Registering as Essential Staff
Please review the information below to learn how to register as Essential Staff.
My “role” or “job title” is not available during registration
If your role or job title is not available during the above registration process, here is some information to help you determine the right role to select during registration (and which course to take once you have access).
At the moment, the list of courses below is what we currently have available. The course will be based on how you interact with students on a daily basis. It will show you how to identify a child who may be experiencing homelessness based on those daily interactions. If your role is not available when creating your account, please choose the course that is the closest to your role.
Here are a few examples that may help:
Administration: Principals, Superintendents, School Leaders, School Boards

I can’t find my school when I try to register
If you are attempting to register and are unable to find your county/district/school, we can help!
There are a few reasons this can happen:
1. Your school is new and needs to be added to our system (Liaisons or Course Facilitators must contact us to add an option to the system) If you are facilitating the course for your school/district, and you’ve already had a launch meeting, Click Here to Submit a Ticket to the Launch Department
2. Your district is under a different county or your school is under a different district. If you aren’t sure where you need to register, the best person to contact would be your Liaison or Course Facilitator.
3. Your county/district/school has not yet launched the training yet. If this is the case, please contact your liaison or course facilitator to know when your training will be ready.
4. If you are a Liaison or Administrator looking to purchase our training for your organization, you can Click Here to Learn More
My email address is not accepted during registration
When creating an account on our site, you may receive an error that says, “Email is Invalid”
This will occur if you either are using an email address that is not a school email (like gmail, yahoo, etc) OR because we just don’t have your school/district email domain in our system.
This is an easy fix! If you don’t have a school/district email address yet, or if we just don’t have your email domain in our system, we can create an account for you manually.
In order to create your account, please submit a ticket to our support team.
I’m a substitute teacher and don’t have a school email address.
