What schools and families get
- News and announcements from the school arrive in one place, with a read confirmation when one is requested;
- absences are reported from the app and follow a clear decision path through to approval;
- forms and permission slips are filled in online, with no sheet to hand back;
- appointments between parents and teachers are booked on the slots the school offers;
- dashboards give the school administration an overview of absences and communications.
Data is hosted in Switzerland, compliant with the FADP and the GDPR.
