Parent communication app for Singapore schools

Move announcements, consent forms and fee reminders out of WhatsApp groups and into one app parents can trust.

Quick answer

A parent communication app gives each family one place to receive school announcements, sign consent forms, view and pay invoices, see attendance and progress, and message teachers. Unlike WhatsApp groups, it keeps parents' phone numbers private from each other, keeps a record of what was sent and acknowledged, and supports PDPA obligations. SchoolSoftware.sg's parent app runs on iOS and Android and supports English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil.

What parents can do in the app

Receive announcements and newsletters, with read receipts for staff
Sign e-consent forms for excursions, photos and medical treatment
View and pay invoices by PayNow or card, and download receipts
See attendance, homework, results and teacher comments
Book trial classes, make-up lessons and parent-teacher meetings
Message teachers or the office, within hours you set

Why not just use WhatsApp groups?

WhatsApp groups expose every parent's phone number to every other parent, mix school notices with chatter, and leave no reliable record of who saw what. Teachers also end up on call on their personal numbers. A dedicated app separates school communication, protects personal data and gives staff office hours.

Multilingual notices

Write once in English and send translations in Chinese, Malay and Tamil so every caregiver — including grandparents — understands important notices.
