What Riverside House School uses Slooch for

  • IEBGrade 4 to 8 on Slooch

    Assessed through the Independent Examinations Board, in the Intermediate and Senior Phases.

  • Messages

    Message a teacher or the office about your child. Every conversation names the child, the person and the topic.

  • Register

    Teachers take the register on Slooch. If your child is marked absent, you can explain it in the app the same day.

  • Fees, bursaries and exemptions

    Statements and payments, and applications for a bursary or a fee exemption. Only the finance office and the committee that decides see an application.

  • Marks and reports

    A mark reaches you only once a teacher releases it, with feedback and a next step. Term reports arrive as a PDF.

  • Forms and consent

    Consent, medical and contact forms, with a receipt when you submit. A form stays on your list until it is done, not just read.

The Slooch apps

Which one you use depends on your role at Riverside House School. Each opens once you have signed in.

Put Slooch on your iPhone

Slooch installs from Safari, so there is nothing to download from the App Store. It opens full screen, like any other app.

  1. Step 1: Open this page in Safari

    Go to riverside.slooch.app in Safari, the browser with the blue compass.

  2. Step 2: Tap Share

    The square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Step 3: Tap Add to Home Screen, then Add

    Scroll down the list if you don't see it. The Slooch icon appears on your home screen.

  4. Step 4: Open Slooch and sign in

    Use the cellphone number or email Riverside House School has for you. Slooch sends a 6-digit code.

When you sign in, Slooch asks to send notifications; on an iPhone that needs iOS 16.4 or later. A lock-screen preview only says that a private update is available. Marks, balances and medical details stay inside the app.
