Will check if Pete has logged it in. Funnily enough, another student mentioned it again this morning.

Most of our parents use the MyFrog app as they get instant notifications when a member of staff has assigned a piece of homework or posted a comment on their child's ePlanner. I understand from our students that they use it on their phones as it is quicker than going through the web and they like the instant notification. They also use it to check their e-comments, timetables and assignments. Parents have said to use it the same way as well as accessing data from lessons scores and behaviour/ achievements points. The negative they have fed back on was it can be very glitchy, they have to click/ scroll a few times to get to the info they want and they can only see the instructions of an assignment, not the actual resource attached to it. It also kicks them out at times and they have to contact us to remind them of the URL or logins details. I have lately been asked to put it on colleagues' phones as they find is easier and quicker to post comments on students' ePlanners from anywhere in the day or evening. We have been using Frog as a digital planner for a while now to save funding on a paper one that students often lose and parents don't even look at. All stakeholders are now used to it as our main communicative tool. As teachers, we also use it for notifications from colleagues to reduce unnecessary emails to all staff, as well as promoting newsletters and events/ parents evenings. Staff have said the same about been kicked out of it on regular basis.

Thank you Graham, you are a star. nward, is it the same as the one on the digital planner mentioned by Graham?

If I recall well, one of the speakers/ schools at Frog 19 mentioned they had created a form for parents to report their child absent online rather than having to wait for someone to answer the phone. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can see what it looks like please? Thanks.
