Skool Loop continually updates and maintains a high level of online security to create a communication app that parents, students and teachers can safely use.

For security reasons as a part of our two-factor authentication, you will be logged out of your app after a period of inactivity. By saving your log in details in your browser, this will help you to quickly log back in and resume your task.
There are no log in details required for the app on your smartphone. If you, as a school staff member want to log into your Skool Loop Console to send information via your app please contact us for further assistance via our online chat.
We do not store users personal details and therefore cannot provide a list of who has viewed a notice but if the school has enabled the “reply” function on the message, you can request a reply/receipt of acknowledgement from app users after reading the notice.
The app sync’s with your phones ‘native calendar’ allowing you to see both school and personal events, the purpose of this is for parents to see potential clashes in their diary (only you can see your personal events). You may notice that your personal events are shown with a Blue/Purple dot and your school events are a Red/Pink dot. You are able to turn this off in the permissions section of your phone settings.
The onboarding process is simple and can take as little as 20 minutes. Our dedicated team are available to guide you through the entire process from booking form to app launch. We also have video tutorials explaining each function and how to make the best use of all features.
