Hello, Windward! Cool updates to come

Hi there. I'm Zane, and I am the creator of Schoop, a new app designed for Windward Students to organize their virtual learning schedules. If all goes as planned, this app will also be available next year for student organization, whether or not we continue with virtual learning.

How it works

The app is currently web-based and can be accessed at https://schoop.app. Students can register by clicking the "Sign In with Windward" button. Once logged in via Google, they can input their class names and Zoom links or codes. The setup process takes about three to four minutes, but it saves significantly more time even in its first day of use. On the home page, students can view the day's schedule as well as the current period/event as well as the period/event up next. Students will also be able to see a daily quote (chosen at random by Quotable) as well as Windward's Twitter updates to inspire you and keep you connected to the vibrant Windward community.

Cool new features coming soon!

We've gotten a lot of great feedback in the making of Schoop, and trust us, we're listening! Some of the new features coming your way are thanks to students who have requested them. If you have any ideas, please reach out to us; we appreciate any feedback or ideas you may have.

Upcoming Features:

1. Daily schedule emails – Thanks to user input, we have been working on this for a while, and it's coming very soon (expect it after AP exams!). If you opt-in, you will get a clickable version of your schedule emailed to you daily, just like you would get in the app itself.
2. Clubs and other misc. meetings – If you have any Zoom meetings that you attend frequently such as clubs, you will soon be able to pin them to your homepage for easy access.
3. Teacher invites – We are planning on creating a special login page for teachers that allows them to create class invites (with class name and Zoom link) that they can send to their students. Once students receive these invites, they would be able to add the class info into their schedules automatically.
4. Down the line – class notifications (web and mobile) – We plan on rolling out an opt-in system for students to receive notifications a few minutes before their classes start.

We want to hear from you!
