How to Add Individuals to a Group

This article will show you how to add individuals to your group in ParentSquare.

 Instructions

1. From Home, click Groups in the left sidebar under Participate.

2. Find the group you want and use your mouse to hover over the group title. Then, click the gear icon (Manage) to access the group's settings.

3. From the Edit Group page, add members by using any combination of the 4 main add options: 

   1. Add members by selecting students - Search by student name or grade level. Enter the grade or student name in the Search box and click the box next to the student you want to select. Selecting students will add all associated parents to the group. 

   2. Add members by name or role - Search for parent or staff names. Click the box next to the parent or staff name to select them for the group. Click Show selected rows only to see all those selected. 

   3. Enter external users - Invite Guests/External Users (add members as Guests if they are not already ParentSquare users and are not parents/staff at the school). Enter the new user's full name, email address, and/or phone number. NOTE: Guests are only able to see posts to groups they are a part of; they will not be able to see other posts from the school.

   4. Add members by uploading CSV - Create a CSV file with a single column of student SIS IDs or staff IDs. Click Upload Student CSV file. Choose the CSV file with a single column of student SIS IDs and upload the file. You can also upload multiple external users using a CSV file containing the users' names and emails.

4. Click Save at the bottom to save all selections and new additions.
