SchoolSpeak 1.8.5

Are you a user of SchoolSpeak, the comprehensive school management solution? We are pleased to introduce our new iOS App, which allows you to conveniently access all the features of your SchoolSpeak web portal. With the App, you can access announcements, calendar events, homework, grades, report cards, lunch ordering, and other features provided by your school in a more streamlined manner. The SchoolSpeak App can be used by multiple users on the same device, allowing for easy access for both students and parents.

Please note that using the app requires a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection to the internet. It is important to be aware that using the app on a mobile data connection may result in additional charges. However, we provide the option to disable mobile data usage in the app settings.

The SchoolSpeak App also offers the ability to retain an offline record of certain content available online, such as the calendar, announcements, homework, and member list. This means that even when you are not connected to the internet, you can still access important information. Imagine being able to review your school calendar or check announcements while on a plane trip!

Currently, the app is primarily focused on providing information from your SchoolSpeak portal. However, we have plans to add editing functionality in future updates.

We value your feedback and aim to continuously improve our app. Please take a moment to send us any comments or suggestions you may have at [email protected].
