Pre-approving parents to join by giving them a QR code

QR Code flyer

• Generate your school's personalised QR code flyer with pre-approval code: Parents who scan the QR code with the phone's camera will be guided to download the app.  When they register they will be pre-approved.   This flyer is ideal for handing to new parents in Welcome meetings, and can help get a lot of parents onto Classlist right away without needing to approve them individually.   Schools also email out the QR code to their parent database when they launch.
•  See how to get yours with this 20-second video.  
• Follow this link to get your code: https://app.classlist.com/school/#/invite/add-invite. Click on 'Invite New Parents' and then after you click on 'Use our printable flyer' a pdf file will download.  On some devices this can download quickly and without opening (depending on your settings), therefore please check your downloads folder to find the flyer.
• This is a time-limited code to hand out to parents and it will expire to in 7 days, after which time people who register need approving. **Please note the QR code flyer should not be shared publicly or on your website as it pre-approves members.** 

Inviting using the QR code flyer

You can generate a QR code flyer with your school's name on from the Invite Parents page by clicking on Invite New Parents and 'Use our printable flyer'.

The code is valid for 7 days so don't print it too far in advance of your Welcome meeting!

Please ensure the flyer is only given to parents at or joining your school - do not publish it on the school website or Facebook as it does automatically approved those who join.

The flyer is mainly aimed at schools where you don't have parent details to invite them and don't know them to approve them.  Giving the flyer to new parents means they can join easily.

Parents simply aim their smartphone camera at the QR code.  The App Store or Google Play will open and they can download the Classlist app and they will be taken directly to the registration page for your school.  The App remembers your school via the QR code and the parent will be automatically approved and can start using Classlist right away.

There are lots of other ways to invite parents too, from sending email invitations to inviting via WhatsApp.  See here for more details.
