Xpressions Login

Xpressions is a free service that lets users receive messages from their school. Schools can also allow parents to get in touch (for free) via Xpressions if they wish to do so. Users can access their account either via the app or from the website.

The app is available to download from the ios.png iOS App Store and Google_Play_Store.png Google Play Store. Ensure that users are running an up to date operating system on your mobile device.

All users can also access their Xpressions accounts via the website: xpressions.groupcall.com from an up to date internet browser.
