At our school we have a drop off/pick up service and having the parents be able to sign their child in/out on their phones helps our driveway run smoothly. When we have needed to close the school early due to weather conditions, we were able to send an alert to parents very quickly. I have even sent alerts from my phone when I was away from the school. Cons We have had some issues over the years with some functions not working at different times, but the QManager team has always responded quickly and done their best to make changes when needed.
