How to Find and Add Your School

How to Find and Add Your School

Once you have installed the d6 app and logged in, you need to add your child's school to start receiving their news and updates.

Settings → Manage Communities → Search → Select school → Done

How do I add a school to my app?

  1. Open the d6 app and tap on the Settings tab near the bottom-right of the screen.

  2. Tap on Manage Communities.

  3. Search for your school's name in the search bar.

  4. Tap on the school name so that a check mark appears next to it.

  5. Tap Done or the back arrow to save your selection.

Tip: If you have children at multiple schools, you can add more than one school and switch between them in the app.

What if I cannot find my school?

If your school does not appear in the search results, it may not yet be using d6, or it may be registered under a slightly different name. Try searching for part of the school name, or contact your school to confirm they use d6.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add more than one school to my app?

Yes, you can add multiple schools. Go to Settings > Manage Communities and select all the schools you need.

How do I remove a school I no longer need?

Go to Settings > Manage Communities, find the school, and tap on it to remove the check mark. The school will be removed from your news feed.

My school shows a lock icon. What does this mean?

A lock icon means the school is invite-only. The school needs to have your details on their system before you can access their content. Contact your school to ensure they have your correct phone number or email.
