Class Codes & Inviting Parents

Every way to connect a parent to a class.

There are exactly two ways a parent or guardian gets connected to a class:

  • You invite them (school-initiated). Staff add a parent’s email to a student. Inscriti emails an invitation; the moment they sign in with that email they’re linked to their child automatically — no codes, no approval step.
  • They use a class code (family-initiated). Staff share a short code (or QR) for a class; a parent enters it and connects themselves, either enrolling their child or following the class.
ℹ️

Use email invites for your core roster, and class codes for everyone else.

A class code is a short 6-character code (for example, K7M2QX) that belongs to one class, shown with a matching QR code. A parent who enters the code, scans the QR, or opens the share link is connected to that class. Codes never include confusing characters like 0, O, 1, or I.

The complete list of ways an admin or teacher can get a parent into a class:

  • Email invite from a student’s profile — auto-links when they sign in.
  • Invite the parent while creating the student — same invite, one step.
  • Share the class code or QR — parents self-join.
  • Email the class code to a specific person from the class.
ℹ️

Bulk-importing students from a CSV creates students but does not invite parents — add parent emails afterwards or share the class code.

  1. Open the Students tab and tap the student.
  2. Open the Family section and tap Invite Parent/Guardian.

  4. Choose the Relationship: Mother, Father, Guardian, or Other.

The parent gets an email to set up their account. As soon as they sign in with that email they’re linked to this child automatically.

  • Pick a child → they’re enrolled. The child is added to the roster and you get the full class experience. You’ll see “You’re in!”
  • No child selected → you follow the class. It appears on your Classes tab with a Following badge and you see its posts and notifications. You’ll see “You’re following!”

Children who are already enrolled show a ✓ Enrolled tag.

A follower can see the class on their Classes tab, read posts, like and comment, and get class-post notifications.

A follower can’t see the class roster, student profiles, or attendance (the People tab is staff-only), and can’t message through the class.

ℹ️

For full access to your child’s class, ask the school to link your child to your account.

  1. Open the class and tap People.
  2. Scroll to the Followers section (staff-only).

Removing a follower instantly stops them from seeing the class and its posts.

You can re-join anytime with the class code.
