TESTIMONIALS
APP DEMO
See how SchoolRush! can make a difference at your school.
As a growing school, we found ourselves struggling to find the right tool to communicate important information to our busy parents. Too many emails were leading to “email fatigue” resulting in unopened messages and actually decreasing effective communication. The School Rush! App is the perfect tool.
Mrs. Kate O.This app really helps. I am glad that there is an app now to make everything easier to see. It’s easy to use and navigate through all of the great features.
Jessie R.Great App! This app is easy to use and great to access all your child’s school information. I love that you can call any classmate’s parent or e-mail the teacher with ease all on your smartphone!
TraciExcellent features and improving daily. Very responsive support for problems and improvements. Easy interface on desktop or mobile devices. Well received by parents. Easy platform to communicate daily or emergency information.
