Currently, parents have to manually add entries into their calendar after reading emails, browsing portals and searching websites – mistakes happen, and information is missed
“I would add it to my phone diary as often as this stuff is done on the run. At home I would file the email under the subject matter but that got more and more frustrating over the years... Different school departments choose different ways.”
“I would put emails in folders and add red flag. But you could easily spend an hour a week doing that, if not more. I had 3 diff schools it was a shit show”
"I had a whiteboard at home so the kids and other carers have visibility and use phone calendar this was good but it was hard to maintain and keep"

The School Calendar Assistant is free for schools and parents! And the better organised parents are, the less admin work is required by the school, saving your school money and time.

Quick for Schools to Onboard
It's quick to set up. Easy to get the school started. You don’t need to integrate new software. Teachers can access the app for visibility of their year's calendar. Admin staff can see all years for complete visibility.
myWhānau School Calendar Assistant is the next generation school parent app that automatically sources information directly from school emails, portals and websites, adding them as entries into parent’s calendars.
Each parent sees entries relevant for their child/ren’s school years.
We include everything that the school communicates to parents, from newsletters to read, to forms to be completed, school events to attend and events to RSVP. We add what to do, where to go and links to the original information.
Gone are the days of constantly reminding parents. myWhānau automatically creates deadlines and reminders, along with push notifications. Parents will be notified what they or their child needs to do on any given day. No more missed deadlines!
Task entries like “complete form” and “register to a particular school event”, can be marked by Parents as done when actioned. This tick is private to them and stored only on their device.
Users are verified by schools and App is password protected.
