SchoolSpeak works in conjunction with your school's website. SchoolSpeak is a private web portal for your school community to share information between the school and school families. Typically, the information posted on SchoolSpeak is accessible only through logging into the application. (It is possible to make selected information posted on SchoolSpeak accessible without login.) Each member of the school community - administrators, teachers, parents and even students will have a SchoolSpeak login ID and password. SchoolSpeak presents information based on family requirements. For example, a parent may view his/her student’s grades, attendance record or classroom information.

SchoolSpeak has been designed for minimal administration on a daily basis. Once you set SchoolSpeak up to meet your school’s requirements, you move into maintenance mode.

Daily interaction takes on the form of adding announcements, gradebook entries, attendance records and adding new items to communicate with the parents.

Adding new families can happen at any time whether it is the new family moving to your community or using SchoolSpeak to run your admission process. Simple admin changes such as moving a student or adding a new resource are easy to implement. Typical tasks at the end of the school year include work on class lists, staff changes and application changes that may be required.
