The Photos feature allows teachers and administrators to upload and organize photos into albums that can be shared with individual families, specific classrooms, or the entire school. This is a great way to keep parents connected to their child’s experiences.
Creating a New Photo Album
To create a new photo album:
-
Navigate to the Photos page from the left-side navigation panel.
-
Click the Create Album button in the upper-right corner.
-
In the pop-up window, enter the following details:
-
Title: Use a descriptive title such as a student’s name, classroom name, or event name.
-
Description (optional): Add additional context about the album if needed.
-
-
Select Album Viewers:
-
To create a private, individual album for a child, select that child’s name. This ensures only their parents (along with teachers and administrators) can view the album.
-
To create a shared album for a classroom or entire school, choose the relevant class or school group from the viewer list.
-
Once your settings are complete, click Create.
Uploading Photos
You can upload images in two ways:
-
Click Upload Photo and choose photos from your computer or device.
-
If you’re on a mobile device, you can also take a new photo directly using your camera and upload it instantly.
Photos will begin uploading immediately and appear in the selected album once complete.
Managing Albums and Photos
-
All your albums will appear on the main Photos page, sorted alphabetically, but you can edit the sort view using the Sort button in the upper right corner.
-
Click into any album to view or manage its contents.
-
You can add titles and captions to individual photos to provide context or celebrate a moment.

Example: “Happy Birthday Cassidy! Wishing you another beautiful trip around the sun.”
