Adding Parent Accounts
Adding a parent account authorizes that account to access the Parent Dashboard with their credentials. Administrators can add parent accounts manually, import them from a CSV file, or import them from the following rostering platforms: OneRoster, Clever, or ClassLink. Once added, each parent must be invited before they can access the Parent Dashboard.
Note
Parent accounts can also be synced automatically from ClassLink, Clever, or OneRoster. Manually added parents persist through these syncs - to remove them, delete them directly from the dashboard. To enable or disable sync, refer to the Registration Options section.

Enter the parent's email address in the Parent Email field in the Add Parent section, then enter the corresponding student's email address in the Student Email field.
