Parents Upload Files. You Stay Organized.
Give parents a simple, mobile-friendly way to submit student documents to SchoolNIMBUS Cloud. No more email attachments, no more lost paper forms. Just upload, categorize, done.
The Document Collection Nightmare
Most schools still collect student documents through email, paper forms, or in-person drop-offs. It's chaotic, insecure, and incredibly time-consuming.
Email Overload
Staff spend hours sorting through email attachments
Lost Files
Parents resend documents multiple times because they get lost
No Organization
Files scattered across email, shared drives, and filing cabinets
Security Risk
Sensitive student data in unsecured personal email inboxes
No Tracking
No way to know what is missing or who submitted what
