Also, it would help to include an option that translate messages for parents. I also hope to see an option added to communications that allows a time for the message to be selected instead of simply a date. > > Our school has been using SchoolCues for a few years now. We find that it is easy to use and is great for keeping student records, attendance, distributing permission forms, and so much more. Parents utilize SchoolCues to check their children in and out for the day, communicate with teachers, and input important information prior to their child's start date (Photo Releases, Emergency Contacts, etc). They can also access the school handbook and a directory of school staff, ensuring all pertinent information is at the tip of their fingertips. We are launching our first year of summer camp, and being able to use SchoolCues for these additional students gives us peace of mind. It will be an easy transition for alumni, and an easy to use inferface for new families. ----- ### "Improvements in school communication and great features\!" — 4.0/5 > **Heather** | *6 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about SchoolCues is the ability to place all documents, such as our handbook, permission forms, newsletters, etc. for our school in a "box" that the parents can refer to at any time. The ability for parents to send notes for sick days and tardies has saved our parents a lot of time, and it is sent to us immediately and marks the student's attendance accordingly\! The incident reporting features for conduct, medication administration and praise is a great tool to have since all teachers can see a copy. The ease in getting volunteers for events or parties (no more links and logins to Signup Genius\!) and being able to see a report of who signed up for what, and the overall ability to communicate with parents has been terrific. I also like that calendar features can be set for different groups for after school clubs and parents can simply select a calendar with a drop down menu. I love that we have the entire school's parent contact information on our phone in the app for situations, such as field trips. There are many things our staff, teachers, and parents have enjoyed with our switch to SchoolCues. Enrollment and inquiries for enrollment is so much better than what we were using before\! > > **Cons**: I think the billing/invoicing parents could be a little more straightforward and simple, and I think overall training is lacking. When going through training, there were never "what-if" scenarios or examples given in training. It was honestly more "click this, click that"--which would already be intuitive to most users. The grades feature has been a learning curve for our teachers with some frustrations along the way, but nothing that was too difficult to work out. > > Our overall experience with SchoolCues has been positive. They are responsive to assisting with any needs, although at times explaining an issue via email can be frustrating. Being able to place a call would be so helpful. They have taken the initiative to reach out to me by phone, and that has really been appreciated. Everyone at the company is extremely pleasant and it has been a good experience. We have used SchoolCues for less than a year and are currently going through reenrollment. I know as time passes we will see fluidity in using the system and improvements along the way. There has been some confusion at times, but, overall, we've received positive feedback from our parents. ----- ### "Pretty bad platform over all, not dialed down on many issues." — 1.0/5 > **Estera** | *19 January 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like having parent teacher interaction, any type of electronic form and the payments on the same platform > > **Cons**: The customer support is terrible, the payments are so hard to maneuver and they are very robust. not easy to work with...just frustrating, Quickbooks way easier to use for payments > > Pretty tribble, too bad we missed the window of getting our money back, otherwise we would've gone back to quick books, we did that already for communication, we went back to Bloomz.... ----- ### "Great Service and Support" — 4.0/5 > **Amy** | *12 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love all the modules and the options to select modules appropriate to my school. I love the user friendly layout of the website as well. I find the pricing extremely reasonable for all that comes with School Cues. Best value for the amount of services offered. > > **Cons**: The app seems to need more refinement. Lag time can be lengthy and the interface seems slow. I also wish the calendar was printable and that different font colors could be used on the calendar as well as simple graphics/emojis > > My experience has been great\! The trainings are informative and the team at School Cues is always available to answer questions and/or provide support. \[sensitive content hidden\] are both so kind and truly make you feel like a name and not just a number. Families seem to navigate it well also. I actually haven't had one complaint from parents this entire year\! ----- ### "SchoolCues is the answer you're looking for" — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *3 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very comprehensive software that offers so many valuable modules, all with ease of use. We have been very happy and highly recommend this management software\! > > **Cons**: There was not one feature we didn't like or use with SchoolCues. What I liked least was the module associated with alumni because I don't think we used it correctly. > > We have used SchoolCues for 3 years now and plan to continue with it. For small schools, it provides everything we need and then some. Each year, we have added more options. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/186391/schoolcues?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/186391/schoolcues) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
