I tested this story on test.solaro.com. You can ignore the thing about https.

I am thinking we need some refinements on the page where both child and parent enter in their information (case 2, parent gets to this page by following link in email)

1) Instead of child it should say student. Eventually if high school students do start using this, they might be annoyed being called "child" all the time.

2) The student fields and the parent fields should have their own areas on the page (could add borders, background color, up to you).

3) Instructions should be displayed in their own column directly to the left of the first column, instead of individually above the fields

4)
Remove:
"Please provide login and password for your child
<childname"

Instead, the child area should look like:

Please confirm <student firstname>'s username [ text area ]
and password [ text area ]

The parent area will be similar. The first elements should be the username and password for consistency.

Your username [ text area ]
Your temporary password is <password>

You may change it here [ text area ]
confirm [ text area ]

Then in this order: First name, Last name, Gender, Afficliation Code, I Agree box, Submit

5) "Login" should be replaced with "Username"
We should be avoiding all use of the word "Login" as this word can be a verb or a noun. Username is more concise.

6) Finally the "Please enter you details" at the top left should be removed entirely. If all the above points are implemented, it will be clear to the user what this page is for
