Features

At School Apps we aim to share many aspects of student's performance with parents and carers online. We want to open up communication lines between the school and parents and make checking their children's progress as easy as checking Facebook.

    • Summary Emails

      At the end of each week Connect automatically sends parents and carers an e-mail detailing the homework tasks set, rewards received, detentions set, school news, information on their children’s after school clubs, and any behaviour issues. The features contained in the summary e-mail are customisable to your school.

      In addition to this staff with certain responsibilities receive an e-mail detailing the behaviour issues that occurred in their department, registration group, house, or year group.

    • Translation

      Connect currently supports 71 languages through its translation feature, particularly aimed at EAL students and parents who may experience barriers to understanding. Using this service designed by Google™, Connect aims to break down these barriers, allowing navigation of the system in a native language and insight into content that may otherwise have been unattainable.

  • What Teachers Say

    I like the daily summary email so I know how my tutor group are behaving. It means I can have a quick chat before things escalate, or let my community leader know so she can have a chat with persistent offenders.

  • What Parents Say

    I used the Connect application to book my teacher consultations. I am impressed with the Connect software - a nice user experience. Moreover my son was very happy not to have to make the bookings! Thank you for automating and simplifying this process.

  • What Teachers Say

    It’s great for students to have a fully detailed account of their homework to access from home. I love the way you can attach the worksheets for the students to look at from home.

  • What Parents Say

    I would just like to say what a fantastic idea this email notification system is.

    I was already really pleased that the homework site had been personalised, which made checking up on due in homework a painless task, but the weekly email is even better!
