✅ Parent Checklist & Marketing Resources

1. 📝Parent Checklist

This is a simple 4-step guide that walks parents through how to join the Onespot app. It provides clear instructions on:

• How to sign up for Onespot via Transparent Classroom
• How to navigate to your child’s Dashboard from the home screen
• How to add a payment method to your Onespot app
• How to customize your app experience

🟢 Use this when:

2.📹 App Launch Video

This is a short, high-energy video designed to excite parents and staff about your school app. It highlights key features, what families can expect, and how to download the app from the app stores.

🟢 Use this when:

• Sending a launch announcement email
• Playing at a parent orientation or back-to-school night
• Sharing in school social groups or on your website

3.📄 Launch Flyers

Print-ready flyers that visually showcase your school app on a phone mockup, making it easy for families to see what the app looks like and what it offers.

Each flyer includes a QR code that parents can scan with their phone, instantly bringing them to the correct app store (Apple or Android) to download your app. It also lists the main features available in the app, such as news, updates, access to Transparent Classroom, and more, so parents know what to expect.

🟢 Use this when:

• Handing out flyers at school drop-off or pick-up time
• Including them in welcome packets for new or returning families
• Posting copies on school doors, walls, or your reception area bulletin board

4. 🌐 Custom App Domain

Instead of using a long or hard-to-remember link, your school gets a custom app domain like:🔗

https://schoolname.app

This makes it easy for parents to remember and access your app.

🟢 Use this when:

• Sharing your app link anywhere: flyers, email, social media, or text
• Telling parents verbally or including it in materials
• Printing on signs or school swag (like T-shirts or banners)

5. 📲 Text Blast to Families

Don't worry about copying and pasting links, we’ll send a mass text message to all your families with your app’s link. This ensures every parent can instantly join with just one tap.

🟢 Use this when:

• You're ready to launch the app to your full parent community
• You want to notify families instantly without needing to email them
• You want a strong launch day with lots of sign-ups

6. 📢 Social Media Flyer

This is a digital flyer specifically designed for sharing on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or WhatsApp — anywhere your school community connects online.

The flyer is visually engaging and includes:

• A mockup of the school app on a phone so families instantly recognize it
• Your custom app domain (e.g., schoolname.app ), so it’s easy to find and access

This flyer makes it easy to create buzz about your new app and drive more signups, especially among families who are active on social media.

🟢 Use this when:

• Posting announcements in your Facebook parent group
• Sharing in your school's Instagram Stories or feed
