Who can do this? Parent Square Admins and Teachers.

Do you have a co-teacher, or long-term substitute teacher that you want to add to a class? Adding them to the class in Parent Square will allow them to post to the class, and send messages to students/parents in the class. Watch the video, a quick animation or follow the step-by-step directions below.

How to Manage Staff in a class

1. From Admin, select Classes under Data Assistant.

2. Click action menu (three dots) next to the class and choose Manage Staff/Room Parents. 

3. Manage Staff/Room Parents allows you to add other Teachers, Room Parents, or Assistants. Click Add Row, fill out details and click Save. For co-teachers and substitute teachers choose the Teacher role. Type the title "Long-Term Substitute Teacher" (if a sub), or "Co-Teacher" (if an additional teacher). If you are adding a long-term sub for middle/high school, you will have to do this whole process for all classes assigned to that teacher.

Note: The member must already be in the school directory.

Note: If you are the lead teacher posting, added staff will only receive class posts that are sent to their user role. If you add a staff user as a co-teacher, don't forget to send all of your class posts to Staff and Parents so that both your co-teacher and families receive it.
