All of Slooch
The whole school on one app, bought in parts.
Start with the part you need. Every part works on the same families, learners and staff, so adding the next one is a setting.

Every part reads and writes the same people.
Layer 2: The parts
Each bought alone, each with the family and learner apps.

The surfaces
Where people work
Five apps on the same school. A school buys parts; its people use whichever of these their work needs.
- The parent app. Free for every family, on the phone they already have: notices, forms, fees, documents and marks for each child.
- The learner app. The day by period, homework, quizzes and marks, with Ask Slooch for a hint when a learner is stuck.
- The teacher app. The register, scripts photographed, suggested marks reviewed and messages to families, on the phone in the classroom.
- The teacher console. The desk version for teachers and heads of department: the assessment programme, setting for the grade, the question bank, the marking queue and reports.
- The school portal. The office, the bursar, admissions, the deputy and the principal, with each part's work grouped by part.
Across everything
Included with every part
Never sold on its own, and never an extra.
Ask Slooch and the Slooch assistant
Ask Slooch gives learners and families a hint or an explanation; the Slooch assistant drafts for staff. Slooch suggests, and a named person at the school approves, releases and decides.
Families reached
Every class shows how many of its families Slooch can reach, and the office sees the count before every send.
Who changed what
Every change shows who made it and when, in every part.
POPIA and hosting
The school is the responsible party and Slooch its operator, under an operator agreement signed before any information is loaded. Live schools are hosted in South Africa.
