How FamilyNet Works
Families subscribe to FamilyNet through an annual FamilyPack.
A FamilyPack provides access for up to eight family members, with each participating family member receiving their own private FamilyNet account.
Families can associate their FamilyPack with a participating school or family-focused organization using that organization's Partner ID.
Each eligible FamilyPack associated with a participating Partner provides a $5 contribution to that organization, including annual renewals.
FamilyNet is now accepting Founding FamilyPack subscriptions across British Columbia.
