Little BirdsSchool communication app for parents, teachers and students
Notices, messages and automatic updates in one place, so families hear from the school the same day, without phone calls or paper slips.
Notices to the right people
Post an announcement to the whole school, or only to one section's students, guardians and teachers. Everyone it is for is notified in the portal, and by email if they have chosen to be.
Private messages between families and staff
Parents and students can write to the teachers of their classes and to the school office. Administrators can read conversations for oversight; only the people in a conversation can reply.
Updates nobody has to send by hand
Families are told when their child is marked absent or late, when homework is set or reviewed, when results are finalized, when an invoice or receipt is issued and when the school shares a document.
A portal on any phone
Parents and students sign in from the browser on any phone or computer: there is no app to download. A parent with more than one child at the school switches between them.
Each family chooses
Parents choose which notifications also arrive by email, and keep their own contact details up to date.
Questions schools ask
Is there an app to download?
No. The portal works in the browser on any phone or computer, so families do not need to install anything.
Does Little Birds send SMS?
No. Notifications arrive in the portal and by email.
Can a parent with two children use one login?
Yes. Once the school links both children to the parent, they switch between them in the portal.
Works together with
Attendance
Attendance taken in minutes, and parents told the same day
Teachers take the day's register from a phone or computer. When it is submitted, parents are notified if their child was absent or late, and they can send an absence request from their phone.
Exams & report cards
Report cards calculated from the marks, not typed by hand
Set up each exam with your own grading scheme and GPA scale. Teachers enter marks, missing entries are flagged instead of counted as zero, and finalized results go straight to each student's report card.
