Organise events
With SchoolFox PLUS you can also do organisational things more efficiently. Not only can they create events, but they can also decide whether to invite both parents and students, and by when they have to answer the invitation. Consultation hours and Parents’ days are easier than ever to organize by providing time slots and allowing parents to book slots.
With surveys, you can also let parents vote on all relevant things.
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.
