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.
• Teachers control family access and visibility through Space settings. To learn more, see How can I update Space settings?.

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.

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.
