Always have emergency contact details ready
The student list gives you access to important information for each student. This also includes the emergency contact details of parents and other family members. By linking this information directly to the parents’ user profiles, it is always kept up-to-date. In case of an emergency, you no longer need to desperately look for the right phone number but have it right at your fingertips.
After your first login, all emergency contacts can also be used offline. This way you do not depend on an active Internet connection.
