Events & meetings

School events and parent-teacher meetings, organised in one place.

Announcements parents actually see, events with invitations and guest passes, meetings booked in the app and called in turn, and the duty roster for your staff. All from the same portal, reaching the same parents' phones.

Announcements

Messages parents see, and you can see they saw

Events

Invite the families you choose. Know who is coming.

Events and meetings questions

Do parents need the app to book a meeting?

Booking a slot is done in the app. On a walk-in day, a family without the app is given a number at the gate, and the hall screen calls it like anyone else's.

Can we take bookings instead of a queue?

Yes. When you set up a meeting day you choose booked slots or a walk-in queue, and which teachers take part.

What does the hall screen need?

A TV or monitor with a web browser. You connect it once with a link from the portal, and it opens on the hall screen from then on.

Do teachers need their own phone?

No. Each teacher's screen opens from a link on any tablet or laptop in the room.

Who sees the notes from a meeting?

The office reads them first. Once they are approved, the child's parents see them in the app. Nobody else does.

How do staff find out about their duty?

The office sends each person their duty on WhatsApp with one tap. Opening it counts as seeing it, and the board shows who has.
