VS-Mail

The Basics

The web app for parents has been rebuilt. We have also launched a mobile app for parents alongside this which is available on Android and iOS. The Parent App is free for all VSware schools to use and is available today. No set-up is required.

The Communications Package includes two features: VS-Mail and the Absence Requests feature. The use of this package is billed to the school annually and costs €3 ex. VAT per student and is based on the number of students in your school.

If you would would like to sign up to use the Communications Package, simply fill in the form at the bottom of this page and a member of our team will be in touch.

The Parent App

We know that strengthening the partnership between schools and parents is vital for positive student outcomes.

VS-Mail

The Communications Package

VS-Mail is a powerful new tool that has a huge impact on the way a school community is connected. It means significant savings on time and money for schools by allowing anyone with a VSware account including staff, contacts (parents etc.) or students to send and receive messages to and from their accounts.

It works in much the same way as an email would by allowing you to send messages to individuals or groups, cc or bcc recipients, attach files, format the font etc., however all messages are sent between VSware accounts, not using email addresses.

Absence Requests

The Communications Package

The Absence Request feature is a useful tool for the challenges that schools face this year in particular. It allows parents to submit past or future absence requests directly to the school via their accounts. On the school side, requests are easily approved or denied as they come in via a realtime dashboard widget or the Absence Requests screen.
