ePortfolio
Imagine taking a Frog Site and making a copy of it for every user in a group, then having each copy named and shared just with that specific user. That's what our ePortfolio tool does. Schools are using ePortfolios for project work, digital planners, staff appraisals and many more solutions.
Announcements
Communicate between school and home with the Announcements application. Teachers can send messages to students, their parents and carers and receive replies in return. All messages can be viewed in both the browser and the MyFrog mobile app.
Calendars
Frog's calendar tool gives you the opportunity to manage school events, clubs and parent's evenings in a web-friendly interface. Calendars can be shared with everyone, or access can be limited to specified individuals. Events can be booked and users invited to them. All within the secure environment of Frog.
Timetables
Frog imports all timetable data for teachers and learners directly from the EMS. With Frog's ease of use across devices, this makes displaying the timetable not just convenient but also a simple way to look up a learner's timetable.
My Child's Learning
This application summarises all FrogProgress judgements about your child. You can see at a glance how well your child is doing in each subject and the areas they are struggling with. My Child's Learning shows not only the judgements made but also provides any evidence supporting that judgement and resources to help your child improve.
My Child's Work
My Child's Work is the parent's view of Assignment Manager. It lists all the assignments for each of their children, organised by Open assignments, handed-in and closed. Parents can see when their child is due to complete an assignment by, what they have handed in and the teacher's marking.

MyFrog
For parents, MyFrog combines access to your child's assignments, parent portal and messaging in a free app for Apple and Android devices. Teachers can set assignments and access the school dashboard.
