Over the past five years our network of schools (1500 students) has used ClassroomParent for everything from weekly email communication with families, to organizing and sharing of events and opportunities for our communities, to maintaining up-to-date contact information for our students.
Classroom Parent is instrumental in our efforts to foster a supportive and welcoming community with our families - making it easy to reach our whole community at one time, ensuring important school emails are being received, and easily tracking and receiving field trip payments.
Classroom Parent allowed us to go paperless with our communication and is a much more user-friendly platform for our families to access their student’s information. As operations director, it has been helpful to have all our leadership teams, parent organizations, and teachers using a common tool that creates consistency across our organization.
Our school was using Classroom Parent as a directory when back in 2019 we discovered all the other features.
We have since come to rely on ClassroomParent as a single stop for the PTA to manage events, volunteers, communication and membership. Right away our parents loved the volunteer process, particularly the reminders, and our committee chairs appreciated a central location to manage events and volunteers.
The weekly newsletters are appreciated by our parents as each newsletter is relevant with specific information for that family. One of my favorite things is the membership process. We needed a more dynamic PTA membership process and ClassroomParent was willing to discuss our needs and come up with a process that was the best it could be. As a result, our Back to School membership push is very successful, and it highlights one of my favorite things about ClassroomParent, which is their thoughtful support.
I highly recommend ClassroomParent to any PTA, PTO or school looking for an efficient way to communicate with their community.
As someone who has spent many, many hours using the volunteer feature, I have to say, it's just about perfect, and makes it so much easier to sign-up for a job, and track those who have signed up. Anyone can use it - Class parties, end of year celebrations, teachers needing supplies.
ClassroomParent has had a real impact at our school. Our teachers have a cost-effective new tool at their disposal and our PTA has been energized.
