If you want parents to know what is happening in school, you need to make it as easy as possible for them to get connected and see the whole picture. A single login provides details for all their kids.

Parents can connect from any computer, or with the free Twine app from their mobile phone or tablet.

You don’t want parents to ever be surprised by what shows up in their kid’s report cards.

This is why Twine gives parents access to student calendars, performance and activities along the way, with a quick view of running averages in each class, and notifications for each new graded homework assignment and exam.

Sharing access to teacher notes, handouts, lessons, and classroom materials means parents know exactly how to help when kids have questions at home or are struggling with an assignment.

When parents have easy access to their kid’s schedules they can better support teachers — helping ensure students are prepared for exams and not missing homework.

That’s why Twine presents a personalized calendar for each student, with upcoming schedules and all the events, homework and exams in one place.

Giving parents an easy way to contact teachers and staff means they’re more likely to reach out when there are questions, helping to clear up minor concerns before they balloon into major problems.

Twine’s simple private messaging allows parents to easily send a quick message, whenever something comes up.

Your parents get just as frustrated with lost and misplaced forms as you do!

Eliminate paper with Twine’s simple online forms, which are great for permission slips, policy acknowledgements, and volunteer sign-ups. And when it is time to arrange for parent-teacher conferences, parents can use Twine to see available slots and schedule online.

When information needs to go out to parents or staff urgently, Twine’s Alerts system is there for you. Administrators may broadcast SMS notifications to all mobile numbers in seconds, letting the community know of weather events or other emergencies in real time.
