By the time the new school year begins, most parents are chomping at the bit to get their little ones dressed and through the gates. Summer holidays and family bonding time during the festive season break is wonderful, but you\u2019re not alone if you relish quiet mornings at home or the office, without the constant panic that you\u2019ve not applied sun cream or the dreaded “I’m bored” phrase.<\/p>\n

Going back to school, however, comes with its own challenges: uniforms, textbooks, extra-curricular schedules, lifting schedules and the inevitable bake sale means that you\u2019re never without school-related admin. Luckily, there is an app for that! Take a look at these four apps to help you start the new school year with ease.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Karri Payments<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Karri is an app that allows parents to make safe, quick and convenient payments to their schools. So far, they\u2019ve helped over 700 South African schools and community organisations transact via secure, trackable online transfers, thereby eliminating the risks of keeping cash on school premises. The app is available for download on both the iStore and Google Play Store\u00a0and registering an account takes less than a minute. Handy reminders on the platform mean that you\u2019ll never miss a bake sale, civvies day, fundraiser or school outing again!<\/p>\n

    2. Kaspersky Safe Kids<\/a><\/p>\n

    Kaspersky Safe Kids is an advanced parental control app that helps you protect your kids. Take control of your child\u2019s online exploration by managing screen time, blocking adult content and monitoring what they\u2019re viewing on the Internet. The app works across all your devices, PC, Mac, and mobile, to make sure your family isn\u2019t exposed to harmful or inappropriate content.<\/p>\n

    3. LocTransie<\/a><\/p>\n

    LocTransie is a mobile application designed to make it easy for parents to both locate and monitor their child\u2019s whereabouts. It allows parents to find their child and their school transport at any given moment during their school transport route, through SMS notifications. The monitoring of the school transport improves child safety and provides parents with the assurance that children are safely and timeously picked up and dropped off for their daily trips including sports activities and school outings.<\/p>\n

    4. Cozi Family Organizer<\/a><\/p>\n
