Only one teacher or admin needs to invite the guardian. When a guardian accepts the invitation, they are linked to the student in all of their classes. All verified teachers and admins can see the student’s guardian.

If you can’t invite or remove a guardian, contact your admin for help.

4. Enter the guardian’s email address.

   To invite multiple guardians, insert a comma between the email addresses.

Until the guardian accepts the invitation, you see (Invited) next to the guardian's email address. After a guardian accepts the invitation, you’ll see the guardian’s name next to the student’s name on the People page. The student also gets a confirmation email. For privacy, students don’t see the names of other students’ guardians.

Warning: This action removes the guardian from all of the student’s classes at your school, not just the classes that you teach. If guardians don’t want to receive email summaries, they can unsubscribe instead.
