Add Student Without Email #

For this setting to be enabled, admins must allow parents to add students without an email address.

Step 1: Fill out the student’s first name, last name, give them a username, and create a password. An auto-generated password will display if you choose to use that.

Step 2: Click Add Child. The student will be assigned a default email. E.g. “[parent email]+@domain.com”.
