ClassConnect

How ClassConnect works

A practical guide for parents and teachers to connect, communicate, and keep classroom information in one place.

For parents

1. Create or open your parent account. Choose Parent, then sign in with email and password or Google.
2. Connect to your child's teacher. Ask the teacher for a student connection code. In the app, choose Add a student, enter the code, and send the request.
3. Wait for approval. The teacher reviews the request. You can check its status in Parent requests.
4. Stay in touch. After approval, open the teacher conversation to chat, and check Announcements and shared student progress for class updates.

For teachers

1. Create or open your teacher account. Choose Teacher, then sign in with email and password or Google.
2. Add a student record. Choose Add a student and enter the student's name, grade, and section. You can also import a supported roster spreadsheet.
3. Share the connection code. Give the student's parent the one-use code so they can submit a connection request.
4. Review parent requests. Open Parent requests from the navigation menu or Requests tab, then approve or reject each request.
5. Communicate with connected families. Manage student records, post announcements, share progress, and use the parent conversation for private messages.

Settings and your profile

• Update your profile. Edit your name and profile details. Teachers can add optional school, teaching role, and subject information. Profile photos and backgrounds selected in the app are stored on your device.
• Change the appearance. In Profile settings, choose System, Light, or Dark theme and select a Teal, Ocean, Violet, or Rose accent color.
• Choose whether to show active status. Turn off Show my active status to hide your activity; you will also stop seeing other users' activity indicators.
• Check chat alerts. Open In-app chat alerts in Profile to review recent alerts. These are in-app alerts, not Android push notifications.
• Find help and support. Profile includes the walkthrough, Send feedback, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, contact support, account deletion request, and the Play Store rating link.

Privacy and security

• Optional app PIN and recovery. In Profile > Privacy & security, turn on App PIN lock and set a six-digit PIN. Save the one-time recovery code shown during setup. If you forget the PIN, choose Forgot PIN? on the lock screen, enter the code, and set a replacement PIN and code. It is stored securely on the device; it does not use Firebase or email. Read the PIN and account recovery guide.
• Use account access carefully. Keep your sign-in credentials private and share student connection codes only with the intended parent or guardian.
• Use only information you are authorized to enter. ClassConnect accounts are for parents and teachers. Students are represented by class records and do not sign in.
• Understand support requests. Send feedback opens a draft in your email app for you to send. Request account deletion submits a request for human review; it does not delete the account immediately.
• Report a message in the app. A report is saved for in-app review; it does not directly send an email.

Keep your account safe

• Only share a connection code with the student's parent or guardian.
• Enter student information only when you are authorized to do so.
• Use the in-app report or block controls if a conversation raises a concern.
• Do not use ClassConnect for emergencies or as the only copy of important school records.

ClassConnect is designed for private parent-teacher communication. Students are represented by class records and do not sign in to the app.
