Shared Accounts (Co-parents)
Invite a co-parent or family member to share your students, activities, goals, and reports.
Last updated May 14, 2026
Homeschooling is usually a two-parent job, even when one parent does most of the logging. Shared accounts let you invite a co-parent or family member into your account so you both see the same students, activities, goals, and reports.
How it works
- Your account stays the owner account. Anyone you invite becomes a member of your account — they don't get a duplicate copy of your data.
- Members sign in with their own email and password, but see your students and activities when they log in.
- You can invite up to 2 members per account.
Access levels
When you invite someone, choose one of two roles:
- Full access — they can add, edit, and delete students, activities, subjects, and goals; generate reports; and chat with Kit. Best for a spouse who shares the teaching load.
- View-only — they can see everything but can't make changes. Best for a grandparent, tutor, or evaluator you want to keep in the loop.
You can change the role or remove a member at any time.
Inviting someone
- Go to Settings → Shared accounts
- Enter the person's email and pick an access level
- Click Send invitation
They'll get an email with a one-click acceptance link. Once they accept, the invitation moves from Pending to Active members.
What members see when they sign in
When a member signs in, Homeschool Fox shows them your account by default — your students show up in the sidebar, your activities show on the calendar, and reports run against your data.
If a member also has their own students on their own account, they can switch between accounts from the user menu.
Revoking access
To remove a member:
- Go to Settings → Shared accounts
- Find them in Active members
- Click Remove
They'll lose access immediately. Their own login still works; they just won't see your account anymore.
Leaving a shared account
If you've been added to someone else's account and want out:
- Go to Settings → Shared accounts
- Click Leave shared account
You keep your own login and any data on your own account.
Sharing individual chats and reports
Shared accounts are the right tool for ongoing collaboration. For one-off sharing — like sending a specific Kit conversation to your spouse or a report to an evaluator — see:
