Communication: Improving the Connection Between Teachers, Families, and Students to Optimize School Management

The Problem

Schools often face difficulties in communication between teachers, families, and students. Using multiple channels (email, paper, separate platforms) creates confusion and delays in transmitting relevant information, complicating optimal school management.

The Solution

Additio App centralizes communication into a single platform, allowing messages to be sent to families and students quickly and securely. Information about class grades, attendance, school events, or any other message can be communicated, either to groups of students or about a specific student.

Additionally, private chats can be created with families and students for any matter that needs to be discussed privately.

Another notable feature is the ability to send forms and authorizations, eliminating the need for paper notices that never reach home. This is ideal for excursion permissions, collecting information about food intolerances, obtaining image rights, and any other information typically sent via circulars!

Additio App’s communication platform allows sharing all types of resources that enhance learning and facilitate homework assignments, such as PDFs, worksheets, videos, links to websites, and any other materials to reinforce class content.

Moreover, it enables message scheduling, which is a great help for preparing messages in advance and forgetting about them.

Advantages of Additio App’s Communication Platform

• Real-time and bidirectional communication
• Reduction of paper usage and scattered emails
• Fully private and secure environment
• Ability to send grades and evaluations
• Notification to families in case of student absence

Real Case

The international school Gresol uses the personalized communication platform, allowing them to be much closer to families and communicate all types of information, regardless of their children’s educational stage. More than 91% of teachers regularly use the communication platform, with 100% of families connected.

Economic and Administrative Management: Efficient Resource Control to Better Manage Your School

The Problem

Schools manage multiple payments, enrollments, extracurricular activities, and other administrative expenses, as well as projects, human resources, cafeteria services, and many more processes. This can result in inefficient manual processes and the risk of accounting errors, making it crucial to have tools that support these tasks.

The Solution

Additio App’s platform enhances school management by allowing easy management of accounting, invoicing, inventories, and human resources in any institution.

With the economic management module, schools can automate invoicing quickly and easily. Various scenarios are considered (different types of payments, pending payments, payments made by multiple guardians, etc.).

Additionally, schools can easily manage human resources, centralizing everything on a single platform (from time tracking to employee information, including hiring processes and recruitment).

And that’s not all… If you are looking for a tool to facilitate project and incident management, control extracurricular activities, and track opportunities (CRM), everything is within your reach.

Advantages of Additio App’s Economic and Administrative Management Module

• Reduction of human errors in accounting
• Greater transparency in financial management

Report Cards: Faster and More Organized Evaluations

The Problem

The process of preparing and delivering report cards is often tedious and prone to errors, especially when handled manually or across multiple disconnected platforms. Sound familiar? But it doesn’t have to be complicated!

The Solution

Additio App allows automatic, customizable generation of report cards aligned with the school’s evaluation criteria, enabling real-time tracking of student progress.

Report cards can be created quickly, fully customized, and linked to teacher gradebooks.

Additionally, they are exportable in PDF format and can be easily sent to families via email or Edvoice, ensuring they are always informed about their children’s progress.

AI-Powered Timetable Generator: Efficient and Error-Free Planning

The Problem

Creating schedules is one of the most complex tasks in school management, as it must consider multiple constraints such as teacher availability, classrooms, and subjects.

The Solution

Additio App features an AI-powered timetable generator that automatically optimizes scheduling based on the school’s criteria. The platform enables the automatic creation of school schedules in minutes, optimizing class assignments, faculty, and spaces.

Furthermore, changes can be made easily and in real-time, managing substitutions and coverage if necessary, a very common issue in schools.

Schedules created with this tool are easily shareable with the rest of the educational community, ensuring that teachers, families, and students are always up to date.

Advantages of Additio App’s Timetable Generator

• Significant time savings in schedule creation
• Reduction of manual errors
• Adaptability to last-minute changes
