Parent communication
School news parents actually read.
Notices, class news and private chats in one calm app. Only parents and staff your school approves can join, so there are no strangers and no lost messages.
Why not just a WhatsApp group?
Class groups mix important notices with chatter, show every parent's phone number to strangers, and lose messages in the scroll. schoolhouse keeps the official things where parents cannot miss them, and keeps WhatsApp for chatting.
What parents get
- The school's notice board on their home screen.
- Class news and homework from their child's teachers.
- Private chats with their child's teachers.
- Notices in English or Hausa.
What teachers get
One place to reach the parents of their class, see how many have read class news, and keep chats with parents separate from their personal WhatsApp.
Safe by design
Every parent asks to join and the school approves them. Children have no accounts. Anyone can block or report a message, and the school can remove anyone who breaks the rules.
Questions
Do parents need to share their phone numbers with each other?
No. Parents only see the school and their child's teachers, not other parents' numbers.
Can parents read notices in Hausa?
Yes. Any school notice can be read in English or Hausa.
Does it replace our WhatsApp group?
Many schools keep WhatsApp for chat and use schoolhouse for official notices, homework, results and fees.
