Severe threats are often time-sensitive, which is why we recommend that an alternate reviewer (like a principal or school psychologist) is added for each school or district. Reviewers will get emails in case of severe and imminent alerts.
The Bark Super Admin for your school or district can invite, edit, or remove Reviewers.
Inviting Reviewers
STEP 1: Log in as the Bark for Schools super admin.
STEP 2: Navigate to the top right drop-down menu 🔽 and select Reviewers.
STEP 3: Invite, edit, or remove a Reviewer.
If you invite a Reviewer, you'll need to input the following to send an invite:
- Email Address
- Emergency Contact Number
- Role
-
Groups/organizational units assigned
- To assign all groups, ensure Access to all organizational units? is On.
- To assign specific groups, ensure Access all organizational units? is toggled Off and now you can type in the applicable groups.
NOTE: Assigning a user the top-level organizational unit/group will not automatically assign them the sub-groups, meaning you will need to individually select or type in each sub-group you'd like to assign to the Reviewer.
-
Super Admin Permission
NOTE: Super admin permissions will allow the reviewer full access to all settings.
STEP 4: Once the invite is sent, the Reviewer will receive an email with a link to activate their account.
Reviewers are able to access Bark via bark.us/schools with their school issued account — no additional username or password needed.
Editing Reviewers
Once the Reviewer has accepted the invite, their information will appear at the bottom of the page. You will be able to either Delete or Edit each user as the Bark Super Admin.
Editing the Reviewer allows you to adjust their role, the groups they review, and their Super Admin permissions as seen in the image below.
Bark for Schools+
Schools or districts that have purchased the premium Bark for Schools+ service will notice that inviting a Reviewer has more options than the free product. They are able to specify which types of alerts Reviewers get, as well as whether they are an emergency phone contact for urgent alerts.

At the bottom of the Reviewers page, they'll also be able to specify the Emergency Call priority when clicking Manage emergency priority, seen below:
Selecting that option will show something like this where you can click and drag the Reviewers into the order of priority that works best for your use-case:
