Abstract :
Parents are important for their children´s development; they are the first order socialization agents, who, along with their teachers at school, are important for students´ initial and fundamental learning affecting their personalities and lives. Therefore, we propose a joint action of both, teachers in school and parents as a coordinated and cooperated task related to educational work, so to become flattering and rewarding for students. Therefore, we propose an application that will help parents and students to combine major daily tasks. For students, it will help them in their educational process; and for parents, it will help them to efficiently control the educational process. In result, the tool is specifically designed to improve students´ academic performance, and possibly affecting their future leaning paths.
