What it is

Skool Loop is an Android and iOS app for parent-teacher communication about school notices, appointments, and other updates. Parents can receive newsletters and push notifications, check the school calendar, choose teacher-provided interview slots, respond to permission slips, send absence messages, and find school contacts. Notice groups let parents select which school channels send them updates. The app translates between English, German, and Mandarin. Its calendar can connect to a school Google calendar or student management system and synchronize with other calendar programs. The maker says the service caters to schools in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. The maker says form information is directed to the selected school and is not accessed by Skool Loop or sold for database use. It also says data is hosted on AWS, passwords are encrypted, and images and documents are stored privately with controlled access. The app has been assessed by Safer Technologies 4 Schools.
