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/district can invite, edit, or remove Reviewers.
Inviting Reviewers
- Log in as the Bark for Schools super admin.
- Navigate to the top right drop-down menu and select Reviewers.
-
To invite a Reviewer, you will choose the Invite reviewer button and input the following information to send an invitation to the reviewer:
- 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.
Please 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

- 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 โ 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 under the Reviewers section.
