School Mobile App - Increasing Parental Involvement
by Jitender Kumar Chief manager DevelopmentParents are equally important as teachers are when it comes to a student to learn and educate. But Schools often
had a great time involving parents in a student’s scholastic activities. Be it
Annual Day Function, Sports Day, or Regular Parents teachers Meeting. Teachers
had a hard time achieving maximum attendance from parents. Apart from these
special days Homework, Projects, Co-curricular activities also require parents’
involvement for better results from students.
Parents are our first teachers. Be
it our first step or our first word we learn most firsts from our parents.
Although they can't teach us everything hence, we are admitted to schools for
better education. While few of us think that once a child is admitted to school
it’s the duty of the school to teach them everything and transform the child
into a good student. But we often ignore the fact that a child spends just 8
hours a day in school remaining 16 hours is spent at home with parents or
guardians. So, parents also play a vital role in the 360 growth of a child
and parents are the child’s first best friend too.
Today we will be discussing What holds back parents from involving in
their child’s studies and what can be done by a school to increase parents’
involvement in their ward’s scholastic activities.
The Problem: Every parent wishes to be a
part of their child’s childhood journey and witness them growing and learning
but providing them with a good lifestyle is also important hence most of the
parents are working and the major problem that they encounter is time. It's really
difficult for working parents to devote time to children as they have their own
set of duties to perform hence Children suffers the lack of their time and
involvement. Various studies have shown that lack of parent involvement results
in improper growth of a child both physically and socially. Once parents are
back from work due to a whole day of work, they are not in a state to devote
more time and all they have is weekends that too with a lot of errands to do.
The Solution: As we all are very well aware
that whether working or non-working but every individual owns a smartphone and
access to the internet (Thanks to Jio Telecom). We all have different mobile
apps loaded on our phone that helps by simplifying our daily tasks be it
Ordering Groceries, Booking Tickets, Making Bill Payments, and what not. So, we
should also have an app to monitor our child’s growth. Campus care mobile app
enables both Parents & Teachers in collaborating in real-time and sharing
information about child’s activities on the go anytime from anywhere.
Parents can view the assigned homework, Access previous records, Analyse
Performance Reports, and do the needful required. Parents can also communicate
with the teacher regarding any information right through the mobile app in Realtime
and have a quick discussion. This way parents can utilize their traveling time
in putting a vigilance on their ward and his performance.
Teachers can also share invites for Special Functions or PTM’s so that
parents can plan accordingly and they can also receive reminders regarding the
same as scheduled by school authorities. School Mobile App helps parents
in devoting more time to their children’s assessment and involve in scholastic
activities of their children. For instance, if parents miss the annual sports
function, they can still access the photos and videos of the participation of
their wards on a mobile app and won’t feel left out and can cherish the
moments.
Undoubtedly, School Parent communication helps in creating a strong
and effective relationship between school and parents. All thanks to
technology and for revolutionizing the way schools used to work and becoming
schools to be so quick, efficient, and easy.
