Showing Parent messages in the Inter-College portal.

Communication that actually reaches parents

Paper circulars get lost. Diary notes go unread. Inter-College delivers messages where parents actually look.

Announcements with a priority

Mark a notice low, normal, high or urgent, attach a file if it needs one, and post it. An emergency notice reads differently from a routine one.

It lands in the parent app

Everything posted from the portal appears on the Notices tab of the app and on the portal dashboard. Parents read it when they open the app — nothing is pushed to a locked phone.

Posted from wherever you are

An admin writes a notice in the portal; a teacher can post one from the mobile app between classes. Both write the same notice board.

Homework travels the same road

A teacher sets homework with a subject, a due date and their own description, and the child's parent sees it in the app under Academics.

How it works

Three steps to never lose a message again.

01

Write the notice

Title, message, a priority from low to urgent, and an attachment if there is one. Nothing to configure first — the notice board works from the day your school is created.

02

Post it

One action. The notice goes onto the school's board and stays there until you deactivate it or its expiry date passes.

03

Parents read it in the app

It appears on the Notices tab of the parent app and on the portal dashboard for staff. There is no separate phone list or WhatsApp group to keep up to date.

Channels we don't sell as finished

Email for announcements

Only one email genuinely leaves the platform today: the password reset. The wider email machinery — SMTP provider settings, HTML templates, a per-recipient log that retries on failure — is written and has endpoints, but there is no screen in the portal that drives it, and posting a notice does not email anybody.

Audience targeting

A notice carries an audience — everyone, parents, staff, students, or one class — but the platform does not yet filter the board by it. Assume every signed-in user at your school can see every notice, and do not put anything on it that only one group should read.

WhatsApp

Code exists to send template and free-text messages through Meta's WhatsApp Business Cloud API and to record delivery and read receipts. There is no screen anywhere to enter the WhatsApp credentials it needs, so in practice nothing can be sent. Backend groundwork, not a feature.

SMS

There is a table ready to log SMS and a provider named in our settings. There is no sending code at all. No SMS goes out.

Push notifications

Nothing is pushed to a locked phone — not a notice, not an absence, not a fee due date. Parents see new information when they open the app. The delivery step is a stub we have not written yet.

Automatic reminders

The platform sends nothing on a schedule. There are no fee reminders, no absence alerts, no exam-result notifications, and no scheduled or bulk sends. Anything that goes out, someone at your school posts by hand.
