Create your first school card
Open your school’s invitation or choose your participating school and classroom. Add the child’s first name and character, review both sides, then verify your adult email and submit. Each enrolled child can receive a free school card. Optional contributions are separate.
Create a free school card See what’s included
Your first confirmed submission creates the card record in your family account. A child does not need their own email address.
Sign in or switch accounts
Use the adult email you used for the card. If you have set a password, choose “Sign in with password.” Otherwise, select “Email me a code,” then enter the latest code from your inbox. Check spam if it hasn’t arrived. The code works once; if it is invalid or expired, select “Resend code” after the countdown. Keep this page open so you return to the card or offer you selected.
After verifying your email, you can choose “Create a password” or “Skip for now.” You can also set or change it in family settings or school settings. Passwords use the same account and never change your school permissions. Children do not need a password.
Forgot your password? Use password recovery, or sign in with an email code. Expired recovery links can be replaced by requesting a new link. We may ask for a fresh verification code before changing a password.
The email shown beside “Sign out” tells you which account is open. Sign out to use another email, especially on a shared device. A family account does not automatically grant school staff access.
Find, edit or finish a card
Open My Cards with the email used to submit. Select “Edit card” while corrections are open. Printing locks and the school’s deadline can close editing. Contact us if the classroom is wrong or a card is already locked.
Unfinished choices are saved in the current tab. “Clear Saved Draft” starts that unfinished draft over. It does not delete an already submitted card. Start a separate free card for each other enrolled child; the discounted gift option is for someone outside the school program.
Our school isn’t participating
The free card program is for children enrolled at participating schools. Please don’t select another school to continue.
Request a place for your school Ask about buying a Christmas card
The $7.50 offer is for families already in the school program, with delivery through their child’s classroom. If someone gave you a printed card, you can connect it without belonging to a participating school.
School or teacher missing?
Check the invitation from your school. Do not select a different school or teacher just to continue. Ask your school to confirm its participating classroom list, or email us with the school and teacher’s name. Do not include a class list or unnecessary child information.
Teachers and school administrators
Joining the school program and creating a staff login are separate steps. A school representative first requests a place for the school. Each staff member then opens the school dashboard, selects “Create a school account,” enters their name, school, role and email, and verifies the email code.
Teachers and PTA staff can be approved by an administrator of their school. Imagia approves school administrators and requests for new or unmatched schools. No private classroom data is available before approval. While approval is pending, return to the dashboard and select “Check access.” If the request is declined or access is removed, contact Imagia to check the school and email. When access is approved, we email you a link to the school dashboard. Sign in with the same verified email. Check spam if the notification has not arrived.
Approved staff can use Sharing kit for the downloadable family flyer and a ready-to-copy message for ParentSquare, email or a school newsletter. No individual child review is required. School administrators can use Staff access to approve or remove teachers and PTA staff within their own school. They cannot approve administrators or access another school. Only the Imagia owner manages school administrator access.
Contributions and discounted cards
A free card is submitted before you choose any contribution. You can choose $3, $5, $10, another amount, or no contribution. If your family has cards at more than one school, choose the school you want to support. Our first 10 Christmas 2026 school partners keep 100% of contributions, excluding refunds. Subsequent schools receive contributions after refunds, processing fees and up to $0.99 per fulfilled free school card. Your school’s terms appear before giving. Card deductions never exceed available contributions; schools never owe a shortfall. Contributions are not tax-deductible.
A discounted gift card costs $7.50, half the regular $15 price, and goes home through the enrolled child’s classroom. Every participating school receives $3.75 from each eligible $7.50 additional card purchase for Christmas 2026; refunds reduce this share. Its payment is separate from enrolled children’s free cards. Complete payment through Shopify.
After checkout, return to My Cards and select “Refresh payment status.” If payment is still pending, wait before retrying. Contact us with your adult email and order reference if you were charged but it has not updated. Never email card numbers.
School delivery and distribution
School staff can find the expected arrival date, receiving contact, available tracking and distribution instructions on Overview. Imagia manages these delivery details. In Classroom cards, choose your filters and select Prepare distribution list, then Print distribution list. The list includes complete student bundles for matching students, including linked cards outside the name or status filter. It is grouped by classroom, with checkboxes for handing them out. Changing filters or refreshing clears the prepared list. Keep printed lists within your authorized school team.
The Sharing kit includes a Copy school link button that opens the personalizer with your school selected. Families receive an email after their card is marked delivered to school; follow your school’s distribution instructions.
Play again, connect a card or recover a lost card
Scan the unique QR on a printed card with a parent or guardian. The adult connects it to their email. Once connected, open My Adventures with that email to return without the printed card. If you have a printed-card link, use Connect a printed card.
If the game cannot start, try a current Chrome, Safari or Edge browser, close other graphics-heavy tabs and reload. Browser graphics support and device settings can affect the game. Contact us with the device and browser name if it still fails. Play on any device with a supported browser. Use the same adult email to find your connected adventures.
