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.
