You can send Parent Portal invites with our Clever integration by following this guide. This integration is available for all Bark for Schools+ schools.
Log in to your Bark dashboard as a Super Admin.
On the top right menu, go to Parent Portal > Settings.
Select Clever from the activation methods.
Select Install Bark on Clever:
Log in to your Clever district dashboard.
In Applications, select Add Applications.
Search for the Bark application and select Request App.
Processing note: Invitations may take a few hours to process after upload. If uploaded late in the day, processing may complete the next business morning depending on volume.
After the invite
Parents receive an email invitation with a unique link to create their Parent Portal account.
If they have multiple children, they do not need to create separate Parent Portal accounts. Once they've created an account with the first child, it should automatically add the other children.
If they already have a Bark account under that email address, the student accounts are linked automatically.
If the invitation isn’t completed, reminder emails are sent every Sunday unless they've clicked Unsubscribe at the bottom of the email.
Super Admins can track Parent Portal adoption in Parent Portal Settings and export a report showing which parents have completed account setup.
Reviewers can manually share a student’s alert with a parent, as long as the parent has an active Parent Portal account.
The Reviewer finds the alert in question.
On the top right, click Share with parent.
Don't see this?
The parent may not have accepted their Parent Portal invite, or they may have already been sent the alert.
How to remove the Bark application from Clever
Bark updates the Clever data at regular intervals. However, if you would like for Bark to immediately update the Parent Portal contacts from your school's Clever account, you will first need to remove the Bark application from your Clever account. Here’s how:
Log in to your Clever district dashboard as the Super Admin.
Click on the Bark application name to open the application overview page.
Select the arrow icon on the upper right-hand corner and select Disconnect App.
A dialogue box will pop up and ask you to confirm the deletion > click OK to confirm.
If applicable, follow the steps above to re-add the Bark application to your Clever account so that Bark updates your Parent Portal contacts.
