Add Family Members to Student Profiles

It's not required to connect parent contact information to each student, but if you are going to share information with families, you will want to add their contact information. From a student's profile, simply select "Add Family" and enter the required information (full name, email and/or phone number, and home language).

Family members can be set to receive emails or text messages but the default method of communication will be via email. If you would like the default method of communication to be text messages, select the SMS toggle "On."
Please note that once a family member has been added, they will start receiving anything that the teachers send to them. You may want to wait to add in family contact information until you've had time to plan how you want to communicate with your community using Storyboards, Moments, and Messaging!
 

Edit Family Profiles

Family profiles can be edited at any time by clicking on the profile under "Family." Once you have made the necessary changes, select save. If you are making edits and receive an error message, please reach out to us at help@kaymbu.com as it is possible that the family's profile needs to be reset. 

Customize Family Home Language(s)

Families have the option of receiving your messages in various languages! This includes Moments, Digests, Storyboards, Messages, and Family Reports. Families will receive your original message with a link at the top asking if they would like to translate the content into the language connected to their profile. If they choose to translate a particular message, they will click on the link to automatically translate everything! To learn more about what families see when you share information with them, click here. 

Each family profile can be set up with their own language preferences through the Roster. Follow these easy steps to update language preferences for an individual family profile:

 
1. Click into a student's profile. 
2. Select the appropriate family contact.
3. Choose the new language and select Save!
