Our Features
All of Parent Portal's features are designed to enhance your parents experience and your interaction with them. Giving your parents access to a mobile application versus a website always keeps your business in their pockets (and yours too!).
Parent Connection Board
Keep your parents engaged and communicating in your portal. This board allows parents to follow other parents and see public posts from followed parents in a single feed. When users perform an interactive action (i.e. liking a post, commenting on a post), other users in that group will even get an automated SMARTPush™ notification.
Announcements
Keep your parents "in-the-know" in real time with Announcements. Each time you post on the announcement board your parents will receive an automated SMARTPush™ notification. Each communication board allows for unlimited photos and videos. Plus who doesn't love all the cool GIF's you can use!
Events Calendar
Link your Google calendar so your parents can keep track of upcoming events at their fingertips.
Directory
Include directory-like information about the teachers and staff within your organization with pictures, contact info, bios, and videos.
