A must have app for parents

Love parent mail. I use it for 2 schools on the one app and its fab. Never miss an important letter and love that I can top up dinner money with PayPal straight away and report an absence. So easy and convenient. Great stuff!

So much better than the old piles of paper work and better for the environment too - email notifications work well and I’ve been very impressed with the ease of use

This app is brilliant

This app is brilliant! I'm able to complete forms and return them to the school as soon as I receive the notification. I can also notify the school of child absence etc simply at the click of a button. No need to make phone calls or risk forgetting to do things before the deadline. Plus, all the information is there for me to go back to and review. It's awesome. I feel so much more efficient :-)

Excellent.. parents are more in the loop especially with their older kids such as teenagers that don't talk to us parents but grunt, with parent mail you actually get informed.. good times!!!

Fantastic way to keep up to date!

Fantastic way to keep up to date with everything that goes on with your child at school. Pay for lunches, school performances, parents evenings, complete forms and loads more.
I particularly enjoy getting a weekly update from my son’s teacher and he is amazed when I tell him I know what they have been doing all week!
