Easy-to-use tools that deliver immediate value
With school co-curricular programmes taking on more activities and responsibilities, often with limited resources, it’s become harder than ever to manage student and parent engagement effectively across everything your school does.
Involve School Portal is the all-in-one platform that finally makes it easy to see everything in one place, as well as organise clubs and activities, track participation, and streamline communication—keeping students, parents, and staff informed every step of the way.
