Teacher school access

Teachers who are not yet assigned to a school can request access. Principals and co-principals receive notifications and can accept or decline.

This is a private system: no user or school data is shared with third parties; backups and infrastructure use current, highly secure standards.

How it works

Teacher (no school): Logs in, goes to Admin → Schools. Sees "Request access to a school" and a list of approved schools. Clicks "Request access" on a school.
System: Creates a pending access request and sends an email and in-app notification to every principal and co-principal of that school.
Principal or co-principal: Sees the notification and email. Goes to Admin → Access requests. Sees pending request(s) with teacher name, school, and date.
Accept: Clicks Accept → The teacher is assigned to the school and their role is set to teacher. The request is marked accepted.
Decline: Clicks Decline → The request is marked rejected. The teacher can request again later if desired.

Only users with the teacher role can submit a request.
Teachers who already have a school assigned cannot request (they are already assigned).
Only approved schools appear in the list when requesting access.
One pending request per teacher per school; duplicate pending requests are prevented.
Only principals and co-principals of the school (or site admins) can accept or decline.

Teachers: "Schools" in the admin sidebar to open the schools index and request access when you have no school.
Principals and co-principals: "Access requests" in the admin sidebar to review and accept or decline requests for your school.
Site admins: "Access requests" shows all pending requests across schools.
