You can deactivate or unlink a family account if the parent/guardian should no longer have access to the student's work in Xello. If there are multiple students linked to one parent/guardian, each student will need to be unlinked to deactivate the account.
This does not delete the parent/guardian account, but does keep the parent/guardian from viewing the student's work. Their accounts can be linked again later if necessary.
Note: Only those with administrator or user level access can create or make these changes. To learn more about educator access and permissions, read the article on Educator Permissions.
