Let's cut to the chase. If you make content available on a mobile phone, engagement increases.

Like really, really increases. Our FREE app is the gateway to giving your community convenient access. And there's nothing you have to do. Content from your website automatically populates the app.

There's a misconception that an app requires admin time. That may be true of other school apps, but because ours is integrated with your website, you don't have to do a thing. Other than of course, encouraging your parents to download it.

The app if free to schools.

Please spend a few minutes and see how the app works with your website and see how easy parents can access your content.

Shhh... Denis didn't want to announce this just yet, but just between you and I, we have 4 new web themes landing in Term 2.  This gives us 8 different display styles for our websites!  Pretty exciting!  We'll give you more details after the break.  It might be time to think about a theme upgrade. Stay tuned.
