I can't add or remove the link to my Child's School
The link to your Child's School varies by School and location.
- Existing Family Zone members with a Child in an Australian or New Zealand School:
Use a web browser to access the Portal on a computer, phone or tablet to add or remove links to schools.
Opt-in to the School Community in the iOS app
Opt-in to the School Community in the Android App - I skipped the invitation to link to my Child's School web history.
Or, I was an existing customer before my Child's School offered the web history.
Contact your School IT with the email address you use in Family Zone, your Child's name, and birthday. Your School manages the account linking the School data to Family Zone.
