Post it on the Notice Board and News screen of the web portal, or create it in the Owner App; it then appears in the Parents App. Read tracking shows whether it was seen.
Where do I post a notice that parents will see?
EDUBase has a Notice Board and News feature for announcements to parents and staff. Notices published there appear in the Parents App and the Teacher App, and the school can track who has read them.
A principal or owner can also create an announcement in the Owner App. Notices created there reach the Parents App as well, so you do not need to be at a computer.
What are the steps to publish an announcement?
The process is simple: write the notice, choose who should receive it, and publish. Your screens may show slightly different fields, so follow the prompts on the page.
- Open Notice Board and News in the web portal, or create an announcement in the Owner App.
- Write the title and the message for parents.
- Choose the audience, such as parents or staff.
- Publish. Parents see it in the Parents App.
- Later, check the read tracking to see who has opened it.
How do I know parents have actually seen it?
Notice Board and News includes read tracking, so the office can see whether the announcement has been read rather than assuming it has.
To see which classes are using the app at all, open Parent App Analytics. It shows adoption by class and section, so you know which classes need a push to install and log in.
Can I also send the notice by SMS or WhatsApp?
Yes. Notices, reminders and PTM invitations can go out as SMS, WhatsApp or Parents App notifications. The SMS Blaster lets you send a message to any selection of students, families, classes or staff.
Schools can send SMS through the free SMS Sending App on an Android phone with the school's own SIM, or through a branded SMS gateway. WhatsApp is sent from the school's own number, linked by QR code.
Delivery logs such as SMS Report, Family SMS Report and App Notification Report show what was sent and to whom.
What if some parents cannot open the app?
Parents sign in to the Parents App with a one-time code. If the SMS does not arrive, staff can look up or issue the code in the Parent App OTP Portal. The EDUBase App Links screen gives store links to copy into a message.
The school can also restrict some app features for families with pending fees, but fee details and contact us are never blocked.
Which channel should I use for what?
Use the app for routine notices that parents can read later, and add SMS or WhatsApp when the message is urgent. The table compares the options.
