Providers: Add a Teacher
It's important to assign a teacher for your courses so that they can receive email notifications such as class summaries with their student roster as well as attendance emails with links to check-in and check-out students. You can add a teacher while you're working on a course request or edit the course later to add or update a teacher.
1. Open or edit a course request:
- After you have logged into your Homeroom account, Click on the Homeroom logo in the Left hand corner
- Click on the Courses tab on the left hand tool bar
- If a teacher has not yet been assigned the teacher column will have "TBD"
- Click on the course name to edit
If it's a course you've already set up, click on the Edit icon and select Edit Course
2. Add a teacher
Click in the Teacher field and select a teacher from the drop-down or you can create and add a new teacher. To create a new teacher, enter their name and click "Add." A screen will prompt you to complete the teacher's contact information.
3. Teacher Contact Information
Add the teacher's name and email address. Phone is optional but we recommend adding this so that teachers can get SMS text messages with a quick link to their attendance page.
When you provide your teachers' contact information, only the school can see this information. This will allow the organizers or volunteers on site to contact them in the case of an emergency. It will not be visible to parents.
Editing Teacher information
You can edit or add additional teacher information by clicking the Teacher icon on the left side. Then click the " Add a Teacher" button on the top right or click an existing teacher's name to edit their information. Teachers listed in the section will populate the teacher drop-down list when working on a course request.
