For schools
Class and school updates without another app
Families already juggle a dozen school apps and portals. A follo reaches them in one simple list, and by email on paid plans, with no new login to remember.
How it works for you
-
Create a Group follo per class or school
A teacher can have one for the class; the office can have one for the school.
-
Send it home
Print the code in the newsletter and the back-to-school packet.
-
Send the day's news
Reminders, meeting changes and snow days.
Example messages
Room 12: reminder
Field trip forms and five dollars are due Friday.
Lincoln Elementary: meeting change
Parent night moves to the gym because of the turnout.
Lincoln Elementary: cancellation
School is closed today for snow. Stay warm.
Where the QR code goes
The weekly newsletter, the back-to-school packet and the classroom door.
Put the link on the class page so new families can follow mid-year.
Why one-way fits
School news is one-to-many by nature. A one-way update avoids reply-all storms and keeps parents' contact details away from other parents.
What follo is
follo is a one-way notification service that lets people follow a person, business, product, event, group, property, waitlist, or other subject through a link or QR code and receive updates from its owner.
