At the end of the registration process, parents will see the Student-Parent portal.  - **For parents with multiple children in different classes/grade levels:** You will receive invitations to each class. Go through the registration process explained above for the first email invitation. Do not log out of the portal after the registration is complete. Go back to your email and accept each subsequent invitation. This will link all your children’s classrooms under one student-parent account. There will be a dropdown menu in the portal to toggle between grade levels.   - **For parents with multiple children in the same class:** see “special circumstances” below.  - **To enter the portal after initial registration is complete:** Go to the Word of Life Support Page (https://support.wordoflifeseries.org/) and click ***Go to Word of Life Portal*** in the upper right corner. This is how you will login every time. Do not go back to the original email invitation.   - **Set up a password:** You will be prompted to enter a **new**6-digit code each time you log into the portal **unless you choose to set up a password**. To set up a password, click on your name in the upper right, and select ***Change Password.*** A short video tutorial titled *Creating a Password* can be found on our [*video tutorials page*](https://support.wordoflifeseries.org/tutorial-training-videos?hsLang=en).   **Step 3 (only for special circumstances): Create Student Account(s)**  There are two scenarios where we encourage the creation of student accounts to help avoid mix ups and confusion, ***especially if you want to track individual student progress***.
