Bloomz: An App for Parent Communication

If you're looking for a way to communicate with parents in an easy to use and FREE app, check out Bloomz.  It's designed as a tool to communicate and connect with parents.



As a teacher, you would sign up on Bloomz' website, select your school, and personalize your classroom.  Parents then join your class and start getting updates in real-time.  You can invite parents to your Bloomz class by email or via a class code.

The teacher can share class updates, field trip photos, videos, or reminders for due dates or deadlines.  If desired, there is a behavior management tool that teachers can use to reinforce positive behavior.  All within the app, teachers can coordinate parent-teacher conferences, volunteer requests, and supply donations.  Parents can like or comment on what you share, or you can turn that feature off.

Teachers have the ability to send a message to all parents, or just have a one-on-one conversation between him/herself and a parent.

Moreover, Bloomz Content Translation gives families the option to translate posts, events, announcements, alerts, and comments into over 80 languages.  This features works on any device with an Internet browser.

Lastly, everything on Bloomz is protected by strict security measures, so rest assured everything is private and secured.
