For Counselors: Using the Parent Roster

The Parent Roster in Scoir provides counselors with a streamlined way to manage and track parents associated with students. This guide will walk you through the key functions of the Parent Roster, including how to add and invite parents, filter the roster, and view student associations, ensuring you have full control over managing parent information.

Adding parents

You can add parents directly from the parent roster or a student's profile. We'll walkthrough both options below.

If you prefer to add parents to student records in bulk, check out this article: Bulk Add/Update Parent Data.

From the Parent Roster

  1. Go to Students > Parents
  2. Click +Add Parent
Adding a parent from the parent roster
  1. Enter the parent's information, ensuring the email is unique and not already used by another parent in your school
  2. Click Save if you're not ready to send an invite yet, or Invite to send the invitation immediately
Please note: Only parents linked to the high school in Scoir will receive surveys and email communications created by the high school in Scoir. Check if the parent is marked as Registered in Scoir on the Counselor Portal. If not, they're not linked to your school and need to be invited. Any status other than Registered indicates the parent is not linked to the school.

From a student's profile:

  1. Navigate to a student's profile
  2. In the Personal Details section, locate the "Parents" section and click +Invite a Parent
Invite parent from student profile
  1. In the dialog box, search for the parent's name if they are already in Scoir to connect them to the student. Otherwise, click Add a New Parent
  2. Enter the parent's information. Note: The parent email must be unique and cannot be used by another parent in your school
  3. Click Save if you're not ready to send an invite yet, or Invite to send the invitation immediately

Adding, removing, and reordering columns

Pinning columns

Pin columns to keep them visible and locked, ensuring key information remains in view while you scroll horizontally. See instruction on how to pin columns here.

Filtering parents in the roster

The Parent Roster can be filtered to help you manage parent information efficiently

  1. Access the Parent Roster by navigating to Students > Parents
  2. Click on Filters to view available options
  3. Use the filters to refine your search by Class Years, Registration Status, Roster Status, Last Login, and Students
What does the "Roster Status" filter show?
The Roster Status filter gives you two options: Rostered and Pending.

When filtering by 'Rostered', you’ll see parents/guardians who have been added to the Parent Roster by a counselor or sent an invite to link to the high school after a pending review of a student invite.

The 'Pending' filter shows parents/guardians who have been invited to Scoir, but are not yet linked to the high school. Counselors can choose to send an invite to invite them to the high school, or ignore.

Exporting parent roster data

To download a copy of your Parent Roster data:

  1. Go to Students > Parents to access the parent roster
  2. Click Export to download a CSV file that contains all columns from the Parent Roster

The exported file includes Student IDs, allowing you to easily re-import parent information if needed.

Viewing students associated with parents

The Children column in the Parent Roster displays the names of students associated with each parent. Clicking on a student's name will take you directly to their profile in Scoir. If a parent has multiple children, their avatars will be displayed instead of their full names.

You can also filter the Parent Roster by Class Year to view only the students within specific class year ranges.
