such as
school administrators, teachers, or coaches, permission to access the
information and/or send messages for particular students. The stored
information for each student is associated with one or more group
identifiers, which identify particular groups of which the student is a
member, such as a school or team, and each authorized user is likewise
associated with one or more group identifiers, which identify the
particular groups for which the user has access and can send messages.
