2. Meet Bloomz
Bloomz is a new app that helps me better communicate with parents, sending real-time updates from the classroom, coordinating events (PT Conferences!) and requesting for volunteer help.
Why Bloomz?

Saves teachers time

3. Posting updates is a snap!
Send quick updates from the classroom
I can attach pictures, files, add links (e.g. youtube videos!)
Get work done ahead of time by scheduling posts for later

4. It’s great for time sensitive matters
I can pin important announcements for a specific periods of time
Alerts send notifications to both the parents’ phone (TXT or Push Notification) and address – so it’s more likely they’ll read them

1-to-1 or 1-to-Many conversations
I can keep a history of all conversations in one place
