“Things are going well with the app! With only a couple of exceptions, all of our parents are using the app. Our staff love that there is no word cap for messages. The best part is accessibility - you no longer need to track down so and so’s parent’s significant other to message them…it’s in the app. No passcode to join a group makes it easy to get in and out.
Having everyone on board was very important…we made it clear that this would now be our primary way of communicating. Teachers weren’t upset about the change because they are still able to use their other platforms alongside the app. We added a lot of very used forms to the app - absentee, hot lunch - which encouraged regular use by parents.
We completely did away with Remind. Our front staff loves that they receive messages from one place. All in all, it’s been great and I think we will keep expanding our use.”
