Before You Start
You'll need a Kira teacher account. If your school uses Clever, ClassLink, or an LMS, your classes may sync automatically — see Logging In and Syncing Your Classes before continuing.
Where to Find Your Classes
Open Kira and look for Classes in the left sidebar. This is your home base for managing rosters, viewing enrolled students, and accessing content by class.
Step 1: Create a Class
Click Classes in the left sidebar.
Click Create Class.
Enter a class name (for example: Period 2 – 8th Grade ELA or Block B Science).
Click Confirm.
Your new class will appear in your Classes list.
Already using Clever or ClassLink? Your classes may sync automatically. Check [Logging In and Syncing Your Classes] to see if this applies to you.
Step 2: Invite Students
You have three ways to add students to your class. Choose the method that works best for your setup.
Option 1: Email Invite
Best for adding individual students or small groups.
Open your class.
Click Invite Students.
Enter student email addresses.
Click Send Invites.
Students will receive an email with a link to join your class.
Option 2: Share a Link
Best for large groups. Paste the link into Google Classroom, Teams, or wherever your students get announcements.
Open your class.
Click Invite Students.
Select Copy Link.
Share the link with your students.
Option 3: Invite Code
An alternative if email or link sharing isn't an option.
Open your class.
Click Invite Students.
Share the Invite Code displayed on screen with your students.
Students enter the code when they sign in to Kira.
⚠️ Important: ClassLink Schools
If your school uses ClassLink, students must log in through ClassLink — not through a direct invite link or invite code. Using a direct link can create duplicate accounts, which will need to be resolved by your school administrator.
When in doubt, have students sign in at your school's ClassLink portal first.
What to Expect After Inviting Students
Partial records appear right away. You'll see students added to your roster as soon as they're invited.
Full profiles fill in after sign-up. Name, grade, and other details will appear once students complete their account setup.
Students with existing Kira accounts won't need to sign up again. Your new class will appear automatically on their Kira dashboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
A student says they can't find my class. What should they check?
Ask them to sign in and look at their Kira dashboard. If the class isn't visible, confirm they used the correct invite link or code — and that they signed in with the same account they used to join.
Can I have more than one section in Kira?
Yes. Repeat the steps above to create additional classes (for example, one per period or block).
Can I remove a student from my class?
Yes. Open your class roster, find the student, and select Remove.
