One place for everything going on with your elementary school child
If you’re tired of trying to keep track of the class emails, school emails, rss feeds, signup boards, class web sites and school web sites, The ChalkBird is just what you need.
Home
Your personal, parental control panel.
The most important single screen for you, the parent. The home screen shows you everything that’s new, and everything coming up that you need to pay attention to.
- New conversations
- New replies
- New events
- New room feed posts
- If it's new and you haven't seen it, it's here.
Conversations
Stay in the loop with the class, and other parents.
Any essential communications from the room parents or your child’s teacher land here. This includes communications about new events on your childs calendar.
And also, this is where you can communicate directly (and privately) with parents of any children in your child's class, not to mention the teacher or room parent(s).
They're all right here.
Calendar
Never miss another event – ever.
Want to remember what’s happening today (or this week, or this month) with your child’s class? Need to remember if this was the week you signed up for that thing? Go to the Calendar to find out.
There's month, week, 5-day and agenda views. If you know how to use just about any other calendar, you know how to use this one.
Help Requests
Click, click, donate, done.
No more navigating long email chains just to figure out who's already committed to donating what. Help requests has everything you need to help out with your child’s class and also to keep track of everything you said you’d help out with.
Room Feed
Wish you could be a fly on the wall in your children’s class?
Ever wonder what goes on in your child’s class? Want to see posts, photos or videos of the day’s activities? Go to the Room Feed. It’s your child’s classroom social media platform. But it’s completely private and secure. Only the teacher, parents and room parents in the class can see it.
Parents: The next step is up to you.
If you want to be able to use something like this for your child's class, let their teacher or room parent know.
