How to Invite Parents and Guardians to Vocab Loco Family

Vocab Loco Family lets parents and guardians follow a child's vocabulary and spelling progress at home — without a teacher login. As the teacher, you send the invitation from My Class by email or with a printable QR letter, then track who has connected.

Step 1: Go to My Class

• From your Teacher Dashboard, click My Class in the left sidebar.
• At the top of your student list, look for the Invite Your Families banner. It shows how many families are already connected and includes Invite All Families for bulk invites.

Step 2: Invite one parent or guardian

• On the Students tab, find the student in your roster.
• Open Actions for that student and choose Invite Parent — or use the invite option in the Parent column.
• The Invite a Parent / Guardian modal opens with the student's name at the top.

Step 3: Choose email or QR letter

• Under Choose an option, pick one of the following:
  • Send by email — enter the parent's email address, then click Send Invitation. They receive a secure link to create or log into their family account and accept the invite. No personal student data is included in the email (COPPA compliant).
  • Generate letter (PDF) — choose English or Spanish, then download a printable letter with a QR code the family can scan to connect.

Pro Tip: Use the QR letter when a family does not have a reliable email address, or when you prefer to send a paper invite home in the backpack.

Note: While an invitation is pending, the email address is locked. To invite a different address, cancel the invitation on the Parents tab first, then send a new one.

Step 4: Check the Parent column

• After you send an invite, the Parent column on your student list updates so you can see connection status at a glance (for example, awaiting acceptance vs. linked).
• The Invite Your Families banner progress bar also updates as more families accept.

Step 5: Manage invites on the Parents tab

• Open the Parents tab in My Class to see all invitations in one place, with a summary of linked, pending, and declined.
• For each invite you can:
  • Resend — send the email again when status is pending.
  • Revoke — cancel a pending invitation.
  • Remove — unlink a parent who already accepted, if you need to end family access for that student.
• From this tab you can also open Invite all (bulk) or Download QR letters for the whole class.

Q: What happens after a parent accepts?
A: They can log in with Parent Login and see that child's weekly progress in Vocab Loco Family — this week's words, words to review, achievements, and practice tips.

Q: Can I invite more than one family member for the same student?
A: Each student has one active parent link at a time. To connect a different email, remove or revoke the current invitation first, then send a new one.

Pro Tip: Need to invite the whole class at once? Use Invite All Families on the banner (or Invite all (bulk) on the Parents tab) to enter emails, upload a CSV, or download QR letters for every student.
