About

School Plan

Features
Read full description

School Plan is the app for parents who want to know at a glance what their children are doing at school, day by day and hour by hour. THE WEEKLY TIMETABLE Enter the class timetable once: Monday to Friday, with each subject in its own colour, plus teacher and room. Swipe sideways to move to the next week. LUNCH, HOMEWORK AND PLAYTIME Beyond lessons, mark the other moments of the school day. They can change from one day to the next, just like in real life. SEVERAL CHILDREN, ONE TAP TO SWITCH Each child has their own colour, class and timetable. Choose at the top whose week you want to see. THE TIMETABLE CHANGES? NO PROBLEM If the timetable changes during the year, create a new version starting from that week: past weeks stay as they were. For a substitute teacher or a room change, just change that single day. A CALENDAR WITH HOLIDAYS ALREADY IN Christmas, Easter, Easter Monday and all Italian national holidays appear automatically, and you can add your town's patron saint day. Mark school holidays, bridge days, school trips and early dismissals for all your children or just one: closures appear striped in the timetable, and after an early dismissal the remaining hours are greyed out. NEW SCHOOL YEAR IN ONE TAP In September, move up to the next class while keeping the same time slots: you only need to enter the new subjects. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no ads, no data collected. Everything stays on your iPhone. School Plan also works in dark mode, and is available in Italian, English, Chinese and Spanish.
