Wilma – contact between home and school

The Wilma application provides you with information on your child's education and schooldays. You can contact teachers and the principal directly through Wilma. Pupils also use Wilma to monitor their own studies.

Creating a Wilma account by using Suomi.fi identification 

You can create a Wilma user account by using Suomi.fi identification, whereby your guardian information is retrieved via the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. If you already have a Wilma account, you can add your child who is starting school to it.

To create an account, you need a working email address and Finnish online banking credentials or a mobile certificate. If you are unable to create an account with these instructions, contact the school secretary of your child’s school.

When creating a Wilma account, use a web browser, not the Wilma mobile app.

Below are instructions for two different scenarios:
