Teachers can now invite families to connect to their class using a Class Link. Any teacher connected to the class can provide the class link to all family members who should be connected to a student in the class. When you share this link with families, they will be able to use it to request to connect to a student in your class. These connections will need to be approved by you or another teacher connected to the class before families can connect to a child.
Please Note:
- At this time, you must be a school-approved teacher at a school in order to access a class link. Click here to find out how to join a school.
-
You can send the link via email to any families you would like connected to your class or you can post the Class Link in your class newsletter for all families to access.
-
When families use the link, they will be prompted to create an account or log in to an existing account. They will then enter their student’s name to request to connect to a particular student in your class.
- Click on the bell icon in your class to access the notification, and then click on the pending connection request notification.
-
In the window that pops up, you will see the name of the student the parent is requesting to connect with and the email address that the parent signed up with. Click “Approve” to connect the parent to your class, and click “Deny” to decline the request.
The connection to the student will then show pending on the family's side until you approve the request. Here’s how you can approve or deny a request:
-
If the family member should be connected to a different student, you can also click “Change” to scroll through the students in each class you own before selecting "Approve."
