Cialfo Pro Tip
Emails must be unique. If a staff member is also a parent or guardian of a student at your school, that staff member can either use two unique emails (one for each Cialfo role) or you must upload the guardians before uploading staff members. Please reach out via Chat with Cialfo or directly to your Customer Success Manager if you need support with creating dual roles.
