Communication & portals

Reach exactly the people who need to know, give families a calm place to see what matters, and open every staff member to the tasks that are theirs.

Announcements

The right message to the right people.

Write once and aim it precisely, from the whole school down to a single family. Required notices stay open until they have been read.

What is included

  • Target by school, grade, section, role or individual
  • In-app notifications with email delivery and delivery status tracking
  • Acknowledgement for notices that must be read

Priority

  • Normal
  • Important
  • Urgent

Aim an announcement at

  • The whole school
  • A role
  • A grade level
  • A section
  • One person

Email delivery is tracked as

  • Pending
  • Sending
  • Sent
  • Failed
Messaging

Parent and teacher conversations, with guardrails.

Families can reach teachers in a place the school can oversee.

What is included

  • Parent-teacher messaging with moderation
  • Parents can report a thread, and reported threads are reviewed by authorised staff
  • Reviewing a reported thread or exporting messages is logged as sensitive access
  • Parent requests for absence notes, excuse letters, pickup authorisation, contact changes and appointments
Parent & student portals

Families see what matters, and only what has been released.

Parents with several children switch between them in one place. Students see their own information. Neither sees drafts or staff notes.

What a parent can see

  • A child switcher for parents with more than one child
  • Attendance and published grades
  • Statements and receipts
  • Announcements, event notices and the timetable
  • Messages with teachers, and requests to the school
  • Outcome notices from discipline cases, never staff notes

Students see their own attendance, published grades and announcements.

Dashboards & reports

Every role opens to the numbers and tasks that are theirs.

No hunting through menus to find out what needs attention today.

What is included

  • Owner and principal dashboard: enrolment, attendance today, collections and outstanding balances
  • Registrar, finance and teacher dashboards with “needs attention” lists
  • Reports with CSV export, permission-checked and audit-logged

Core reports with CSV export

  • Students
  • Guardians
  • Staff
  • Enrolment summary
  • Class lists
  • Birthdays
Who uses it

Built for the people who do the work.

  • Parent
  • Student
  • Teacher
  • Principal
  • School owner
  • Registrar
