Access Your Account

There are two ways districts can provide guardians with SchooLinks access. Reach out to your student's counselor or district admin to find out which of the following methods should be followed:

Synced Guardian Emails

If your district synced your guardian email with SchooLinks, you can access your guardian account by going to app.schoolinks.com or clicking the button below:

https://app.schoolinks.com/

  • If you have a Google or LinkedIn email on file with the district, click Log in with Google or Log in with LinkedIn on the right-hand side of the login page, then select your connected Gmail account.

  • If you do not have a Google email on file with the district, click Forgot password below the login button. Enter in the email on file with the district and click Reset password.

  • Then enter the email on file with the district, then click Reset password.

  • An email will be sent to create a SchooLinks password. Follow the instructions to create your password, then return to the login page and log in via email and password.

Student Claim Codes

To create a Guardian account using a Claim Code, you will need either:

  • Your student's 6-digit alphanumeric claim code (often shared by the counselor)

  • Your student's unique claim code link that contains a 6-digit alphanumeric code at the end. (Learn how your student can access this link here)

Example: app.schoolinks.com/onboarding/guardian/######
