How Do Families Get Access to Book Taco Family?

Families can’t sign up for Book Taco Family on their own. A parent or guardian gets access when their child’s teacher sends an invitation. Family accounts are free.

How teachers invite families

• In your teacher account, open Students in the left sidebar.
• To invite one family, click Actions next to the student and choose Invite Parent, then enter the parent’s email address.
• To invite every family at once, click Invite All Families in the banner above your class list.
• To give families a printed copy instead, click Parent Letter. The letter includes a QR code.
• Follow each invitation in the Parents tab. From there you can Resend an invitation, Revoke one that is still pending, or Remove a parent who already accepted.

How families accept the invitation

• The parent opens the invitation email, or scans the QR code on the Parent Letter.
• On the invitation page, they enter their name and create a password of at least 6 characters.
• If the parent already has a Book Taco Family account, they enter the password for that account and the new child is added to it.
• After that, the parent logs in at /parent/login.

Good to know

• One family account can follow several children, even when they have different teachers.
• Book Taco Family is already available to every Book Taco teacher, so there is nothing to turn on.
• You don’t need Book Taco Library to use Book Taco Family.

If a parent sees “Invitation Not Found” or “Invitation No Longer Available”: The invitation was revoked or already used. Ask the teacher to send a new one from the Parents tab.
