You can change the name if you like. Then tap Add in the top right corner.

Want notifications? They only work in the installed app, so install it first, open it from your home screen, then turn notifications on (teachers: in Settings; parents: on the trip page).
Don't see Install app or Add to Home Screen? Make sure you are using Safari or Chrome on an iPhone, or Chrome on an Android phone, not a different browser or a link opened inside another app. On a computer, look for the install icon at the right end of the address bar in Chrome or Edge.
