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 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 have view only access into your child's classes and can stay up to date with their work.
You will also have view only access into your child's Portfolio where teacher's may elect to add certain assignment submissions.
✍️ Please note that Parent Access must be enabled by the teacher in Showbie for you to have access to a class. Your child's portfolio will always be visible.
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 child'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.
Adding an Additional Parent
As a parent, you can always add additional parents in Showbie so that they have the same view only access into your child's account. Here's how:
Select your child from the student list
Click their Profile
Select 'Add Another Parent'
Removing a Child
As a parent, here’s how you can remove a child from your list if you need to:
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 only available with Showbie Pro. If you're using the free version of Showbie, this option won't be available.
