As a parent or family member, you can create a Family account in Otus and link a student to your account to keep track of their progress. This article provides step-by-step instructions for creating account. For an overview of what is included in a Family account, check out our Getting Started Guide for Family accounts.
💡 Tip: Your student already has an Otus account from the school district. To avoid confusion, it's best to use your own name rather than your student's name when creating the Family account.

When I try to create my account, I get an error message that says "Failed to create account."
Sometimes this error occurs if an Otus account already exists under the email address you entered. Return to https://my.otus.com/login and try typing in your email address and password, or click the "Forgot password" link that appears underneath the email and password fields in order to have a password reset link sent to your email address.
