Video Walkthrough - Adding Parents
Adding Parents
- Go to the 'my children' section of the admin or teacher dashboard and click on the profile of the child you want to assign parents to.
- Click on the 'parents and carers' button.
- Click ‘add parent/carer’
- Enter the parent email in the 'email' field and then click begin.
- You can then add the parents details. A username is required, we recommend using a format of First Name followed by Last Name and followed by the Child's name. For example, if a parent was named John Smith and their child was named Graham Smith the username could be JohnSmithGraham. We also recommend filling in the First and Last name fields. Once you are happy, click the 'create' button. Please be aware that as soon as you click 'create', the created parent will get access to that child's learning journal.
Editing Parents and Sending Reminder Emails
If at any point you need to edit the parent's username, click the 'edit' symbol, make your changes, then click 'save'. Then click the 'resend' email button to send the parent the new login details.
Parents of Siblings
There will often be occasions where a parent has multiple children at the same Early Years Setting. Arc Pathway allows parents to be assigned to multiple children.
To do this, add a parent to the first child (’child 1’) using the process described in the ‘step by step’ section above. To add the second child ('child 2’) follow the process above and you will see the below prompt where you can add the parent already created to this second child.’
Then go to the second child and follow the process described above and enter the same parent email address as you did for ‘child 1’. You will then receive a message similar to the below, where you will need to click ‘yes’:
The parent will then be able to access this child using the same login as you set up previously for ‘child 1’.
Deleting Parents
If you need to delete a parent on an Arc Pathway system you can select the ‘bin’ icon next to the parents name in the parents/carers section
You will then be asked to confirm whether you are sure whether you want to remove the guardian from this profile. When you select delete this parent will lose access to the associated child’s learning journal.
