<\/div>

There\u2019s a great new app<\/a> in the app store<\/a> for schools that need to manage host families for students. It\u2019s especially great for schools that have exchange students.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Admins can install the app from the App Store link.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The app lets you track a list of families that have space to accommodate a student over a particular timeframe. Any family can be entered into the system, which means teachers, staff, and other people connected to the school can volunteer as host families for students.<\/p>\n

The app allows you to manage records for host families, their availability, and see the history of when students stayed with them.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Keep a database of host families<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Planned accommodations for students can also be viewed and edited from the app.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Manage students’ stays<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When a student needs to be accommodated, the app allows for searching the host families listing to find availability.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Search the Host Families listing for availability<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We hope this app helps with keeping track of accommodations for students and for maintaining a listing of host families. It\u2019s a great way to manage both long-term and short-term stays.<\/p>\n

Feel free to test it out, and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n
