Your SZ App home screen is a grid of tiles that take families to the things they use most, like your latest newsletter, the school calendar or an absentee form. You decide which tiles appear, in what order, and which groups families can join.
Select Manage SZ App in the Control Centre menu. The Tiles, Groups and Settings tabs are next to Feed.
