The best way to stay connected with your child's school journey is by connecting with them on Showbie!
Accessing Your Child’s Work on Showbie with a Parent Account
Here is how to set up a parent account and how to add your student or child:
Request your student or child’s parent code from their teacher or school.
Create a new Showbie parent account.
Use the I'm a Parent option on our sign-up page.
Enter the parent code during the sign-up process.
To add additional students: once signed into your parent account, tap the + button, then enter the additional parent code, and tap Add.
Once you’ve done those steps, you’ll be able to see your child's classes and can stay up to date with their work. Please note that Parent Access must be enabled by the teacher in Showbie for you to have access to a class.
Resolving 'Invalid Parent Code' Errors
If you receive an error message that the code is invalid (and you're sure the code is correct), your account is likely in a different data region than your student's school. Use the following steps to resolve this issue:
Change the email address on your parent account to any other email address — either an alias, placeholder, or other email address you have access to.
Log out of Showbie and create a new parent account (using the I'm a Parent option on our sign-up page).
Type in your student's parent code (as provided by their school or teacher) during the sign-up process. This will create your account in the correct region.
Inviting Another Parent
More than one parent can add a child while using the same parent code.
Showbie allows you as the parent, to email invitations to another parent whom you would like to keep informed on your child’s school work.
Tap on the profile picture of the student you'd like to invite another parent for
Tap Invite Another Parent
Edit the email as much as you would like and send when you’re ready!
Removing Students
As a parent, here’s how you can remove a student from your list:
Tap on the Students tab
Tap on the profile picture of the student you’d like to delete
Tap Remove from List
Please read the message carefully!
Tap Remove
Can't See your Child's Class?
If you are seeing the error image below, it means the teacher has not yet enabled Parent Access. To fix this, please contact the teacher of that class and ask them to enable Parent Access. They are able to do this within their Showbie teacher account.
💡 Parent Access is available with Showbie Pro. If you're using the free version of Showbie, this option won’t appear in your class settings.
