Announcements lost in group chats
Class suspensions and reminders buried under stickers and side conversations in unofficial Messenger groups.
Teachers using personal numbers
Staff fielding parent messages at 10 PM on their own SIM, with no record the school can stand behind.
"Did they even see it?"
Circulars sent home in envelopes and hoped for — no delivery, no read, no follow-up.
Teachers and parents talk — the school stays in the room.
Every conversation includes school staff by design. No personal numbers, no untraceable side channels — a professional record of every exchange, delivered in real time to the parent's app.
