Complete Setup
Suggested text for your newsletter to let families know how to setup their myKindo account
Kindo and our school Student Management System talk to each other, so it's important that you check your child(ren) are linked. This means details like classroom changes will flow through automatically as well as any payment information. If you see a pop-up message 'We have detected one or more students that are not linked' you will need to follow the prompts to link your child(ren). Please ensure you use the same email address that we have on our system.
