TripSync keeps everyone on the same page during a school field trip — organizers, chaperones, and parents — without the chaos of group texts, scattered emails, or last-minute phone calls. Built specifically for school field trips, TripSync gives the trip organizer one place to plan the day, the chaperones a simple way to share updates from the road, and parents the peace of mind of knowing where their child's group is and how things are going. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — For organizers • Set up a trip with stops, groups, and a student roster • Invite chaperones and parents by email • Watch the trip unfold in real time from the trip feed • Keep optional health notes attached to a student so chaperones have what they need For chaperones • See the students assigned to your group • Post photos and updates to the trip feed • Check in at each stop so parents know where the group is • Record headcounts at a glance • Message the trip organizer or a parent privately For parents • Follow the trip feed for your child's class • See your child's chaperone and groupmates • Know which stop the group is at right now • Message your child's chaperone directly if you need to — DESIGNED FOR SCHOOLS — • No GPS tracking. Check-ins are the names of stops the organizer set up (e.g. "Visitor Center"), not coordinates. Children are never tracked on a map. • No ads. No third-party advertising. No tracking SDKs. • Children do not have accounts. Only adults — staff, chaperones, and parents — sign in. • Student information is visible only to the organizer of the trip, the chaperone of the student's group, and the student's own parents or guardians. • Photos are stored privately and are only visible to participants of the trip they were posted in. — PRIVACY FIRST — TripSync is built around the idea that a school trip app shouldn't be hoovering up data. We don't collect location, contacts, calendar, microphone, or browsing activity. We don't sell or share personal information. Read our full privacy policy at https://surfcx.github.io/tripsync/privacy-policy.html. — WHO IT'S FOR — TripSync is intended for adults: teachers and other school staff who organize trips, parent volunteers who chaperone, and parents/guardians of children participating in a trip. Schools and organizers are responsible for obtaining the necessary parental consent before adding student information. Questions or feedback? Email us at neelagiri@outlook.com.
