Creating Your Account and Adding Your Child
How to register, find your school, and add a child to your account.
Where to find this: Homepage → Join Free (top right). Once signed in, your child goes under Account.
This walks through creating your account and, if you want to, adding a child to it.
Part 1: Create your account
- Click Join Free in the top-right corner of any page.
- Enter your name, email address, and a password.
- Check your email for a confirmation link and click it — this verifies your address and activates your account.
- You're signed in automatically after confirming.

Part 2: Find and follow your school
- From the homepage, search for your school by name in the search box.

Part 3: Add your child (optional)
- Go to Account, then find the section for your children/family.
- Click Add Child.
- Enter a first name, and either a last name or just a last initial — a full legal name is never required.
- Choose the school and grade, then save.
