Why didn't parents receive my invitation email?
Email invitation troubleshooting
So - you've invited your students' families to join your class, but some parents can't find the email invitation.
Not to worry, there is a solution!
- First, log in to your class and open the People tab, then click Family
- Locate the family member, and review that the email address the invitation was sent to is correct.
- If you notice a mistake in the email, you can click the three dots, then Remove Family , and remove the invitation sent to the incorrect email.
- Once complete, you can send a new invitation to the correct address.
- If the email was correct, click the Resend Invite link to try re-sending.
I've resent the email - now what?
- Let the family member know to check for a new email from either:
- Gmail and other public email platforms have grown increasingly aggressive in filtering out messages that are deemed potentially unwanted or 'not important' by their systems
- Let parents know to ensure they have checked in the ' all mail ' category within their email client, rather than just their inbox, along with any folders for spam or Promotions
- The email that parents will receive looks like this:
I've exhausted all possibilities and we can't find the email anywhere!
If they have searched everywhere and you've re-sent the email, and a family member just can't seem to receive it - there is still a solution!
Parents can sign up for an account directly at SpacesEDU.com:

- Click I'm Family
- For Gmail users: you can click Sign up with Google and log in with the same Gmail account that your invitation was sent to
- You will be prompted to agree to the terms of use, then enter your Google credentials, or select an account if you are already logged in
- Ensure that you select the account that the family invitation was sent to
- For non-Gmail users, or if you prefer to set a password directly in SpacesEDU:
- Enter your first and last name
- Set a password
- Check off that you agree to the terms, and click Sign Up
- By creating the account this way, you should be automatically linked to the student you were invited to.
- Accounts created with the Google login option will not require you to validate the email by clicking a link in your inbox.
- If you have not used the Google login option, you will be required to validate your email address.
- Check your email for a message from noreply@app.spacesedu.com or noreply@ca.spacesedu.com and click the Verify Email button.
