SIMS Parent App

What is it?

Sims Parent App is a convenient way to communicate with parents. The app works to effectively bridge the parent-teacher-student communication gap, improving academic achievement and supporting student wellbeing.  Effective parental engagement in schools is key to their success and the SIMS Parent App is the ideal solution. Building on the popular SIMS Learning Gateway, it provides a convenient and accessible way for schools to communicate with Parents/Carers on all aspects of school life.

Whether it’s sharing information on homework, timetables, school reports or conduct, parents can stay on top of their child’s progress throughout their education. TMS can easily send automated alerts and notifications directly to parents' phones, and a clear dashboard gives parents an overview of their child’s school life, making for meaningful conversation at parents’ evenings. 

✓ Fast access via Smart Phone App (free download from Apple Store/Play Store)
✓ Fast access to attendance, behaviour, achievements, reports, school diary and data collection
✓ Push notifications for instant information
✓ Computer access via web browser if you don’t wish to download the app
