CDL NEWS APP

Our easy-to-use smartphone app is the best way to keep in touch with the latest news, events, and updates at CDL, and for Secondary Parents, to notify the academic teams of your child's absence.

You can read any news updates immediately, browse them later, or simply use the app as a source of useful links, contacts and information. News all straight from your phone or tablet, making life simpler.

You'll see, it's easy and user-friendly!

Please follow the instructions to install the app. Please swipe the images to find guidelines of the app features.

If you have any questions, get in touch with our App Team at apps.dev@cdl.ch.

You can find CDL News app in the App Store for iOS and in Google Play for Android.

To register, all you need to do is click on the REGISTER button on this first screen. You will need to authenticate with either the mobile or email contact details we hold for you on the school system. We recommend registering using your mobile number rather than email as this means you do not have to leave the app in order to get your security code. Though you can also register using your email address, this will mean you ll need to leave the app in order to retrieve your 6-digit code. Select which method of authentication you wish to use and click NEXT.

Now enter your mobile phone number and click NEXT again. As long as the mobile number or email address you have entered matches the one we have on the school system you will now receive an email (you may need to check your Junk Folder if this does appear straight away in your Inbox) or text message with a 6-digit code. Enter this code into the app and click NEXT.

If you are using an Apple iOS device and registering by mobile number then you can just tap the 6 digit code displayed at the top of your number pad and the phone will automatically populate the numbers – alternatively, you can enter these manually and click NEXT.

On the left, you can see the navigation bar, which shows you all the features the app offers. You can access this by clicking on the 3 lines next to "Home" on your home screen. Here below, you will find details of each of the features.

Notices, updates, blogs, and other useful information are curated in one place in a format that is simple and looks great on your mobile device.

Push notifications reach you as quickly as a text. You will only receive information that is relevant to you and to the ages of your children.

By swiping left you can tap the little heart and add a notification to your favourites. Once you have added it, you will find it easily under your favourites folder. You can easily navigate through your UNREAD, FAVOURITES and REMOVED folders.

Our calendar is easily accessible and automatically updated. You can also quickly add events to the personal calendar on your phone or tablet in just one step.

The calendar is colour coded, each colour highlights which section the event is for.

Here we share all additional information that include our social media platforms, our term dates, the different platforms we provide for our students, our alumni platform and our app user guide.

The forms provided under this section are for you to inform the school about any change of contact information, as well as for you to provide feedback about the app. For Secondary Parents, this is where you must notify the school in case your child is going to be absent.

You can find every CDL email or phone number you may need in your contacts list, as well as the school's address, phone number, email, website and map. Of note, the information remains at school-level at this stage.
