Four statements that used to be collected on paper: image consent, health information, walking home alone, and the list of people authorized to collect your child. Each has its own page, but the same rules govern all of them — worth learning once.

​
Rules that apply to all four

A missing statement is never a recorded refusal. A blank means “nothing is known”, not “the parent said no” — and that is how the school sees it too.
Go to Image publication consent. This is the only one of the four that is a genuine consent — it has a “given” state and a “withdrawn” state, and you can move between them at any time.
State whether you agree to your child’s image being published in (school year). You can withdraw at any time — exactly as easily as you give it.
The consent is not blanket — you name the places it covers, and it covers only the ones you tick:
  • School website
  • School social media
  • Printed materials (newsletter, yearbook)
At least one is required: “Select at least one publication place — a consent naming none says nothing.” You send it with Send consent (“Consent sent to the teacher.”), change its scope with Save changes, and withdraw it with Withdraw consent — at which point the app says plainly: “Consent withdrawn. The teacher now sees no consent.” Your child shows one of three sentences, and the third case is separate on purpose:
Image consent is the only one of the four with a history. Under Statement history you can see each of your earlier positions with its date — “(date) — consent given”, “(date) — consent withdrawn”. Nothing disappears from it: giving and withdrawing append a new entry rather than overwriting the previous one.
Zebrania does not publish photos. The app says so outright: “Zebrania does not publish photos and is not a party to this consent — we only relay your position. The school is responsible for the lawfulness of any publication.” Withdrawing therefore reaches the homeroom teacher, but does not remove photos already published — ask the school about those directly.

​
Health statement

Go to Health statement. This is the most sensitive place in the whole product, and it is built the most tightly of the four.
Tell the homeroom teacher what they need to know to keep your child safe in (school year) — allergies, medication, diet. You can change or withdraw this at any time.
There are exactly three fields and nothing else:
This is not a general notes field about your child. Only health facts belong here — the three above. There is no room for an “in case of emergency” phone number either: the emergency-contact field was deliberately removed from this form, because it duplicated contact details and put a third party’s number inside the narrowest set of data in the product. Who to call follows from the contact details, not from this statement.
Filling in one field is enough; an entirely empty form is rejected: “A statement has to say something. Fill in at least one field, or withdraw it.” If a description runs very long you’ll see “This field is too long. Shorten it to what matters most.” You save with Save statement (“Statement saved.”). Each save replaces the previous one in full — including fields you deliberately cleared, so deleting a sentence from the form really does delete it. You withdraw with Withdraw statement:
Withdrawing deletes the data irreversibly. The app says so twice — “Withdrawing deletes the statement for good — nothing is kept.” before you click, and “Statement withdrawn. The data has been deleted.” after. There is no history and no copy: if you want to keep the text, copy it yourself before withdrawing.
Who sees it: “Only you and your child’s homeroom teacher can see this statement. Other parents and teachers of other classes cannot.” The list on the school’s side holds only children something was filed for — a child with no statement has no row there, so a blank cannot be misread as “healthy, no allergies”.
Your statement is enough. The app makes a point of it: “Your statement is enough — a school may not demand a doctor’s certificate.” There is no way to attach a file here, and none is needed.
The statement covers one year: “A statement covers the named school year only. It has to be given again in September.” Before you file anything, your child shows “No statement filed for (year) yet. The teacher has no health information about this child.”

​
Walking home alone

Go to Walking home alone. Here you make a single statement, taking responsibility on yourself:
I declare that my child may walk home from school on their own and may leave school unaccompanied after lessons end in the school year given. I take responsibility for my child’s safety on the way home from school.
Any guardian linked to the child can make it, with the Make the declaration button (“Declaration saved.”). It covers the whole school year — there is no picking weekdays or individual dates. Once it exists, your child shows “Declared for (year). You can make it again if you want to refresh it.”, and the button becomes Declare again. Declaring again does not create a second declaration — it refreshes the one you have.
This declaration cannot be withdrawn in the app. There is no withdrawal button, and that is not an oversight: there is no stored “no” either. What matters is the presence of the declaration — a child with none on file for the year is released only to an adult, and that is the default, safe behaviour.In practice: if you change your mind mid-year, tell the homeroom teacher directly. Simply not clicking anything changes nothing — a declaration made for this year stays visible to the school until the school year ends.
If that worries you, notice which way the asymmetry runs: a blank works in favour of safety. Until you state otherwise, the school will not release your child to themselves.

​
Pickup authorizations

Go to Pickup authorizations. Here you name adults other than the guardians who may collect your child from school.
Name the people who may collect your child from school in (school year). You can remove anyone at any time.
You add someone with Add person (“Person added to the list.”). Only a first name is required; the rest is optional, and the app says what each field is for: If a document number is malformed you’ll see “Invalid document number. Enter a PESEL or an ID card number without special characters.” The same person added twice will not be duplicated — you’ll get “This person is already on the list for this school year.” You remove an authorization with Remove (“Person removed from the list.”).
Removal erases the entry completely — no trace is left and no “authorization revoked” annotation. This is deliberate: a third party’s data should not be kept longer than it is needed. From that moment the school sees the list without that person.
Until you name anybody you’ll see “Nobody named for (year) yet. The child will only be released to their guardians.” — so an empty list does not stop you collecting your own child.
Tell the person you are naming. Zebrania never contacts them: “Zebrania never contacts the person you authorize — telling them that you are sharing their details with the teacher is your responsibility.” You are entering somebody else’s name, and sometimes their document and phone number — they ought to know about it.
The document number is protected more tightly than the rest: on screen the homeroom teacher sees it masked, and it appears in full only on the printed list — where it is needed as the child is handed over. Authorizations expire with the year too: “Authorizations apply to the named school year only. They have to be given again each September.”

​
Withdrawal — four different answers

Withdrawal looks different in each of the four cases, so it is worth having in one place: In none of these cases is there an “are you sure?” prompt — the click acts immediately.

​
Who sees all of this

All four statements reach the homeroom teacher of your child’s class and — except for the health statement — the people who run the school’s affairs. Other parents and teachers of other classes do not see them. The school reads them when somebody opens the class list — it does not get a notification at the moment you file, change or withdraw something. If a change is urgent (you are withdrawing a pickup authorization for today, say), phone or write to the school rather than relying on somebody looking at the system. What exactly is visible on the school’s side, and what deliberately is not, is covered by Class views and printouts and Privacy.
