Family Premium
We want parents to be more involved in their child's learning at school. eKool can support this by improving school-home communication and adding channels to get information. There are parents who prefer emails, there are those who like to receive sms and there are parents whose main communication channel is app and push notifications. We have now bundled these additional options into the Family Premium.
In the Family Premium settings, you can specify where and to whom Absence patrol, Grade patrol or Upcoming test notifications are sent. Multiple recipients can be linked to each service - for example, you can send an e-mail notification to a grandparent who does not use eKool but whose grandchild is studying with them after school. There can be more than one recipient for the weekly report.
Family Premium subscriber is the package owner who manages the notifications sent by their Family Premium. All eKool users who are part of the package can see the statistics of the grades immediately and without any additional actions. Each member of the Family Premium can choose which information he or she wants to receive in the form of push notifications in their app. The rest of the settings are up to the subscriber.
