Quick guide to setting up Classlist for your school

Well done if you are the new Ambassador or Staff Admin+ for your school's Classlist site! If you are wondering about what the 2018 GDPR (data protection) legislation means for your PTA using Classlist, click here. 

I've registered my school: now what?

Ambassadors or Staff Admin+ users who have just registered might be wondering "What should I do now?". Here are our top suggestions for instant impact, using the green Admin Mode of your account:

• Decide if you will be syncing your MIS Data or not. 
• Finish building your school's year and class structure. It's best to have it ready before parents start joining (MIS Data sync will do this part for you if you choose that option).
• Personalise your school's profile page with a school photo, logo and welcome message.
• Start by inviting PTA members, class reps or parent friends and assign admin status to key people on your team.
• Provide training for the wider PTA and class rep group, they can either watch our video or attend a live demo.
• Then invite parents to join
• Get PTA members and class reps to practise what they have learned in training by creating content, such as a welcome coffee event, or an announcement to their class. The more comfortable the PTA and class reps are with adding events, announcements, posts etc the more successful your site will be!

If you are the first person to register your school for an account with Classlist you will automatically become the lead Ambassador (ie administrator) or Staff Admin+ user for your school's site. You don't have to be Chair of the PTA to do this, just be enthusiastic and keen to get other parents interested.
