Two kinds of invitation go out from the school, and they differ not only in who receives them but in who may send them: Both routes are covered here, so nobody has to guess whether their capability is classed as teaching or as administration.

​
Guardian invitation

A guardian is invited from the class page: open the class, find the student, and press Invite a guardian. The Guardian email or phone field is optional:
  • enter an address or number — the app sends the invitation and confirms “Invitation sent to (recipient)”;
  • leave it blank — you get a Guardian invite link to copy and pass on yourself (through a school register or messenger, say).
If you lack the permission you’ll see: “Only this class’s homeroom teacher, a school secretary, or an administrator can do this.”
A guardian invite link grants access to that student’s data. Pass it only to the person it’s meant for — anyone who opens it becomes a guardian.
This route is recent: previously only a parent could invite a guardian, which left the school with no way to add a parent who couldn’t get started alone. Today both routes produce the same invitation — the parent does it from their side, covered in Inviting a guardian. A guardian invitation has no separate “resend”. Just create a new one: repeat Invite a guardian for that student and a fresh link is minted.

​
Teacher invitation

A teacher is invited to a school by a school administrator, and only by them. A secretary or homeroom teacher cannot; attempting it shows: “Only a school administrator can do this. Ask an administrator of your school to make the change for you.” When inviting, the administrator supplies an email address and can immediately assign the person to specific classes, marking them as a subject teacher or a homeroom teacher in each. Those assignments take effect the moment the invitation is accepted — there’s no separate step to come back to. If that person already has a pending invitation to the school, the app refuses: “This teacher has already been invited to this school.” Don’t send a second one — resend the one already waiting. A teacher invitation can be resent by an administrator from the team list. Resending extends validity by another 7 days and sends a fresh message, as long as the invitation is still waiting to be accepted. An administrator can also revoke it. The screen where this happens is covered in Classes, team and school year.

​
Validity

Invitations — guardian and teacher alike — are valid for 7 days from sending. After that the link stops working and a new one is needed. After a resend the recipient’s inbox holds two messages. The newest one works — it is worth asking them to delete the older one.
