One request. Every family hears it.
Email, text messages and automated voice calls go out together, translated into each family’s language. Urgent notices also go up as a banner on every school website.
No app for families to download. Texts, calls and email reach them directly.
All Maple Valley schools are closed today, Tue Feb 3, because of icy roads. Make-up day: Sat Feb 14.
Write it once. Reach everyone.
Say what families need to know
Type the notice, or describe it: “tell Roosevelt families that picture day moved to Thursday.”
Pick who gets it
The whole district, one school, one grade or one bus route, using the fields in your family list.
Choose the channels and send
Text, voice call, email, a website banner, or all of them. Each family gets it in their language.
When minutes matter.
Weather closures, delays, early dismissals, a water main break. The notice goes out on every channel at once, so no family hears it second-hand.
- Text messages to every family’s phone.
- Automated voice calls for families who don’t text.
- Email in each family’s language.
- A banner on every school website, so the first place families check says the same thing.
Picture day moved to Thursday, Oct 9. Students can wear their uniform or club shirt.
El día de fotos se cambió al jueves 9 de octubre. Los estudiantes pueden usar su uniforme o la camiseta de su club.
Ngày chụp ảnh được dời sang thứ Năm, ngày 9 tháng 10. Học sinh có thể mặc đồng phục hoặc áo câu lạc bộ.
تم نقل يوم التصوير إلى يوم الخميس 9 أكتوبر. يمكن للطلاب ارتداء الزي المدرسي أو قميص النادي.
Written once. Read in their language.
Each family’s home language comes from your family list. Announcements and newsletters are translated for them, so you never send a notice in English only because there wasn’t time.
- Newsletters without the scramble. Ask for Friday’s newsletter: it pulls in the week’s events and news for you to approve.
- Groups that match your schools. District, school, grade, team or bus route.
- One family list. Import it from a spreadsheet export of your student information system.
Every way families listen.

Messaging questions.
Which channels can we send on?
Email, text message and automated voice call, plus a banner on your school websites. Send on one channel or all of them from the same request.
Do families need to download an app?
No. Texts, calls and email reach families directly on the phone and inbox they already use.
Can we message just one school, grade or bus route?
Yes. Pick the group from the fields in your family list: district, school, grade, team, route or any other field you keep.
How does translation work?
Each family’s home language comes from your family list. Announcements and messages are translated into that language before they’re sent.
How do we get our family contact list in?
Import a spreadsheet (CSV), for example an export from your student information system. Re-import it whenever families or phone numbers change.
