School App for Parents

Test, Office Manager: Useful app to have when the parents use it
Test, DHT: Basic comms app. Lacking features and likely to be superseded in due course by other systems. Developer issues this year left us down for around a week. Limited updates from team. No offers of compensation for lost time.
Irene Snedden: Very easy to use and help is always available when you need it.
