About/Syllabus

The About/Syllabus Page is designed to give basic information. As teachers and administrators, you can share general information with students and parents through text and images. Administrators can include information about when the school was founded, history, facts and accolades. Classroom teachers can include a class description, necessary book titles, or even a course syllabus. The About / Syllabus Page gives your students and parents the information they need to know at the touch of a button.

Professors

The Professors Page is a menu style page designed for you to post a professor’s name and then his / her department or the classes taught. After you add multiple professors, you can group them by department or in alphabetical order. This information can prove invaluable to students and parents when trying to contact a specific professor or schedule a meeting. Teachers and professors, you can provide basic information about yourself and the courses you teach on this page with our free app builder.

Schedule

Let your students and parents know about upcoming events or assignments through the Schedule Page. This feature is possibly one of the most valuable pages for schools and teachers. All administrators and teachers know how hard it is to get information out to parents and students in a timely fashion, but this not only lets them know, but gives them a place to go and check for updates about time/schedule changes as well. Just plug in the date and time of your event, and it will be displayed in this page for easy access by your parents and students.

Appointments

The Appointments Page enables you to create a form that students can use to be sent directly to the e-mail address you provide. The student can fill out this form, requesting to schedule an appointment with you. This page is adaptable to almost any need you might have. Create a form for homework questions, parent comments, or any other useful request forms that might help your students and their parents keep in touch with you.
