Monitoring the attendance graph, tracking the academic performance, spotting the late entry, keeping a tab on child’s strengths and updating the scores on the marks sheet are now made easy.
With an idea to bring transparency into the system and provide a better platform to keep the parents posted of in-house activities, P.E.N. School has recently launched two mobile apps – a school app that connects parents and the school management and an ‘ANS’ app that helps teachers reduce duplication of work.

Featuring profile and contact details along with term-wise score graph, among several other components, the school app is an easy-to-use mobile application. It focuses on providing all the relevant information to the parents about their wards without actually stepping into the school campus.
“The cost-effective solution aims at connecting parents with their children most of the time and view the relevant information of the student anytime they wish to by just logging on to the app with a user ID and a password,” says Divya Tej Pereira, vice-chairman of the school.
At present, the Chennai-based Inspace Technologies Private Ltd designed apps for Android mobile phones and over 3,000 parents across four branches have uploaded the free app. “It’s a useful tool to trace where our child is lagging behind and for which subject he needs more attention. This apart, we can also plan our leave in advance by viewing the school calendar which is accessible on the app,” narrates D. Pradeep, a parent of Class IV student.
A few other parents also felt that such close monitoring system would aid instil better discipline among students.
