Every once in a while, when the back to school commercials start to fill my television, I have a flashback of storming through Walmart with my mother—school supply list in hand. Chances are, it was also AT LEAST two days before the first day of classes. We're all leading inherently busy lives, and sometimes, things like taking your procrastinating children school supply shopping can slip through the cracks. But should it really be this difficult? Not with SchoolInfo in your corner.
Making the back to school process easier starts with a mobile app by SchoolInfo. Our products and features, combined with our team of experts, can make even the most tedious back to school planning feel like an absolute breeze. We've put together a comprehensive list of features within an app by SchoolInfo that we feel will be the most beneficial for not only educators, but families and students as well, as you gear up for the Fall semester!
Supply Lists: My mom would have loved this! With your school's app, teachers may quickly and securely upload their individual classroom supply list requirements for families to use in real time on their mobile devices. The best part? Users can automatically see these lists on sites like Amazon and purchase them online! Enjoy the last days of summer by not standing in line at the cash register.
Conversations: Conversations brings together the ease and familiarity of a text message and other popular instant and group messaging platforms. All of this with the administrative oversight and controls that are necessary in today’s digital age. With Conversations, teachers can instantly chat directly with individual students and parents or easily create groups to share class documents, materials and assignments, answer questions, inspire engagement, and more!
COVID-19 Screening: Unfortunately, it seems as though we will still need to take precautions when it comes to screening students and teachers prior to returning to campus. With an app by SchoolInfo, administrators can pre-screen anyone coming to campus to determine if they have or are showing symptoms related to COVID-19, or if they have been in contact with anyone that has or has been exposed to the virus.
CommunityShare!: Keep your school community in the loop on all things back to school this year—all from a mobile device. Those closest to the stories can submit news, pictures, and videos for approval before posting to your app and other channels like social media, your website and voice dial, text and email.
I could go on all day about how many different areas of the app can improve your students' experience this Fall, but I have to leave at least a few things to the imagination! Whatever your back to school situation looks like this year, the biggest thing that we want you to know is that we are here to help. Helping you on your mission for total student success is why we get out of bed every morning. That, and coffee. We will also get out of bed for coffee.
