Stop repeating yourself to parents

The slip that never came back

The permission slip, the non-uniform day, the fundraiser, “can two parents help Friday?” — it all drowns in a class chat that pings all day, and you're sending the same reminder four times. Then a slip's still missing the morning of the trip. Parents need one place with the dates, the forms, and the must-reads that can't be missed.

Here's what your board looks like

How it works

1. 1
   Post the date or form once

   The trip, the deadline, the slip — pinned where every parent can find it, not lost in chat.
2. 2
   See who's seen the must-reads

   Add your class list and each must-read shows who's read it — so you chase only the parents still outstanding, before the deadline, not after.
3. 3
   Calendar and forms on the shelf

   The term calendar, the permission slip, the class contact list — pinned at the top, always there.

Questions

Do parents need an app or login?

No — one link and a 6-digit code, they type their name, done. Nothing for busy parents to install.

Can I see which parents haven't seen a notice?

Yes — add your class list and a must-read shows who's read it by name, so you nudge only the ones still to see it before the slip's due.

Is it free for our PTA?

Yes — Knowtepad is free for parent and community groups.
