If your school is rolling out Inscriti for the first time, follow these steps in order. The whole process typically takes about two weeks of light setup before you’re ready to send invitations to parents.
Open School Management. Add your name, address, timezone, color, and logo. See the School Management guide for full details.
From School Management → School Years, create the current year and set it as active. New students enroll into the active year by default.
Most schools start with Calendar and Early Sign-Out turned on, and Student App Access turned off unless they want students to use the app themselves.
Add fields for anything you track about students: medical info, allergies, bus number, dismissal preferences. These appear on every student profile and can be included in printed class lists.
From the Staff tab, invite your teachers and any other admins. They’ll receive an email to set up their account.
Add students one at a time, or in batches if you’re importing from a previous system.
Create each class, assign its teacher(s), then add students.
From each student profile, add the parent’s email. They’ll receive an invite to set up their account.
Send a Whole School post to welcome everyone and explain how you’ll be using Inscriti going forward.
Send a letter or email home so parents know to expect the invite. Sample wording:
Dear families,
Our school is now using Inscriti to keep you connected with your child’s classes, teachers, and school updates. You’ll receive an invitation email shortly with instructions to set up your account.
Once you’re in, you’ll be able to read announcements, message teachers, see class updates, and request early pickups (where available) — all in one app.
If you have any questions or trouble getting started, please contact the school office.
Thank you,
[School Name]
- 2 weeks before launch: Set up school profile, school year, and features. Invite staff. Add a few test students.
- 1 week before launch: Add all students. Create classes. Have a 30-minute staff training session.
- Launch day: Send the welcome post. Send invites to parents in waves (one grade at a time is easier to support).
- First two weeks: Office staff should expect “I can’t sign in” calls. Most are solved by Forgot Password or by checking the email on file.
