“SISCL Connects”

During our interviews we identified communication as an important priority for our school. We wanted to set up an app that connects everyone in the school and makes it easier to communicate. SISCL Connects will help teachers, parents and students come together virtually. It will provide calendars, reminders and private chat opportunities for everyone in the school.

Our app, SISCL Connects, helps all members of the school community share information. When we interviewed members of the school community they all stated it is difficult to keep track of all the events going on in school. A student said, "I don't remember when there are fundraisers and I always forget money." A parent said, "I have difficulty keeping track of my Middle School students school calendar. It is very different from elementary school and I wish there was a place where everything was all together." Finally a teacher said, "I would like to know what is going on in other classes so I don't schedule things on the same days." Our app would not only help with classes, but it would help keep track of all the different events that go on in our school. It would unify the school in a way not currently available.

When the app opens, the first screen is a login screen. The user logs in with a username and password.

You are shown all the things that are going on in school and then you can select your own homeroom and get more specific information. Your class, private messages with teachers, reminders, and Event calendars are all available for you to look at.
