New contacts do not receive any notifications from SchoolStatus Connect until either:
-
A leader enables the SchoolStatus Connect Invitation to be sent.
-
A leader or teacher sends an Announcement or Conversation to that contact from SchoolStatus Connect.
- Send an Announcement, Newsletter, or personal Conversation
- Send a formal SchoolStatus Connect Invitation
SchoolStatus Connect Invitation is an option for schools that want a clear and formal way to invite parents to join their school on SchoolStatus Connect, but it is NOT required. New contacts added to SchoolStatus Connect can still begin receiving communications sent by teachers, staff, or school leaders– even if they have never received a formal Invitation.
Here’s how you can send a formal SchoolStatus Connect Invitation to new contacts:
- Visit the School Directory
- Select the black + button
- Select “Send Invitation”
- Choose the audience(s) for which you would like to send Invitations
-
Click "Send Now"
Invitations will be sent to all guardians or staff who have NOT already joined your school on SchoolStatus Connect.
Repeat this process periodically to invite new contacts throughout the year.
*Remember, even if you never send a formal Invitation, new contacts should still be able to receive your communications and join your school.
Upon a contact's first time to "join" or visit the Connect portal, they will be prompted to select a password and their language preference. Now they can sign in to their SchoolStatus Connect account any time they want.
