The power of Helen Mobile App in parental involvement

Helen Mobile App helps track student performance

Students’ Performance Monitoring is considered a must-have feature for most applications for parents. There are several reasons for the supervision of children’s academic achievement. In Vietnam, it’s very common that these family members need to know clearly how the kids are doing at school. 

However, with a large number of students, schools usually can not help all parents with the tracking process. They often send emails or book offline meetings. This costs them time, effort and is not efficient at all. 

Helen Mobile Solution enables parents to continuously keep an eye on students’ progress. All they need to do is to log in to the mobile app. All necessary information is available to check within 1 portal. They can view the scorecards, attendance, gradings, etc. Once there is any update, parents can check instantly. 

Parents can check and update all information as a matter of seconds

Information management is a great concern of all schools in this world. Moreover, parents also have problems with filling in contact details over and over again whenever they need to check or update something.

Helen Parent Mobile Solution makes checking and updating information much easier. On only 1 portal, parents can access all necessary info related to their children. They can check student classes, health records, meal plans, etc. Parents can even view real-time bus locations to make sure that their kids are safe on the way to school. Besides, they can request updates on home addresses, mobile phones, etc. directly via Helen app. As a result, it is easier for parents to stay updated and for schools to manage. 

The mobile app allows parents to re-enroll and pay without going to school

Re-enrollment is critical for any student in any educational organization. However, their parents have to travel to school to re-enroll for the upcoming semester, as well as pay tuition fees. For schools, the staff is required to be present 24/7 at the front desk, handle the enrollment and payment.

As the conventional process is time-consuming for both stakeholders, many schools are now looking for a digital solution of re-enrollment. Understanding this, Helen incorporates such a feature into our application for parents. 

With our app, the customers can receive a notification from the school regarding the timing of admission and remittance. An e-form will be sent accordingly. Then, parents will just need to fill in the form and pay within Helen app. This takes no longer than 5 minutes, and the schools can manage all data timely and accurately. Furthermore, the feature also lowers physical contact, which is beneficial during pandemic times.

Registration and payment for extracurricular activities is at fingertips

Apart from semester enrollment, after-class activities registration is also available at parents’ fingertips. 

Helen Parent Mobile App helps moms and dads receive notifications of all extra curriculum then make a direct payment, no matter where they are. Modern parents are usually very busy with their work. They might be traveling overseas for business while the deadline to register for an after-class activity is coming. Therefore, if schools use emails or offline channels to announce the registration, parents might not receive it. However, thanks to Helen App, customers can stay well informed about all activities in school and take timely actions.

Parents easily buy and pay for School Merchandise via app 

School Merchandise is also an interesting part of school branding, customer experience, and school finance. Many children would love to own a T-shirt or cap with their school logo. However, in most traditional schools, they can only find it at the school store. Most of the time, they then have to arrive home, ask their parents, and come back to purchase. 

This experience will become much smoother with Helen Mobile App. School Merchandise is available to check on the mobile portal. Students can decide at home which one they want to get, have parents pre-pay for them via app, and come to pick them up at the school store. 

Conclusion

All in all, Helen Parent Mobile App will drive parental involvement in students’ academic and other activities. 

Besides, it also works as a powerful communication bridge.
