Parental Engagement

Parental Engagement in Schools

Increasing parental engagement in schools is one of the key benefits to using our parental engagement tools, helping you to keep parents informed, updated and included in the school community and in their child’s progress.

What's the benefit?

Engaged parents are more informed, involved and active parents. Armed with a stake in their child’s education, they’re more likely to develop a rewarding dialogue with you, and ensure that their child makes the most of their time at school.

Provide parents with the information they need

Imagine you could give your entire parent community access to the information they needed about their children’s progress, round the clock, wherever they are. The Groupcall Xpressions app for smartphone and tablet does just that. No wonder it’s the ultimate home-school communications tool.

School alerts, attendance, teacher comments and even exam timetables, all delivered in a clear format.
Send push notifications instead of texts – saving you money.
Enable parents to stay abreast of homework assignments and key dates in the school calendar.

Perfect your parents evenings

The process of booking appointments at Parents' Evenings is often complex and burdensome. Now, with the help of Groupcall Messenger, parents can make their own appointments at a time to suit them – with no need for students to do the legwork on their behalf, and no old-fashioned paperwork.

Set-up new parents' evening events in minutes.
Enables parents to log in and book their own appointments, quickly and simply.
