Kiddom’s Admin portal, called Academy, gives you the ability to add new users, see who’s using Kiddom, and reports of teacher and student progress.
Kiddom for Admins
Rostering Students and Staff
As an administrator, you have the capability to roster your teachers and students through Kiddom’s Academy page (academy.kiddom.co). Here is a video that walks through the process, but this can be completed following the steps outlined in this guide.
Information Needed to Roster Students and Staff:
In order to roster students and teachers, make a copy of this spreadsheet and fill out the Teacher, Admin, and Student tabs. If students do not have email addresses, just fill out the name columns. Download a CSV version of each tab.
Rostering Users on Kiddom Academy:
Signing into academy.kiddom.co:
Step 1:
Sign in to your Kiddom account. The first time you log in, you will be asked to create a class. You can skip this step for now. Once you are logged in, you will see your Kiddom homepage.
Step 2:
In the address bar, type academy.kiddom.co to access your Kiddom admin portal. Press enter to visit this page. This is where you can roster staff and view school-wide data.
Step 3:
This will take you to your district’s academy page. All of your schools registered with Kiddom will be listed here. Click on the school you want to roster.
Step 4:
Then click Setup. This will allow you to begin rostering your students and staff. This will only have to be completed once.
Step 5:
Within Setup, accounts are divided into STAFF (teachers/admins) or STUDENTS. Ensure that you are adding to the correct category (you will notice that the section you are adding to is underlined in green).
Rostering Students with Email Addresses:
Step 1:
Drag & Drop or upload student CSV within the Students section.
Rostering Students that do not have email accounts

Step 2:
To generate the randomized passwords, click the blue checkbox next to Name. This will select all students on the page. Then, click the box next to “Generate new randomized passwords for these accounts.” This will occur on your next download — one step left!
Step 3:

We Rostered! Now what?
We feel that schools should have the option to control how users are accessing their accounts. In order to accommodate the various technology setups that district administrators facilitate, here is a breakdown of how teachers and students can access Kiddom once rostered. Please use the route that makes the most sense for your end-users.
