5 Reasons Why Creating An App For Your School Makes Sense In 2021

Remember the old slogan from Apple? Back when the iPhone was gaining mainstream popularity, you could hear pretty much everybody saying, "There's an app for that." I'd be willing to bet, that in those days, this was only moderately true. Sure, developers were cranking out apps left and right, but there couldn't have been an app for everything. Fast-forward to today. It's 2021, and these days it seems like there could very well be an app for whatever consumers think they might need. You can download an app to receive a wake up call from a completely random stranger, check out the best times to go to the restroom during a movie, and even translate your baby's cry's. So, if we can do *motions arms around wildly* all of this, then why wouldn't you have an app for your school?

If you've read our blog even once, you probably know by now that we love creating a good list. Seriously, give us a topic, and we'll figure out a way to turn it into a list. So, in a bid to retain the utmost consistency, we've crafted a list of the top five reasons why creating an app for your school in 2021 just makes sense. Enjoy!

5. Easier Access To School Resources: When you create a mobile app for your school, documents, forms, and many other resources are made available on students' and families' phones. This is extremely important, as many families have access to internet at home, but may not have access to a PC or laptop.

4. A Customer Success Team That's An Extension Of Your Staff: A mobile app by SchoolInfo comes with a wealth of features and products. However, our greatest product we offer is our Customer Success Team. They're available to you and your staff to assist in any way they can. Your school's success is their only goal, and we like to think of our team being an integrated part of yours.

3. No More Language Barriers: We live in a beautifully diverse time, and schools are full of students from all walks of life. With a mobile app for your school, you'll never again have to worry that your message won't get to students who are not fluent in english. An app by SchoolInfo can be translated into over 35 different languages.

2. Communication In Real-Time: Gone are the days of sending the message through your local public news stations to inform families that school is cancelled. And no more announcing changes to pep rally's or sporting events over the intercom. Administrators can send instant push notifications to all users with a few simple clicks. You'll be able to guarantee your announcements are seen by your campus.

1. Student & Family Engagement: We sound like a broken record here, but parent and student engagement is the key to student success. It's our entire mission at SchoolInfo, and it's one we believe in. The SchoolInfo digital communication suite is a digital platform aimed at keeping families engaged. Our products give parents and guardians the information they need, when they need it. Our interoperable platform makes it easy for administrators to provide just-in-time and focused messages, all in one place to save time and keep a unifying message. 

I could go on all day about different reasons an app for your school just simply makes sense, but five seemed like enough to get started.
