What you get with Announcements

Multi-channel in one step

Choose SMS, email and parent portal together, or just one. Messages stay in sync.

Precise audiences

Send to whole school, a class, a stream, a boarding house or parents with a balance.

Scheduling

Queue messages for the right time, like Sunday evening reminders before opening day.

Templates

Save common notices such as closing dates, trips, PTA meetings and exam timetables.

Read and delivery tracking

See delivered, opened and failed, and follow up with those who did not receive it.

Approval workflow

Let teachers draft and the principal approve before anything is sent to parents.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Staff groups work like parent groups, and you can send staff-only notices.

Parents can set channel preferences in the portal and school-critical messages can still go by SMS.

Failed numbers are listed with the reason so you can fix the number or resend by email.
