Press it, and confirm. The school is added to your home screen and opens like any other app, full screen, with its own icon. On an iPhone, the button shows how: Share, then Add to Home Screen.

Open the app and sign in. On your dashboard, Get told when something happens has a Turn on button. Press it, and choose Allow when your phone asks.
4What you will get
From then on, urgent notices, reminders and news from the school arrive on your lock screen, even when the app is closed. Turn off is on the same card, at any time.

Notifications, in the menu, lists what the school has sent you, newest first, so a message you swiped away is never lost.
