Schools and parent communication have reached a crossroad in recent years thanks to the ubiquity of smartphones and mobile apps. With more students staying at home and online classes on the rise it is now more important than ever that teachers and parents are able to stay connected. Parent -Teacher communication apps emerged as the remediable factor to this myriad of problems, helping teachers communicate with parents effectively and seamlessly.
Adopting a parent-friendly app that creates engagement and transparency is a must for all educators. Parents that are kept in the loop feel more empowered, better in control of their children’s learning and attainment, are more likely to be engaged and have a better attitude towards the school and the teaching staff too. For teachers, having up-to-date knowledge of students’ home situations, on a week-by-week and sometimes day-to-day basis, allows for better understanding of students' needs and requirements so they can better meet them.
