YourSchool offers schools (K-12) the opportunity to provide an interactive app that offers students and parents school information, including newsletters, a school calendar that can be personalized to each user, reminder of school rules/code of conduct, pictures and student schedules. In addition, our app allows school staff to send out 'push' notifications to individual or groups of students. These will include the ability to remind students and parents of library book return dates, a date and time of a specific assembly where it would be beneficial for a parent to attend (i.e., awards ceremony, special recognition of child), early dismissal times, school sports game (or practice) reminders and classroom fieldtrips. YourSchool also provides interactive capabilities to both students and parents. Parents will be able to email teachers directly through the app, access student grades and log in absences for their child (through their own secure login). For the latter, parents will also receive an email confirmation to prevent unauthorized absences. Students will be able to access assignments or catch-up on missed work from their teacher(s), reserve library books and add their class schedule to the interactive calendar.

Features for School Staff
The above features are just the start of what YourSchool can offer its clients. Where YourSchool really makes its mark is with its interactive digital forms content. Schools will be able to link a variety of forms that have typically been sent home to parents, including field trip, short excursions, student computer/internet access permission and student verification forms. Parents will be able to fill these forms out directly on their smartphone or mobile device, digitally 'sign' it and send back to the school through their unique and protected user account. In addition, our app also allows for schools to offer direct payment of fees, including school supplies, field trips, payment for lost library books and other ancillary fees. This will lead to a substantial savings to schools in terms of productivity, paper costs and other inefficiencies. Educators will appreciate the ability to send out notifications to parents for assignment reminders and sports coaches will be able to send team schedules and permission forms. Teachers will ultimately perform less administrative tasks and can also receive updates or reports for which students have returned or not returned the various forms and payments. Educators can post classroom notes, assignments, quizzes and any other learning material that they choose. Secretarial staff and business managers will benefit from counting/handling less cash and have more time to perform other duties. YourSchool will allow schools to customize the app with school-specific features, including school logo(s), staff and administration listings and other options.

Additional Options
Another aspect of our app includes the option to include the 'PAC APP' feature where school parent advisory councils can use YourSchool as a sort of built-in feature at an additional cost (similar to an 'in-app purchase'). Imagine the ability to have hot lunch orders being completed with school personnel not having to spend time collecting orders or money. Parents would not have to worry about having the correct change on-hand and students would not have to fret over lost forms or whether they will get their order forms returned on time. This would be an option for schools but would provide an additional source of revenue for our company. |
