Invite parents into the class

Each parent gets an invitation by email, at their own address, for their own child. The parent creates no password: they receive a sign-in link.

Send the invitation​

Send the invitation to the parent's email address from the student's page. Invitations you have sent then appear under "Invitations sent", with their status: "Pending", "Accepted" or "Expired".

Until you have sent anything, the list reads "No invitations sent yet."

Follow up and resend​

A "Pending" invitation has not been accepted yet. Tap "Resend" to send it a second time. To cancel an invitation that went to the wrong address, tap "Withdraw invitation".

Unblock a parent​

Here is what the parent sees, and what you do in each case.

Resend the invitation. The parent sees: "This invitation link has expired. Ask the teacher to send you a new one."

The parent has already joined the class. They simply need to sign in, not join a second time.

The parent is signed in with a different address​

The invitation is tied to one specific address. If the parent is using another account, LinoClass tells them: "This invitation was sent to a different email address than the one you are signed in with." There are two ways out, and the parent picks: sign in with the invited address, or ask you for an invitation to the address they normally use.

The parent receives nothing​

The link arrives by email. Have them check the junk folder, then confirm the address letter by letter before resending. A mistyped address is the most common cause.

tip

An address typed with capitals works. LinoClass treats "Parent@example.com" and "parent@example.com" as one and the same address.

What the parent sees next​

Opening the link, the parent sees "Add your child" and their child's name. They enter their email, get a sign-in link, and land in the class. No password is created.
