The only thing I would add is that when you invite the parents, parents
first have to create their profile - once they create their profile, system
will send them an email, which will verify the email and allow the parent
to generate the password.

Once they generate the password successfully, then they can add their
"students" and their demographic details.

I stumbled on that because I thought the the original profile was for
students, so I thought I will send a word of caution
