School accounts: Managing subscriptions

If you have multiple teachers using Frankenstories at your school, it's easier (and cheaper) to buy subscriptions from a school account, then assign those subscriptions to teachers.

We currently offer 3 subscription options:

  • 30 days (1 month)
  • 90 days (1 term)
  • 365 days (1 year)

You can buy as many subscriptions as you need—there is no minimum or maximum limit.

Subscriptions purchased through a school account become active immediately, and will expire after their duration, regardless of whether they have been assigned, or whether a teacher has other active subscriptions.

Once you have bought one or more subscriptions, you can assign them to teachers. There are a few ways to do this depending on how much control you want to have, and in what order you have done things.

You can bulk assign available subscriptions to any teachers with no active subscriptions (including trial and personal subscriptions) from the subscriptions page.

Just click "Bulk assign subscriptions", select the teachers you want to assign subscriptions to, and we'll do the rest.

Find the "Bulk assign subscriptions" button at the top of the subscriptions view in your school account

Note: We will assign subscriptions in order of the most days remaining.

Any teachers who join with your Frankenstories school code will automatically claim a subscription if there is one available.

For example, if you buy 10 subscriptions and share your school code with 12 teachers, then the first 10 teachers to use that code will be assigned subscriptions, while the last 2 teachers will be listed in the school view but not assigned a subscription. (Though they may still have trial access or personal subscriptions active.)

 

Teachers who are already part of your school can claim an available subscription from their Teacher Panel.

The claim subscription button appears on the teacher panel page when a teacher's current subscription has expired and there is a subscription available in their school

You can assign individual subscriptions to teachers in your school from the subscriptions page. Just click the subscription you want to assign, and the teacher you want to assign it to.

Click on subscriptions listed in your school subscriptions view to assign the subscription to a specific teacher

 

You can also unassign a subscription from a teacher in this view, allowing you to reassign the subscription to another teacher.

Click into a subscription to find the unassign subscription button.
