Their customer support is unparalleled. Prompt responses and willing to resolve all concerns. Whenever you need something incorporated in the program, they are here to make it happen. We are extremely satisfied with this program. 2. Access to school data is easy and quick. It could be Attendance, Class lists, Communication to Parents, Report Cards, Integration with Google Classroom, Loom or generating data in multiple formats. Simplicity is the hallmark of this program. Teachers and administrators love the ease which which you can navigate the program. The refrain is " It is so easy and simple". 3. Flexible for each school and your particular needs. We went into Corona shutdown with a degree of calm because we had an excellent tool to communicate with parents. 4. Instead of parent receiving a hundred emails a day. they received a single daily digest which enabled parents to navigate their children's work in a consistent, clear and manageable manner. #### Cons What we have used - we have been happy with. Some processes need tweaking. However, there is always a work around which customer support has provided! #### Reasons for choosing ParentLocker We found the numerous modules that were within PL were sufficiently independant.

Ultimately, as the year unfolded, we were able to use more modules as we mastered each one. #### Reasons for switching to ParentLocker Ease of use.
