Is your child entering kindergarten? Do you want to get to know the other parents in the class? Do you have custody problems for the next school holidays? The My ShareEcole.com site allows you to share information between parents in the same class and to help each other throughout the year. Two watchwords: anticipation and organization. Decryption with Caroline Thiebot Carriere, founder of the site
Connect parents to each other
Is your child new to school, school holidays are coming and you don’t know what to do with your little princess? What if you used the parent relationship site ! Thanks to its various features, you can easily anticipate the daily organization of your toddler’s school life. Once registered, you get in touch with the parents of other classmates. It is ideal for exchanging practical ideas or even managing children’s schedules outside of school time, such as the canteen, extra-curricular activities or the absence of a teacher at the last moment. “I discovered the MaShareEcole site at the start of the last school year and since then I have logged in almost every day. I have two children, one in CP and the other in CM2. With the parents of the class, we share all the homework and we communicate with each other in the class info feed, it is much more user-friendly than sending emails and very practical because the children very often forget a notebook ” , details Valentine, a mother registered on the site since the start of the 2015 school year. “2 schools and 000 parents are registered throughout France. It’s really super ! », Underlines Caroline Thiebot Carriere, the founder. The site was opened in April 14.
For parents of the same class
First of all, thanks to the “Parents” directory, each of them can display their last name, first name, email address, telephone number and photo. It is even possible to extend its visibility to classes of an entire grade or school. “It all started when my own daughter returned to kindergarten. I didn’t know anything about what was going on there. I was working a lot at the time, I dropped her off in the morning and returned home at 19 p.m. In the end, we didn’t know each other between parents, ”says Caroline Thiebot Carriere. The main advantage of the site is to be able to exchange views and contact other parents in the same class without really knowing them. This offers a number of very practical advantages. “I found parents from the school who live next door and with whom I share the trips to school in the morning or after school. We take turns and that saves me a lot of time, I run less. It’s reassuring that they are parents from school and we bump into each other every day of the week », Testifies Valentine, mother of two children in primary school.
Better monitor the child’s education
In the “News feed” section, it is possible to view the latest information from the class, very quickly. Another strong point: homework. The idea is to be able to share the lessons from the textbook and the homework with the whole community of parents in the class. Another section called “Help” helps parents with emergencies like a school strike the next day, a sick child or being late. Same story for the schedule. If a change is made at the last minute or a sports class skips, parents can communicate with each other. “Parents delegates also find it an advantage: quickly transmitting the necessary information to other parents in the class”, adds the founder.
Parents organize themselves
Working parents often have one idea in mind: how to organize the time between work and home? Thanks to certain features, families easily manage the care of their child upstream. Baby-sitting with big brothers or grandparents, nannies are recommended between parents. “The site can also be very useful for finding shared custody with a school family,” explains Caroline Thiebot Carriere. Parents also appreciate many tips for extra-curricular activities for children, tested and approved by other families. Another advantage is taking turns for the canteen. “I also share lunches with other parents at school, which means that our children don’t have to eat every day of the week in the canteen. We take the children in turn for lunch on Tuesday. I do two Tuesdays a month, the children are delighted and that also strengthens the bond between the parents, ”says Valentine. “Another feature that works well is the right business corner. It all started with the idea of a mother who emptied her wardrobe at the end of the school year. In this section, parents give or sell a lot of things to each other! », Explains the founder.
A great help for the school holidays
It’s one of the times of the year when parents really need a helping hand to get organized. Two months of leave is no small feat. Especially when you’re working. “There are a lot of exchanges during the school holidays, including in summer: group visits, joint activities, etc. Children have a lot more holidays than their parents and not all of them go to their grandparents. Families can stay in touch, plan childcare days, swap children! », Concludes Caroline Thiebot Carriere, the founder.
