Schoolyi

Create accounts, link children, and invite after enrollment

Parents & guardians

Create parent and guardian users, link them to students, and send magic-link invites after admissions — so families log in once for every child. Parent portal adoption fails when accounts are wrong or missing. Schoolyi links guardians to students during admissions or from the roster, supports multi-child dashboards, and troubleshoots sign-in without exposing student PII in support tickets.
