Turn on the opt in parent directory

The parent directory replaces the paper PTA directory. Families in the same class can find each other. Each family chooses what to share.

Before you start

• Students need a class on your roster. Families only see other families in their own child’s class.
• Families use it in the family portal, where they sign in with an email link. See Sign in to the family portal.

Steps

1. Go to Front office, then Fees.
2. Tap Parent directory.
3. Tap Turn it on and confirm.

The page now says the directory is on. To stop it, tap Turn it off. Families stop seeing it right away, and their choices are kept for next time.

What families share

• Name, email, and phone are each off until the family turns them on.
• Children show as a first name and last initial only.
• Families see only the classes their own children are in.
• Families the office removed or restricted are never listed and never see it.
• Nothing is public. There is no link to share and search engines never see it.

Good to know

• Turning it on does not email families. Tell them in your next message home.
• You need Front office edit access to turn it on or off.
