Sonar Tracker: How do I get started with the Sonar JoinUp Bundle?

Overview

This article comprises demonstrations about using the additional Juniper apps included within the Sonar JoinUp Bundle.

The Sonar JoinUp Bundle includes:

  1. Sonar Tracker - the same trusty pupil assessment and progress tracker you've always relied on
  2. Portal - your gateway to logging in and managing permissions for your Juniper apps
  3. Juniper MIS - the central data hub which holds the information synchronised from your own MIS.  If you'd like to switch using Juniper MIS directly, just get in touch - it's included in your bundle!
  4. Comms Hub - a comprehensive messaging platform that you can use to manage communications with your school community, whether they are emails, text messages, or app notifications.
  5. Awards & Activities - this enables teachers to share positive, engaging feedback about pupils with their families through the Juniper Parent App.

While this information helps you get started with the Juniper Apps included in your bundle, we recommend following our more detailed courses which are available in the Juniper Training Centre.

  1. Portal.
  2. Awards & Activities for Administrators.
