BuzzMob

This year, we are using the app, BuzzMob.  The app can be downloaded in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (Android Tablets and Smartphones). This app is free and easy to download.  Once you have downloaded the app, log in with facebook or create a new log in with your email address.  You can then search for Dana School.  When you click on our school, a request will be sent so that you can be accepted.  This is to ensure that the app is secure and private.  Once you are accepted, you will receive notifications on your device with information, news, and updates from our school.  It provides a way for parents to communicate with teachers, administrators, and each other.  Please add the app.  Teachers and parents have already been adding lots of information that you may be missing out on.

This is the information from buzzmob.com about why the app is a great parent communication tool:

For Parents

• Makes parents feel more connected to the school and aware of what's going on with their children.
• Delivers school and classroom information instantly, in a way that parents want and trust.
• Reduces ‘bad parent days’ by reminding busy parents about upcoming school events.
• Ensures that parents always receive notes about important matters and upcoming events.
• Informs parents when events are rained out or rescheduled, avoiding frustration.
