LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- FACTS, a
Nelnet company and leading provider of service and technology
solutions for private K-12 schools, today launched FACTS Family
App, a new mobile application that allows private K-12 families to
access student information, receive communications, and make school
payments through their phone.
FACTS Family App's sleek design provides easy navigation
throughout the app – allowing parents to quickly access the
content, tools, and communications they need. Plus, the app's icon,
name, and visuals are school-branded, not FACTS-branded.
"We're incredibly excited to see FACTS Family App make its debut
in the market," said DeeAnn Wenger,
president of FACTS. "From the outset of the project, our goal was
to create a mobile application that was simple in design
and robust in offerings – and that's exactly what we
delivered."
FACTS Family App easily integrates with several key FACTS
products, including FACTS Student Information System (SIS), FACTS
Giving, and FACTS Premier Billing. Schools using FACTS SIS and
Premier Billing, for example, can offer their families the
opportunity to view attendance, homework, and make payments through
FACTS Family App.
Though the app was developed with parents in mind, teachers will
also find the tool useful. FACTS Family App makes parent
communication easy, allowing teachers to post grades, assignments,
and classroom announcements within the app. Teachers and
administrators can also send push notifications to all app users at
once, or target them based on location or school-created tags.
"We developed FACTS Family App to be a holistic solution for
K-12 schools and parents," said Jeremy
Penner, FACTS director of product development. "It's like an
on-ramp for everything that parents, teachers, students, and
administrators need to be active members of the school
community."
The app is available for iOS and Android users, so schools who
sign up for the app can be confident that they aren't leaving any
families out. It's currently priced at an annual rate of
$499 per school plus $4.80 per student per year.
