How do you add your teachers to your school's profile to ensure they can participate in this event?
First, be sure that we have YOUR correct information as the primary contact for your school! Email admin@georgiachildcare.org if your management team has had any changes.
Then add your teachers using only their names and e-mail addresses-they can update their profiles on their own! Either you or they can register for this or any teacher training in the future. Maintain your school's list of teachers by adding/removing teachers regularly (monthly or quarterly at the minimum).
