Hi, Julian,
Yes. As of version 1.7, you can design a "role" to make this possible - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles
I have the impression that this is about 99% ready for prime time.
Hope that helps a bit.

Exactly how would you define the parent role? I.e., what capabilities would a 'parent' need to be able to view just his/her child's grades?
Good question.
I don't think roles are the answer (could be wrong)
The only way, I know, for parents to get student marks would be to have them login as their child.

Hi Jeff,
There is a mentee block in moodle and as a mentee you login into the same course as the child and view the gradebook from there.
I am just looking for a way to access all gradebooks from one source i.e. an overall grade book per child
You should find Yu Zhang's post here helpful: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=57812
And doing an advanced search for 'parent' in the 'roles and capabilities' forum may throw up some other useful tips & ideas.
It's a little fiddly but I have got it to work ok with a test account.

So does the parent see everything the child sees?
is the parents version read only ?
I take it that parent have to subscribe to all course the student has as well or not.
I need time to test this, but If the have to join the class as i read some ware else but is is easy for the teachers to see who is a parent and who is a real student

I've only used it on a test basis, so you may get a more expert reply, but in answer to your Qs:
1. Yes -but see 2 below.
2. Yes - assuming you set it up as in Yu' s post in http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=57812.
But you can alter the role settings for 'parent' to allow/disallow what they can see or do.
3. This happens automatically if you link the parent to the student as recommended above.
4. Yes - if you view 'Participants' in the course you can view 'all' or for each separate role - so you can see a list of student participants and a list of parent participants
Setting up the parent role takes a little fiddling with the role settings, but is not difficult - the list of settings is intimidating but those blue Q marks give you the help you should need.
The fiddly bit is that (obviously) you need to allocate each parent to their offspring.
Hope this helps.
