Manually add a parent or guardian to a student

If you want to quickly add a single parent or guardian to a student or add a test account to check your Community configuration, you can do this in School Manager. The parent or guardian’s details will be stored locally in School Manager, and their details will show on the student’s page.

1. In School Manager, go to Configuration> Users and Groups> Users.
2. Search for the student you want to add a parent or guardian for, and select Edit (pencil icon) on the correct student to open the Manage User page.
3. Select +Add a new parent in the Parent Details section.
4. Search for the name of the parent or guardian, select the correct parent or guardian’s name. 
5. If the search returns no results, the +Add a new parent button will appear.
6. Select +Add a new Parent and enter the new parent or guardian's First name, Last name, and unique Email Address in the Add new parent window (Middle name is optional).
7. Select Save and Add Parent.
