Claiming a school

For teachers· 1 min read

How to link your teacher account to a verified school in the Keybaki registry. Required for some KICD-aligned features.

Claiming a school links your teacher account to a school in Keybaki's registry. Once verified by an admin, you appear in the school's verified-teacher list and gain access to school-scoped features (class enrolment exports, school-level CEA reports).

When to claim

You're a full-time teacher at the school.
You've been hired (claims while you're still applying will be rejected).
Your name is on the school's HR list (admin verifies against this).

Steps

Profile → School affiliation card.
On the Your school card, tap Pick your school (or Transfer to a different school if one is already set).
Use the school picker to find your school. Type the name; the picker autocompletes against the KICD school registry (~24,000 schools).
If your school isn't in the picker: Add my school is offered during first-time setup only. After onboarding, email hello@keybaki.com and we'll add it.
Submit claim.

The claim is pending until an admin approves it. The card shows an amber pill — "Transfer to [school] awaiting approval · an admin will review and confirm".

What admin sees

Admin runs Admin → Schools → Verification queue. For each pending claim:

Your name + phone + display name.
The school you claimed.
A "Verify with school HR" note if there's an HR contact on record.
Approve / Reject buttons.

After approval

Your Profile card flips to "Verified at [School name]".
You appear in the school's verified teachers list.
School-scoped features unlock.

Common issues

Claim rejected. Admin's note appears in your notification feed. Common reasons: name mismatch with HR, school's HR couldn't confirm. Email hello@keybaki.com to discuss.
Want to claim a different school. Use Transfer schools, not a new claim. See Transferring schools.
