Douglas Community School App - helping parents/guardians, students, staff and the wider school community to stay up to date with the latest school news, information and upcoming events. Parents/guardians, students and staff receive important and relevant push notifications straight to their mobile device. Parents/guardians and staff can submit digital forms and polls directly from the app, reducing paperwork, with parents/guardians alerted to forms and polls via push notifications. Users who set up a profile (not mandatory) can chose for which news and event feeds they wish to receive push notifications for, making push notifications more relevant to the user’s needs and preferences. Users can save their content to their “favourites” and access them again later. The VSWare portal is also accessible directly from the app.
