Got a link from your school?

  • It comes from your district

    Permission slip links are sent by your school district, by text or email.

  • It is just for your family

    Your link is personal to your family. Please don't share it.

  • No account needed

    Open the link, read the cards, and tap your choice. That's it.

  • We never see your student's name

    Kinsent AI only sees a random Kinsent ID. Your school keeps the match to your student.
