Creating an Edsby Parent Account
Edsby provides each parent or guardian with their own account using an email address so if there are more than one parent or guardian at home, each parent or guardian will need a separate active email address to create and Edsby account. Remember, this is not simply signing into your child's Edsby account. If you do not have an email account, you will need to set up an email account.
