If children’s achievements are recognised and supported by their family and friends they feel worthwhile and if they feel worthwhile they are much more likely to have a better chance at success. Findings from the study done by ’Must Try Harder’ using data from the National Child Development Study suggested that policies aimed at improving parental effort could be effective in increasing children’s educational attainment and that “parents’ attitudes were most important, making more of a difference to the children than schools themselves.”

• Share your School’s Vision: Involve the whole community in sharing the school’s vision, encouraging everyone to participate and work together to achieve it.
• Take your projects to the whole school community: Communicating virtually ensures the community has access to information and the opportunity to respond and engage.
• Showcase activities & achievements: Involve the community, let them take pride in their school’s achievements.
• Maintain active engagement with parents and teachers: Reach isolated and minority individuals and groups. Inclusion is key to bridging gaps in order to dispel myths and misunderstandings.

An Irish company, Appiercom Ltd was founded in 2012 by Declan Hayes and Ray Boyce. Declan a dedicated digital media and internet professional with over 20 years’ experience in managing IT-related businesses. His story is one of product innovation and the development of strategies to support them.

Ray, a graduate of Limerick School of Art & Design, is a creative Graphic Designer with excellent digital skills and up-to-date knowledge to design solutions with high visual impact. Ray has extensive experience in developing digital solutions using a variety of online media including, web design, design for mobile, branding and illustration. Ray has a passion for great design and is a bit of a perfectionist.

Declan’s daughter’s primary school, Donoughmore NS, approached Appiercom to see if we could help them address their school to parent communication issues. Working closely with the school team and board of management, an app was developed and refined over a nine month period before being launched in February 2016.

Our challenge was to help the school team to communicate more effectively with each other and with parents, while significantly reducing administration costs. The school was able to use our technology to strengthen the partnership between the school and home.

The project was so successful, and the school so happy with it, that the Appierschool app was developed and adopted by more schools in the region.

Appierschool is now the leader in school communication software, helping schools to communicate more effectively with parents while saving money daily.
