Linking Multiple Accounts in Connect Linking Multiple Accounts in Connect

If you wear more than one hat on SchoolStatus Connect, such as being a staff member and guardian, or a parent to several children, or a guardian of students in different districts, you may end up with multiple accounts. Linking accounts keeps your profiles and communications separate, but lets you switch between them instantly, no need to log out and back in.


When You Might Need to Link Accounts

You should link your accounts if:

  • You’re a staff member + guardian, but your staff view doesn’t show your student.
  • You’re a guardian with multiple children (including children from different districts), but you only see one student in Connect. You received an invite or login for a second role and want everything combined.

In both cases, you’re likely using separate accounts for each role/student. Linking them connects the dots.

7. For added security, if the account you're linking also has a second contact method, you'll need to enter a separate verification code for that one as well.


8. Review the account details and click Link Accounts.
