Messages to parents

Step by step

1Communication

Choose Communication from the menu. Every message is written, then checked, then sent — so nothing goes out by accident.

2Write a message

Press Write a message. You can start from a saved template, or write from scratch: a short title and the message itself.

3Who and how urgent

Choose who it goes to — every guardian, the staff, the students, or one class — and how urgent it is.

4How it is delivered

Then choose how it is delivered. In the app is free and always on. Text message and WhatsApp reach every phone but cost money per message. Email and push notifications are free where they are set up.

5Save as draft

Press Save as draft. Nothing has been sent yet.

6Work out who

Press Work out who. HTT Schools lists exactly who will receive it, on which channel — so you can check before it goes.

7Send

When it is right, press Send. Open shows every delivery: who received it, who did not, and a Retry for anything that failed.

8Emergency

For something that cannot wait — the school closing early — Emergency sends at once on every channel, without the drafting step.
