One part
Start with one part
A package is the usual start, not the only one.
Any part on its own
A school can buy any one part alone, such as Fees for the bursar or Assessments for one department.
The apps come with it
Every part comes with the family and learner apps, free for every family.
The next part is a setting
Every part uses the same families, learners and staff, so switching on a second part is a setting, not a move.
Pilot
A pilot on any package
A pilot runs for one grade and one term, on whichever package the school is considering.
A Connect pilot needs only the family list and goes live in days.
Upgrades
The usual order
Every quote shows the next step, so the school knows where it is going.
Connect this term
Notices, Documents and the school's page, with the family and learner apps. It needs only the family list.Office in next year's budget
Fees, Register and Admissions, so the office runs on one system.Whole School when a contract ends
Assessments, Timetable and a full website, when the current system or the timetable contract comes to an end.
Questions
Questions about packages
Why are there no prices on this page?
A school's price depends on its size and the package it chooses, so we quote it after the walkthrough. Everything a school asks of a family on Slooch is free for every family.
How is a pilot priced?
After the walkthrough, for one grade and one term on the package the school is considering. The pilot's terms are agreed before anything starts.
Can we buy one part without a package?
Yes. Any part can be bought alone, and it comes with the family and learner apps.
Can we change package during the year?
Yes. A school adds a part or moves up a package with a setting, because every part uses the same families, learners and staff. Fees and Assessments are easiest to start at the beginning of a term.
What comes with every package?
The family and learner apps, Ask Slooch and the Slooch assistant where they apply, who has read and done what, the history of every change, and hosting in South Africa for live schools.
What happens to the school's data if it stops?
The school's data is exported to it and removed from Slooch on the school's instruction. Under POPIA the school is the responsible party and Slooch is its operator.
