How do I get my Teacher or School Staff account "School-Approved?"

To access school-connected classes or school-wide features like the School Directory or School Story, it is required for teachers and school staff to be school-approved. This ensures a safe and secure environment for everyone. To become a school-approved teacher, you must verify your email address first. Afterwards, you can follow one of the simple steps below.

How to Get School-Approved

Complete one of the options below:

• Accept an invitation from a School Leader to join a school as a teacher.
• Request to join your school 
  Follow the steps in the guide linked above to join your school. Your account will be auto-approved if you've used a school-issued email address and if your school has previously enabled auto-approval based on the school's email domain. Otherwise, once you’ve sent your request, a School Leader or a teacher with Admin permissions can approve your request.
• Send us a photo of your School ID
  Provide our Support Team with a clear photo of your School ID showing your name, school name, and role. We'll verify your info and delete the image right after.
• Send us a staff directory link
  Provide our Support Team with a direct URL to a page on your school’s website that lists you as a staff or faculty member. (Just make sure it’s not the homepage!)

💡 Don’t have any of these? Reach out to our Support Team—we have alternative documentation that we can use instead.

School-approval isn’t required to use an account, but it is required to use any school-connected class or school-wide features, as it helps to ensure safety within your school community.
