The Elk Island Catholic School district located in the Canadian province of Alberta has released an innovative new school app that is designed to improve communication between school professionals, parents, children and the wider community at large.
In addition to offering school-centric information to students and their parents, this school app even allows users to see updated bus schedules in real-time, thanks to the fact that school buses will be equipped with GPS systems. This ensures that students can avoid waiting outside in the cold for a bus that's half an hour away. The app also features a safety alert system that can be activated if a bus gets into an accident.
Ultimately, this school app aims to provide parents with peace of mind by using real-time information-sharing.
