A staff member on your SchoolFront Platform is any individual that has access to the district's platform, regardless of employment within the district. For example, SchoolFront team members and BOCES employees would be classified as "Staff". SchoolFront allows you to add users to the application in many different ways for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes it is necessary to manually add a user for Testing, 3rd Party Auditing, Legal, etc. Please follow the steps below to learn how to manually add a staff member to SchoolFront.
