What you get

Everything included in Communication, explained simply.

Notices with read counts

Publish notices to the whole school or chosen classes, mark them important, attach files and see how many parents have read them.

Announcements

Send a quick announcement to a class, to all parents, to all teachers or to everyone.

Parent–teacher messages

Private one-to-one chat between parents and teachers in the app, without sharing personal phone numbers.

Push notifications

Instant alerts on Android and iPhone for homework, notices, attendance, fees and events. Parents choose which alerts they want.

Events and PTMs

Invite classes to events and parent–teacher meetings, track who attended and collect feedback, with an AI summary of what parents said.

Photo gallery

Share albums of school events with the whole school or one class. Parents browse and download photos in the app.

Documents

Share circulars, timetables and reports with the school, a class or one student, and withdraw them if needed.

Holiday calendar

Import the year’s holiday list once, and it appears on every family’s calendar.
