# How do I invite family to join my class?

Connecting families with their child's learning journey is a core part of the SpacesEDU experience. This article explains how to invite parents, guardians, and family members to your class, and how to manage those invitations.

###### Before You Start

* The family account feature is available exclusively for schools and districts licensing **SpacesEDU Pro**. If you are interested in upgrading, please contact us at [pro@SpacesEDU.com](mailto:pro@SpacesEDU.com).
* Teachers control family access and visibility through Space settings. To learn more, see [How can I update Space settings?](https://help.spacesedu.com/en-ca/article/how-can-i-update-space-settings-kcqm73/).

###### Inviting Families to Your Class

1. Select the class you want to share and click the **People** tab.
2. Click **Family**.
3. Under the student's name, enter the family member's email address.
4. Click **Send Invite**.

Once families accept the invitation, they can view and engage with their child's work based on your Space settings.

**Managing Sent Invitations**

If you are unsure if an invitation has already been sent, check the student's name in the Family tab. Previously sent invitations will appear directly below the student's name.

* **Invitation Sent**: The email has been sent, but the family member has not yet created their account.
* **Pending Approval**: The family member already has a SpacesEDU account (likely linked to another child) and simply needs to approve the new connection from their email.

| 💡 Tip: If you attempt to send a new invitation to an email address that has already been invited, you will receive an error message.

**Resending Invitations**

If a family member did not receive their invitation, you can resend it:

1. Click **People** and select the **Family** tab.
2. Locate the student's name and the parent's email address.
3. Click **Resend Invite**.

###### Good to Know

* You can invite multiple family members for each student.
* If a family member is already linked to another student in your class, you still need to invite them to link with the new student.
* For additional help with invitations that haven't been received, see our [troubleshooting guide for family invitations](https://help.spacesedu.com/en-ca/article/why-didnt-parents-receive-my-invitation-email-awzzqu/).
