How do parents and students sign up for Loop?

How often is my contact info updated in Loop?

Are Loop’s features modular?
Yes! We understand that every schools' needs are different. That's why Loop's features such as our Announcements or Message Center, are modular, so you only pay for what you use.
What are automations?
Loop integrates with schools' existing technologies. Depending on the systems you use, we offer a variety of automations. You can set Loop's automations to trigger automatic text and email alerts to be sent to students, parents, and faculty.
For example, you can tell Loop to automatically send parents an email when their child's lunch balance drops below $10. Or send students a text about a missing assignment. It can even create reports to be sent to school administration detailing how grades, attendance, and outstanding payments are trending.
After Loop is integrated within your school, these automatic alerts happen without anyone having to lift a finger. It is like giving everyone in your district a personal assistant!
