For parents, pupils and teachers. You will join your child’s school as a parent, with the commitment key the school gave you.

> **Note:** Sign in with the account your school linked to your child to follow these steps.

## Step by step

### 1. The school’s address

Go to your school’s own address, and sign in with your HTT account. Because you are not in the school yet, you are asked to join it.

*Step 1: The school’s address*

### 2. Who you are

Under I am a, choose Parent. Teachers and pupils join the same way.

### 6. Waiting

Your request is now with the school. They see who you are and the child you named, and approve you — then you can see your child’s fees, results and notices. Until then, this is what you see when you sign in.
