Manage family settings and logins

The family organizer controls the shared homeschool workspace. You can also give each teacher or student a separate login with the access that makes sense for them.

1. 1

   Open Homeschool Setup

   Use Homeschool Setup to find students, school years, subjects, Calendar Categories, School Details for Reports, family settings, and logins.

2. 2

   Keep family records current

   Update students and school years as your homeschool changes. Avoid creating duplicate students when an existing record only needs editing.

3. 3

   Choose the sections your family uses

   Open What You Keep in Commonplace to turn everyday sections on or hide them. This choice applies to the whole family, and hiding a section never deletes its records or stops the feature from working.

4. 4

   Shape the sidebar

   Open Customize menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Use Add or hide sections to change what appears, and Reorder sections to put the most-used areas where they are easiest to reach.

5. 5

   Invite another teacher

   Create or invite a teacher login when another adult should help manage the family workspace.

6. 6

   Manage an invitation

   In Family Accounts, Resend invitation sends another email. Cancel invitation turns off that sign-up link. For an expired invitation, choose Send new invitation to send a fresh link.

7. 7

   Create student access

   Give a student their own login when they should use My Day or other permitted areas.

8. 8

   Narrow a student login when needed

   A student can see only the family-wide sections that are turned on, and you can narrow that student’s access further. Dashboard remains available.

9. 9

   Review access after changes

   When responsibilities change, update the login’s role or visible sections so access still matches your intent. Adding something through Quick Add can turn a hidden section back on and briefly mark it Added in the sidebar.
