 Set Up | With a convenient app, everyone can quickly and easily access information from any device, in real-time, in and out of the classroom. The SIMS Parent app is clear and easy to use, install and roll-out to parents. Single sign-on functionality removes the burden of resetting passwords from the school, and the app does not rely on schools having expensive infrastructure to maintain it. It was easy to install and setup, and ESS were on hand with any support that was required. It was so easy to create accounts to get up and running and we also created a school email for parents to register their interest in the SIMS Parent app, which worked extremely well as it proved to be a validation of the email records we held for parents. |
