Welcome! This article is part of the Quick Start for Teachers.

In this step, you’ll print parent letters, help families get started with their own accounts, and use simple tools to keep them engaged.

What You’ll Do in This Step

1. Send home parent letters
2. Encourage families to create a Family Account
3. Share tools to keep families motivated and involved

1: Print and send home parent letters.

In Class Management, you’ll find printable parent letters in English and Spanish. These letters include everything families need to get started at home.

2: Help families create a Family Account.

While students can log in at home the same way they do at school, creating a Family Account unlocks helpful features:

• Families can stay logged in—no need to enter login credentials each time
• Add up to five children to one account
• Access reports, family activity calendars, help, and Parent University

Tip: On the login screen, families click “Create My Family Account” to get started.

3: Keep families motivated.

Try these ideas to build a strong home-school connection and encourage regular use:

• Send home progress charts and certificates to celebrate learning
• Share seasonal challenges during fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks
• Include reminders in newsletters, texts, or other communication to promote use
