Keeping up with school means holding five things at once
Homework, payments, announcements and schedules, often with more than one child. Families want to be there. The hard part is staying on top of it.
Jacko answers them in the same chat
What does Matt need to bring tomorrow?
Card stock and paints for art. It's on your list.
How much have we spent on school this month?
The fee and the supplies. The fee is due Friday and it's already in your budget.
Anything important from school this week?
Two things: pick-up is at 12:00 on Thursday and Family Day is Saturday the 10th.
What time is pick-up on Thursday?
At 12:00, because of a staff meeting. It's in your calendar.
A family's week, with Jacko
One child's exam, the other's supplies, the early pick-up, the school fee and Family Day, all in one place with a heads-up in time. And the school only sees how many families use the programme, never what each one does.

Announcements channel
Reach your families where they actually read
Send an announcement to the whole school, a level, a grade or a class. Each family gets it on the channel they chose, and Jacko answers the questions it raises with the information the school provides.
On each family's channel
WhatsApp, Telegram, email or the web. Nobody downloads anything or creates another account.
Questions, answered
Jacko answers questions about the announcement with the school's information, before they reach the front office.
To the right people
The whole school, a level, a grade or a class.
The school writes, it doesn't read
You see how many received and read it, never the conversations.
Custom integrations
Does your school use a platform? We connect it.
Nothing needs to be integrated to start. When you need it, we build the integration with the platforms your families and teachers already use, to your needs.

Every late fee is a month the school finances
40%
late payment rate on private school fees in Peru in 2024.
Sep and Oct
are the peak months for late payments every school year.
And since a school in Peru cannot make assessments conditional on payment (Law No. 27665), the best strategy is for families never to fall behind.

What each family gets
The Jacko Families plan: concrete help for every part of the week, from a single chat.
School
Homework, exams and supplies remembered in time, for each child.
“What does Matt need to bring tomorrow?”
Their time
Pick-up times, clubs and meetings in their Google or Outlook calendar.
“What time is pick-up on Thursday?”
Information
Sums up school announcements and emails, and flags what matters.
“Anything important from school this week?”
Their money
School fees, enrolment and school costs within the family budget, with a heads-up before they're due.
“How much have we spent on school this month?”
Everyday life
Paperwork, requirements and dates with the source, all organised by child.
“When is enrolment for next year?”
Both parents, on the same page
Each parent or guardian has their own Jacko, and they can share household spending in a shared space.
“I paid the school fee, log it in Home”
No IT project. We start with one level.
No integration with the school's systems. It's activated with a link or a code.

Results
Receives aggregated adoption and usage metrics for the programme.
Families who stay on top are families who stay.
This is what the programme is designed to support.
Fewer late payments
Timely reminders and school fees planned within the family budget.
Communication that gets through
Your announcements on the channel each family actually reads.
Less load on the front office
Jacko answers common questions before they arrive by phone.
Happier families
A distinctive benefit that counts when families decide to re-enrol.
These are the goals the programme aims to support, not guaranteed results.
Each family's life stays their own.
Jacko is the family's personal assistant, not a monitoring or collections tool. The school never sees anyone's conversations, spending, emails or calendars.
- Reports are aggregated and anonymous.
- Jacko only works with parents and guardians. It doesn't create accounts for minors.
- Personal data handled under each country's data protection law.
Let's start with one level
Together we choose a level or a group of grades, activate it in a week and measure usage over the term.
Let's make keeping up with school a joy again.
In 20 minutes we'll show you what Jacko would look like at your school and how we set up the pilot.
