Mobile apps are a game-changer in education communication. Why? Well, there are a lot of reasons, including the obvious: having your message in the palm of your communities hands. But, for fun, we are going to expand on the top 5 reasons you need a branded mobile app in your district!

5. Increase parent and family engagement, leading to student success

Engaging families is one of the biggest challenges many educators face, especially because we know parent involvement and engagement are vital to student success. With an app, it's easier to take all aspects of parent and family engagement digital. Connect with your community by sharing the information they need, when they need it with an app. 

4. Reduce communication challenges with translation and accessibility functionality

The inability to understand communication is one of the largest barriers to getting your message out. With a branded mobile app from SchoolInfo, users are able to take advantage of the native translation and accessibility tools within their phone to make sure your app suits their communication needs. 


3. Build your educational brand as one that values modern communication

When looking to increase enrollment at your school, your brand matters. In the era of school choice, a well-designed app makes your district stand out. And what administrator doesn't want to be known for easy and inclusive communication? 


2. Stay connected to your staff without being bogged down by emails

Just as an app can help with parent and family engagement, it can also help with staff engagement. Busy educators don't always have time to search through email inboxes and calendars. Why not use an app to increase staff engagement? An app can help digitally engage your staff
