Launching Inscriti

OverviewCopy link

If your school is rolling out Inscriti for the first time, follow these steps in order. Most schools spend about two weeks on light setup before sending invitations to parents.

Step 1 — Set up your school profileCopy link

Open School Management (it opens on the Profile tab). Add your name, address, time zone, primary color, and logos. See the School Management guide for full details.

Step 2 — Create your current school yearCopy link

From School Management → School Years, create the current year and tap Set Active. New students enroll into the active year by default. See Create a school year.

Step 3 — Choose which features to turn onCopy link

Under School Management → Features, most schools start with Calendar and Early Sign-Out turned on, and Student App Access turned off unless they want students to use the app themselves. See Turn features on or off.

Step 4 — Add custom student fieldsCopy link

Under School Management → Custom Fields, add fields for anything you track about students: medical info, allergies, bus number, dismissal preferences. These appear on every student profile and can be included in printed class lists. See Add a custom student field.

Step 5 — Invite your staffCopy link

From the Staff tab, add your teachers and any other admins. They'll receive an email to set up their account. Grant administrative access to anyone who should be able to manage the school. See Add a staff member and Give someone admin access.

Step 6 — Add your studentsCopy link

Add students one at a time, or import them from a CSV if you're coming from a previous system.

Step 7 — Create classes and enroll studentsCopy link

Create each class, assign its teacher(s), then add students.

Step 8 — Invite parentsCopy link

From each student profile, add the parent's email. They'll receive an invite to set up their account, and they're linked to their child automatically the first time they sign in.

You can also share a class code so families connect themselves — handy for self-serve sign-ups and for grandparents or aides. See Class Codes & Inviting Parents for every option.

Step 9 — Send a welcome postCopy link

Send a post with Whole School as the audience to welcome everyone and explain how you'll be using Inscriti going forward. See Create a post.

Step 10 — Tell your communityCopy link

Send a letter or email home so parents know to expect the invite. Sample wording:

Dear families,

Our school is now using Inscriti to keep you connected with your child's classes, teachers, and school updates. You'll receive an invitation email shortly with instructions to set up your account.

Once you're in, you'll be able to read announcements, message teachers, see class updates, and request early pickups (where available) — all in one app.

If you have any questions or trouble getting started, please contact the school office.

Thank you,

Suggested launch timelineCopy link

• 2 weeks before launch: Set up school profile, school year, and features. Invite staff. Add a few test students.
• 1 week before launch: Add all students. Create classes. Have a 30-minute staff training session.
• Launch day: Send the welcome post. Send invites to parents in waves (one grade at a time is easier to support).
• First two weeks: Office staff should expect "I can't sign in" calls. Most are solved by Forgot password? or by checking the email on file.
