Schools invite students and their parents to join the platform
Schools grant only 1 account per student and parent
Students will be able to socially interact with other students
Parents can only view their child’s profile and will not be able to interact with other users

Step 2 - Student Edition & Parent Edition
Once invited by their school, students and parents download the Student Edition and Parents Edition of the Tickments app respectively from the Google Play Store. Tickments is available for Android Phones and Windows/Mac computers via the Bluestacks application (www.bluestacks.com).

Step 3 - Student Edition & Parent Edition
Students and parents complete the signup and registration process.

Step 4 - Student Edition
Students share Ticks with other students. Ticks are memorable moments and students share how happy or sad they are.
Sad Ticks have a value of 4 and below
Neutral Ticks have a value of 5
Happy Ticks have a value of 6 and above

Step 5 - School Edition, Student Edition & Parent Edition
Sharing Ticks will develop a mood tracking chart that schools, parents, and students can use to catch the early warning signs of depression. Students will be able to see the Tick details and mood tracking chart of other students. Schools and parents are limited to only view the mood tracking chart of their students and children respectively*

​*Schools have the ability to view details of Ticks and Comments if they are reported for abuse.

Step 6 - Student Edition
Students can acknowledge others who provide them with respectful and supportive comments by clicking on the “I Feel Encouraged” button. Acknowledged comments are submitted to the parent(s) of the student who left the comment.

Step 7 - Parent Edition
Parent reviews comment.
If parent deems it a respectful and supportive comment, a point is given to their child.
Else, parent discusses with child and no points are given.

Step 8 - Student Edition
Students with points can redeem them at school for special rewards and privileges provided that they also behave respectfully and supportive in the school grounds.
