How to add and update parent email addresses
School staff can add or update parent and guardian email addresses in CLI Engage. This lets teachers share home activities by email.
Prerequisites
Instructions
These instructions assume that you have already accessed the CLI Engage dashboard.
From the CLI Engage dashboard, go to the blue banner labeled Administrative Tools.
Select Class and Student Management.
In the table on the left, find and select the Parent Management tab.
On the next screen, select Add Parents.
Your class list should appear. If you have more than one class, switch to the class you need, and then select Search.
Enter or update the parent or guardian information in the fields. Parent first name, parent last name, and parent email address are required.
To add another parent or guardian for a child, select the green plus button at the end of the child’s row. A new row will appear under the child’s name. Enter the additional information as needed.
If you added a row by mistake, select the blue minus button to remove it.
After you enter the parent or guardian names and email addresses, scroll to the bottom of the screen. You should see two buttons: Submit and Submit & Invite. These buttons appear only after you enter information in the fields.
Choose one save option:
Select Submit to save the parent or guardian information in CLI Engage.
Select Submit & Invite to save the information and send parents or guardians an email invitation to create an account.
After the email addresses are saved, teachers can send home activities to parents and guardians by email through the small grouping tool in the CIRCLE Progress Monitoring System, Texas Kindergarten Entry Assessment, and other assessments.
