Welcome to the first-of-its-kind school engagement app!
What is "school engagement"? Its how your school and parents connect as one community. This app automates your volunteering process, your school directory, and other annual registration needs in one central and secure place.
Know more about your community’s talents, skills, and interests and engage and connect faculty, parents, and extended family as one community in one app to increase overall participation
No more manual forms, public sign-up sites, multiple emails trying to direct people to the sign-up sites, tracking volunteer hours in spreadsheets, school leaders pushing hours quotas, frustrated PTOs / PTAs who need more volunteers, printed directories that finally come in halfway through the school year, and frustrated parents who hate the process.
The app uses proven gamification theory to make the process fun and engaging. This will greatly simplify your life, adding a level of convenience to your parent community that will be appreciated. Also, the app conforms to your school brand (logo, color scheme) and can be used as a great marketing tool to prospective families. Build a more engaged school community with Connect1.
