KINVO

Teachers who would like to send reminders to parents can use KINVO (product of PowerSchool). The website is linked in Clever. The best thing about KINVO being a part of PowerSchool is that all of your classes are rostered. This makes it so easy to send messages out. You also have the option to create your own message groups. 


High School/Coaches/Clubs

PowerSchool currently stores parent phone numbers for students. This means that if you would like to send a message to your students directly, you will need to create a message group with the student phone numbers. It seems that you can even upload a list if you already have those numbers on a spreadsheet. We are currently working with KINVO to resolve these extra steps.


First time accessing KINVO?

Go to kinvo.kinvolved.com OR click on the KINVO app in Clever 

The next step is to type in your email address (please ignore the Clever Instant Login option since we are rostering directly from PowerSchool).
