FreshSchools overview

What is FreshSchools?

FreshSchools is a school management tool that helps teachers, administrators, and parents stay connected seamlessly anywhere—with up-to-date information. It provides several features such as email reminders, document storage, custom branding, peer-to-peer fundraising, and more.

FreshSchools offers a user-friendly communication system that allows teachers to schedule or send messages at any time, give instant updates on student progress, and start discussions. They can also create volunteer requests and invite people to sign up with just one click.

The platform enables parents to manage their experience by finding volunteers in specialized areas—the ones who have tagged their special skills on their profiles—and reach out to them directly.
