# Why didn't parents receive my invitation email?

If you have invited family members to join your class but they cannot locate the invitation, follow these troubleshooting steps to verify the email status and ensure successful account linking.

###### Before You Start

* Confirm that you have already initiated the invitation process for the class.
* Ensure you have access to the **People** tab within your SpacesEDU teacher account.
* Note that public email providers (e.g., Gmail) may filter automated invitations into secondary folders.

###### Troubleshooting Steps for Teachers

Teachers can manage and verify pending invitations directly from the class roster.

1. **Verify the Email Address:**
    * Log in to your class and navigate to the **People** tab.
    * Click on the **Family** sub-tab.
    * Locate the family member and confirm the email address is spelled correctly.
2. **Correct Errors:**
    * If the email is incorrect, click the **three dots** (context menu) next to the name.
    * Select **Remove Family** to cancel the incorrect invitation.
    * Send a new invitation to the correct address.
3. **Resend the Invitation:**
    * If the email address is correct, click the **Resend Invite** link to trigger a new notification.

###### Guidance for Family Members

Advise family members to perform the following checks within their email client to locate the message.
| Action | Details |
| ---- |
| **Check Sender Addresses** | Search for messages from noreply@app.spacesedu.com or noreply@ca.spacesedu.com. |
| **Search All Folders** | Check the **Spam**, **Promotions**, and **All Mail** categories, as filters may bypass the primary inbox. |
| **Verify Filters** | Ensure that the spacesedu.com domain is not blocked by organizational or personal mail filters. |

###### Alternative: Direct Account Creation

If the invitation email cannot be retrieved, family members can link their accounts manually by signing up directly with the invited email address.
1. **Visit the Sign-Up Page:**
    * [Canadian/International Schools](https://account.ca.myblueprint.org/)
    * [US Schools](https://account.app.myblueprint.org/)
2. **Initiate Registration:**
    * Click **Sign Up** and enter the **exact email address** used for the invitation.
    * Select **I'm Family**.
3. **Complete Setup:**
    * **Google Users:** Select **Sign up with Google** for automatic authentication.
    * **Manual Setup:** Enter your name, set a password, and agree to the terms.
4. **Verify Email:**
    * If not using Google SSO, check your inbox for a verification message and click the **Verify Email** button.
By registering with the invited email address, the parent account will automatically link to the student's portfolio upon completion.
