Why are School Mobile Apps critical to your School Management?

These recent years have witnessed an emergence of digitization in education, especially school operations. Now that mobile devices have found their way into the education industry, why don’t we use them to leverage the engagement of faculty & family? Below are how School Mobile Apps come as standard in the management process!

School Mobile Apps allow for easy & smooth access  

School Mobile Apps are simple yet useful mobile platforms that allow administrators, professors, and parents to effortlessly access and monitor vital info. All important information, which used to consume time and effort to access, is now available just under the fingertips.

Parents can track their students’ academic and extracurricular performance. Teachers can check the schedule and attendance. Schools can view the participation of students in class, ensure their safety on the bus, and monitor operations such as the cafeteria or merchandise inventory.

Mobile apps blur all the boundaries in communication

Just a few years ago, if you asked a parent whether he/she remembered the last conversation with teachers, the answer would very likely be “Maybe at the conference… I don’t know.” In traditional schools, there was a lack of communication between teachers and parents, and sometimes between the school and their customers – families. This is due to the absence of an effective communication channel, habits, and psychology from both sides.

Thanks to the school mobile apps, parents now can easily communicate with teachers or school admins. They no longer need to ask for each other’s email, phone number, or even travel to school for a conversation. Communication is smooth regardless of their busy schedules or geographical distances. All they have to do is to open the Parent/Teacher Mobile App to start chatting, 1 on 1, instantly and completely free!

Schools can also effectively keep their employees and customers in touch. The Mobile Apps work as a bridge, and school management can send any alerts, updates, or other announcements. Notifications go fast and mass, saving schools time and boosting their efficiency of management.  

School apps boost teachers & parents’ satisfaction

With the help of a school app that is particularly designed for parents and teachers, their experience becomes more smooth. Their engagement with school also increases.

The Parent Mobile App features all necessary services within a touch! Customers no longer have to make a bank transfer, save the receipt to send to school admins. They do not have to join the long queue at schools. Instead, they can make an online payment directly on the app. Their payment data will be autosaved for any future reference. Gradings and test scores are also all available to view on mobile devices. Therefore, parents would be happy to keep track of their children’s performance daily.

The Teacher Mobile App is a useful tool for teachers to manage their work and communicate with other key stakeholders. As per PBS, School Mobile Applications have assisted 73% of teachers. And 69% of schools can support their learners in the learning process.

For example, with Helen Teacher Mobile App, teachers can schedule meetings with parents, have a discussion with families if needed, and get notified about any changes in curricula or activities. The app saves them time, reduces redundant paperwork, and helps them concentrate on the core of teaching.

Adopting this mobile innovation will make key stakeholders happy and more satisfied, leading to the sustainable growth of any educational institution!

They enable real-time tracking & analysis

People are now using smartphones as part of all their daily activities, so mobile apps will encourage instant updates regularly. This, as a result, allows for real-time tracking and analysis.

For example, school administration can easily create and edit enrollment forms for classes, using their mobile app. Registration, if any, will be immediately in sync with management system. Apps save their data and school admins can generate dashboards for insightful information. The insights are useful for schools to lower the drop-off or level up their readmission rate promptly.

Another real-life illustration for this is Helen Mobile App in School Bus Management. A school bus when being connected with the mobile app can offer real-time live tracking via GPS. Everyone at school and home know where the bus is and when it will arrive at its destination. Helen Smart School Bus System also aids in the monitoring of student attendance. Using Helen Mobile App, bus staff can check bus attendance, then immediately update the school tracking system. Notifications of attendance will, in a matter of seconds, be sent to parents via Helen Parent App, making them assured. From a school management perspective, a smart bus solution with a mobile app integrated: “is a great product. All problems were solved swiftly and effectively.”  (Ms. Ha Anh – Bus Manager – BIS Hanoi)
