How to Keep Parents Engaged During School Trips

Planning a school trip takes time, effort, and a lot of logistics. But one of the most common challenges teachers face is keeping parents informed and reassured while they’re away. Here are a few simple but effective ways to keep parents engaged using Group Memories:

  • Create a Private Group Before the Tri
    Invite parents to join a private, secure group where they can receive updates and photos. This helps build excitement and gives them peace of mind from the start.
  • Share Moments in Real Time
    Encourage staff to post a few photos or short messages throughout the day. Parents love seeing their children having fun and being safe.
  • Highlight Key Milestones
    Did your group reach the top of a mountain, finish a workshop or attend a cultural event? Share the moment with a quick photo and a one-line update. 
  • Use the Keepsake Video as a Summary 
    At the end of the trip, the auto-generated highlight video acts as a memory for students and a beautiful gift for parents. 

Tip: Keep updates light and positive. You don’t need to share every detail.
