Everything your school needs to know about Inscriti.

1.1 — What is Inscriti?

Inscriti is a private app schools use to keep parents, teachers, and admins connected. It replaces group chats, email blasts, paper notes, and one-off texts with a single, organized place for school news.

1.2 — What can I do with Inscriti?

• See posts and announcements from your school and your child's classes
• Message teachers and school staff
• Get notified about new posts, messages, and important updates
• See your child's classes and (where enabled) their attendance
• Request an early pickup
• View the school calendar
• Edit your profile and notification preferences

1.3 — How do I download the app?

We recommend downloading the Inscriti app before you accept your school's invitation — that way the invite link opens straight into the app instead of the web.

• On iPhone or iPad: Open the App Store. Search Inscriti. Tap Get to install.
• On Android: Open the Google Play Store. Search Inscriti. Tap Install.
• On a computer: Open your web browser and go to web.inscriti.com. You don't need to install anything.

1.4 — How do I get my first invitation?

Your school office invites you. You will receive an email titled something like "You've been invited to Inscriti."

If you don't see it in your inbox:

• Check your Spam or Junk folder.
• Make sure your school used the same email you check most often.
• Contact your school office and ask them to resend the invite.

1.5 — How do I accept an invitation?

Once you have the email and (recommended) the app installed:

1. Open the invitation email from Inscriti.
2. Tap Accept Invite (or the link in the email).
3. If the Inscriti app is installed on your phone, it opens directly and starts the onboarding. If not, it opens in your web browser to create your account.
4. Follow the onboarding steps (see below).
5. Verify your email when prompted.

Once you finish onboarding and verify your email, you're automatically signed in and linked to your school. No separate login step.

1.6 — Walk through onboarding

After tapping Accept Invite, you'll go through a short setup. Steps appear one at a time:

1. First name — type your first name. Tap Continue.
2. Last name — type your last name. Tap Continue.
3. Email — confirm your email (already filled in from the invite). Tap Continue.
4. Phone — type your phone number (optional). Tap Continue.
5. Legal — read and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Tap Continue.
6. Password — type a password (8+ characters with a number and capital letter). Confirm it. Tap Continue.

8. Notifications — choose if you want push notifications. Tap Continue.
9. Profile picture — tap Add Photo or Skip.

11.0 — About Early Sign-Out

Early Sign-Out is a kiosk-style feature for the front desk. When a parent or approved pickup person arrives to take a student home early, office staff use the kiosk on an iPad (or computer) to sign the student out with a digital signature — creating a fully audit-trailed record.

There is no parent-side request flow. Pickups happen in person at the school office.

11.1 — How the kiosk flow works

Here is what happens, start to finish, when someone arrives to pick up a student early:

1. Office staff opens the Early Sign-Out tab on the kiosk iPad.
2. Search for the student's name and tap their card.
3. Tap Sign Out.
4. Choose who is picking the student up: a linked guardian or another approved pickup person on file.
5. If the person picking up is not listed, type in their name to create a confirmed entry for the record.
6. Hand the iPad to the person signing out.
7. They sign on the screen with their finger.
8. Tap Done — the student is officially checked out.

The signature, name, time, and selected reason are all stored on the student's record automatically.

11.2 — Sign out a student (office staff)

1. Open the Early Sign-Out tab.
2. Search for the student by name.
3. Tap the student's card.
4. Tap Sign Out.

6. Hand the iPad to that person.
7. Have them sign on the screen.
8. Tap Done.

11.3 — When the pickup person isn't on the approved list

If someone shows up who isn't a linked guardian or on the approved pickup list:

1. Tap Add Pickup Person (or the option to type a name).
2. Type their full name.
3. Confirm the request — this creates a documented entry on the student's record.
4. Have them sign on the iPad as normal.

18.0 — Overview

If your school is rolling out Inscriti for the first time, follow these steps in order. The whole process typically takes about two weeks of light setup before you're ready to send invitations to parents.

18.1 — Step 1 — Set up your school profile

Open School Management. Add your name, address, timezone, color, and logo. See the School Management guide for full details.

18.2 — Step 2 — Create your current school year

From School Management → School Years, create the current year and set it as active. New students enroll into the active year by default.

18.3 — Step 3 — Choose which features to turn on

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.

18.4 — Step 4 — Add custom student 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.

18.5 — Step 5 — Invite your staff

From the Staff tab, invite your teachers and any other admins. They'll receive an email to set up their account.

18.6 — Step 6 — Add your students

Add students one at a time, or in batches if you're importing from a previous system.

18.7 — Step 7 — Create classes and enroll students

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

18.8 — Step 8 — Invite parents

From each student profile, add the parent's email. They'll receive an invite to set up their account.

18.9 — Step 9 — Send a welcome post

Send a Whole School post to welcome everyone and explain how you'll be using Inscriti going forward.

18.10 — Step 10 — Tell your community

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,
[School Name]

18.11 — Suggested launch timeline

• 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.
