- An event organiser's best friend
Imagine managing events by interacting effectively with your schools community and increasing parental engagement
Organising and managing events is a key aspect of school and PTA life, whether they are Christmas parties, plays and recitals, fund raising activities, or PTA and parent / teacher meetings. Not only is setting up and running each event time consuming and pressurised, but it is also an ongoing logistical and administrative challenge to keep all the participants in the communications loop.
Today’s parents are all very busy with many using email and the internet on a regular basis for business and leisure. Schools can take advantage of this by making effective use of the internet to celebrate and promote their work to the community, increasing engagement between parents and families with the school, involving them in children’s learning and extending interest and knowledge of the hard work that connects the classroom to the wider activities of the school and home.
Because EventElephant is completely online, it improves the interaction between parents, families and the wider community. Not only will teachers or administrators be able to email details on school trips or activities directly to parents, but everyone involved also get real transparency on what and when is happening, and on what they need to do with regards to it. The communication process between the school and the home becomes much more efficient with parents able to authorise their child’s event participation in plenty of time, and then pay for it online with the secure credit card process. With EventElephant there is no need to rely on paper, word of mouth or cheques, adding a new dimension to the crumpled newsletters kicking around at the bottom of school bags.
