Operoo

Operoo began as a forms and communication platform for schools and has become SchoolStatus Forms and Flows, now part of the SchoolStatus suite of products. Customers in the United States can continue to log in as usual during the transition. Earlier text also linked the product to the name CareMonkey.

Digital forms in place of paper

Schools build online forms for registration, admissions, staff onboarding, reimbursements and approvals. Forms work on any device and support more than 130 languages, and they can collect signatures, images and documents. Automated reminders and follow-ups keep families informed. The company's pitch is that paper forms cost schools money in printing, filing, re-keying data and chasing missing information, and it says an average school saves a large sum each year by digitizing.

Excursions, trips and approvals

Field trip management includes internal approval workflows, online parent consent, response tracking that shows at a glance who has replied, and online payment.

Health information and incidents

Medical and emergency contact data is kept up to date and is available to teachers instantly, including offline through a mobile app. Staff can log injuries, accidents, illnesses, behaviour and house points from their devices as events happen.

Payments, clubs and messaging

Fees, trips, school gear and senior dues can be paid online, and a news messaging system reaches parents by email and SMS. Sign-ups for clubs, sports teams, bands, choirs and after-school activities can be managed with forms and dues collected online. Operoo cites a large city education department using the forms to register every student on time and a regional education service cutting thousands of emails by digitizing referrals.

Operoo's earlier messaging also described tools for schools to manage staff, incident reports and extracurricular activities, and the product serves schools and school districts with parents using mobile apps or the web.
