Link your child to a school or organization

If your child's school, church, sports club, or community center uses Boomeraang, you can link your child to it. When staff scan a found item that belongs to your child, the system already knows how to reach you — so things come home faster.

1. Find the organization​

  1. Go to Family, open your child, and choose Link organization (or Sharing).
  2. Search by the organization's name. You can filter by type — School, Community Center, Sports Center, Church, or Other — and by location.
  3. Select the right organization.

Searching for and linking a school

2. Set what you share​

When you link, you choose the details that help staff match a found item to your child — typically their grade and teacher. You control this on the Sharing screen and can change it anytime.

Your privacy stays protected

Linking shares only what you choose with verified staff at that organization — never with the general public. A stranger who scans a tag still never sees your child's name or your address. See When your tag is scanned.

What linking does (and doesn't) unlock​

  • Free members can search organizations and link their child, and will be notified when their tag is scanned. Browsing the organization's full lost & found inventory is a Pro feature.
  • Pro members can also browse and claim items directly from a linked organization's lost & found. See Free vs Pro.
