A School Mobile App
Parents and students often lead busy lives with
full schedules. With the growth of smartphones,
mobile apps are a perfect solution to stay
organized.

Classroom Management Software
It is important for schools to have effective,
customizable software while keeping costs to a
minimum. Classroom management software can
provide a range of abilities and features,
depending on the schools individual needs. This
software is ideal for keeping a classroom
organized and running smoothly.

• Software such as LanSchool can
• Track student progress
• Allow students to privately request additional
  help in the classroom when needed
• Effectively administer distance education classes
• In computer education classes or classrooms where
  students use their own laptop or computer,
  teachers can monitor what students are viewing on
  their own screens, limit what they can access,
  and even report inappropriate use
• Send messages and chat with individuals or groups
  without disturbing other students in the classroom

According to the National Association of School
Psychologists, 160,000 students per day stay home
form school because of bullying. Bullying can
cause a number of psychological problems in kids
including depression, anxiety, and even eating
disorders. It can also encourage kids to seek
acceptance by joining a group or a gang that
participates in the bullying of their peers,
leading to a potential future of criminal
activity and violence. When a school
participates and encourages anti-bullying
programs, they will see more students come back
to school, a reduction in violence, fewer
emotional issues in their students, and da
positive reputation in the community for taking
control of a devastating and widespread issue.

Extra Help For Students
Childhood comes with challenges like finding
friends, self-confidence, and peer pressure. The
ability to learn is another challenge for some
students. Many children are faced with different
types of learning disabilities, and if schools
took the opportunity to cater to these challenges
to create a learning environment that built on
their strengths and offered additional help, you
would see children who might have been viewed as
otherwise challenged start to thrive. Aside from
disabilities, there are students who are simply
challenged in certain subject areas. Not all
families can afford tutors for their children,
and it would be ideal for schools to provide
opportunities for students to get extra help and
attention so they can achieve the same level of
excellence as their peers.

• A school garden can have many benefits for
  elementary aged (or even older) children and
  gives them the opportunity to apply textbook
  information to real life in a fun, hands-on way.
• Children can step outside of the classroom, get
  some fresh air, and have fun while learning.
• Gardens teach about the cost-effective, healthy
  eating habits.
• Children gain ownership and a sense of
  responsibility over their school garden. It
  teaches the basics of subjects like biology
  through plant growth and ecology through insect
  and habitat discovery.
• A garden gives kids something to be proud of.
• It gives parents the opportunity to see the
  fruits of their childs labor and become more
  involved and connected with their education.
