The app uses different types of messages to keep you informed. Each one serves a different purpose.
📰 News
News is used for general updates and nice-to-know information.
Examples include:
- School announcements
- Events and activities
- General updates for parents
👉 News is not urgent and is available for you to view at any time in the app.
🔔 Notifications
Notifications are used for important or time-sensitive information.
Examples include:
- School closures
- Important reminders
- Urgent updates
👉 Notifications are sent to alert you and may appear as a push notification on your phone.
📩 Personal Notifications
Personal Notifications are sent directly to you.
Examples include:
- Messages about your child
- Specific updates from the school
- Requests or information relevant only to you
👉 These are private and only visible to you.
⚠️ Important
- Alerts — they let you know something has been sent
- All messages (News, Notifications, and Personal Notifications) are stored in the app
👉 If you miss a notification, you can still find the message inside the app
💡 Tip
Check the app regularly to make sure you don’t miss any important updates.
