App modules

Announcements

Announcements are your class noticeboard — the place where the teacher and committee share what matters most, so you never miss anything important.

Announcements can be created by the class owner, an administrator, or a moderator.
Urgent announcements stand out at the top of the list.
Pinned announcements stay visible in the side panel.
You can comment on announcements and add reactions.
You can see stats: announcements per month, likes, and comments.
You can copy a link to a specific announcement and share it with others.
You can get a notification on your phone when a new announcement is posted.

Calendar

The calendar keeps all your class dates in one place, so you can see what's coming up at a glance.

A monthly view with events marked on it.
A list view showing upcoming events in chronological order.
Events are added by an administrator.

Events

Events gather everything happening in the class over the year and make it easy for parents to share the prep — no chaos, no endless group chats.

A list of upcoming events grouped by month.
Create events with a date and start/end times, or mark them as "All day".
The form requires a name and date; times are validated unless the event lasts all day.
In the "Class organisation" section, parents can sign up and describe what they're bringing.
An administrator or moderator adds shared tags (e.g. cake, water, fruit) for parents to tap. Any parent can also type their own item that isn't in the tags and join.
A participant view showing each person's name and what they're preparing.
A direct link lets you share a specific event.
Events are created by a class administrator or moderator.
Past events are hidden from the list automatically.

Attendance

When creating an event, an administrator can ask people to confirm whether they're coming. Parents answer with a single tap — "Yes" or "No" — and you can see at a glance who's attending.

A summary with the number of people attending and the number who declined.
Administrators and moderators see the full list of responses with names.
Export the attendance list to CSV or PDF — the button is visible to administrators and moderators.
The PDF includes a header with the event name and date, a summary, and a table of names and statuses.
Handy for documenting meetings, trips, and class events.

Schedule & extra activities

The schedule shows your child's week — lesson times, substitutions, cancelled classes and extra activities, all in one view.

A weekly plan with start and end times for every lesson.
An administrator can edit the plan — adding, removing, and changing lessons.
On a computer the plan is a table; on a phone it's a day-by-day list.
Changes such as substitutions and cancelled lessons live in a separate tab.
Notifications when the plan changes.
Extra activities (e.g. English, sports, clubs) appear alongside the main grid, with their days and times marked.
A parent can mark which extra activities their child attends — visible only to them.
The dashboard shows the current or next lesson, plus that day's extra activities.

Days off & school holidays

Parentoo knows when days off and holidays fall, so the schedule won't show lessons that aren't happening — and you instantly know it's a day without school.

On days off the schedule is hidden and replaced with a "No classes today" message.
During holidays the app shows a "School holidays" message instead of an empty plan.
The dashboard counts down to the next holidays.
A central list of public holidays and breaks is managed for everyone and always kept up to date.
A class administrator can also add their own days off (e.g. a teacher training day or a full-day trip).
All other modules — announcements, chat, collections, and so on — keep working on days off.

Discussions

Discussions are the place for longer conversations — questions, ideas and decisions that are easier to follow in threads than in a flood of chat messages.

Threads are grouped into a fixed set of topic categories (General, Finance, Trips, Education).
Any class member can start a thread.
Replies with quoting, and nested replies.
Emoji reactions on replies.
Attachments on threads and replies.
Moderators can pin and lock threads.
A direct link takes you back to a specific thread.

Chat

Chat is for private conversations between parents in the class. Messages are encrypted — only you and the other person can read them.

Pick someone from the class member list to start a conversation.
Messages are protected by a 4-digit PIN you set on first use.
Without the PIN, encrypted messages cannot be read.
The server stores encrypted data only — the conversation stays private.
Your chat session stays open for 6 hours after the last message, so you don't have to enter the PIN every time.
You can edit or delete your own messages.
You can add emoji reactions to messages — press and hold a reaction to see who reacted.
Long links are shortened automatically to make them easier to read.
You can attach photos and files (within the class storage space).

Collections

Collections make it easy to raise money for a specific goal — a trip, a gift or a class purchase. Every parent can see how much has been gathered, and the treasurer keeps the payments tidy.

Create a collection with a target amount (per pupil) and a deadline.
Manage payments from the class member list, with changes saved automatically.
Exclude parents whose children aren't taking part in the collection.
Export to CSV and PDF.
The treasurer can send phone reminders to parents who haven't paid yet.
You can see the amount collected, the target, a progress bar, and a breakdown for each child.
The treasurer's bank account number and phone number (for BLIK) are visible to parents, making the collection easy to pay.
The treasurer sets the payment details (account number, phone, an optional transfer title) in the collection settings.
Management is available only to class treasurers.

Class budget

The budget is the class treasury made transparent: one balance, a full list of income and expenses, and a record of what the treasurer has done. Every parent can see where the money goes.

The current class balance is visible to every parent — a tile shows the account's current state.
The transaction list shows income, expenses, the date, title, category, and who recorded each entry.
Categories with an icon and colour (e.g. Gift, Flowers, Trip) — defaults plus the treasurer's own.
Receipts attached to expenses as photos — up to 10 per transaction, with thumbnails in the list.
Filters by date range and category, with a summary of total income, expenses, and net balance.
A yearly settlement shows how much each parent paid during the school year and how much was due.
Export the transaction list to CSV (a button for the treasurer).
The dashboard has a shortcut with the balance and recent transactions.
A regular parent can view the balance and list only — adding and editing is for the treasurer.

Polls

Polls are the fastest way to make a class decision or find out what parents think — no counting votes in the comments.

Three poll types: Yes/No, single choice, and multiple choice.
Polls can be anonymous or public. In public polls a "who?" button sits next to each option.
A voting deadline sets when the poll closes.
Each option shows a percentage progress bar — results update in real time.
The creator or an administrator can close and delete polls.
Polls can be created by moderators, administrators, and the class owner.

Photo Gallery

The gallery holds shared albums from school events. Only parents in the class can see the photos — they never go anywhere outside it.

Any class member can create an album and add photos to it.
You can upload many photos at once. The app shrinks them so they don't take too much space (max. 2 MB).
Smaller previews load faster thanks to automatic thumbnails.
Browse photos in a grid and open them full screen — on a phone, swipe between photos.
Each photo shows who added it.
Only a moderator, administrator, or class owner can delete albums; a photo can also be removed by the person who added it.
Deleting an album removes every photo inside it — this can't be undone.
Inappropriate photos can be reported with the flag button; the report goes to the moderator panel.
Album covers and photo counts are shown in the list.
Photos count toward the class's shared storage.

Shared view

Have children in more than one class? The shared view shows them all on a single screen — no more switching back and forth between classes.

A tile for each child with their current lesson and next event.
Unread announcements and new threads from every class, in one place.
A shortcut to active collections with a progress bar.
Handy when your children are in several classes or schools — it saves switching back and forth.
Available from the side panel (the grid icon) and on the dashboard.

Notification settings

You decide what you want to hear about — notifications are set separately for each class, so you only get what genuinely matters to you.

The bell icon in the top-right corner opens the notification panel.
Clicking a notification tied to a specific item (announcement, thread, collection, poll, photo) takes you straight to that content.
General notifications — e.g. from the school treasurer or an administrator — open in a pop-up with the full message.
Click the gear icon in the panel to configure your preferences.
For each class separately you can turn on or off: new announcements, comments, schedule changes, and urgent announcements.
Changes are saved automatically (there's no "Save" button).
Urgent announcements always get through, even when regular announcements are turned off — they're critical.
On your phone you can also enable notifications in your device settings.

Class Meetings

Meetings keep your class gathering dates in one place, and once a meeting is over you can add the minutes so no one misses what was agreed.

Create a meeting with a date, time, and location (room/building).
A class administrator or moderator can add minutes after the meeting.
Minutes can be published as an announcement on the class board.
A view of upcoming and past meetings.
Minutes show the author and the date they were last updated.

Parent Council

The Parent Council is a private space for parents on class committees and the school presidium — somewhere to work calmly, away from all parents. You can post updates, comment, and share files, separate from announcements visible to the whole class.

The Parent Council page shows schools where you are on a committee or presidium, and the groups available to you.
The "General" group is school-wide — visible to all class committee members and the school presidium.
Each class with a committee has its own board — only that class committee can see it.
The school administrator can create groups that combine several classes, e.g. "Years 1–3".
Posts can include a title, text, and up to 10 attachments. Comment and like counts are shown.
You can reply to posts (with quotes), add reactions, and attach files. Long posts can be expanded or collapsed.
You can edit or delete your own posts and comments. "Share" copies a direct link to the post.
The school presidium can publish a post from the "General" group as a school-wide announcement — it then appears in every class.
Only members of a given group receive notifications about new posts.

Parent presidium

The parent presidium is the school's three-person team: chair, vice-chair and treasurer. Committee members can elect them by vote or assign roles manually — no paper ballots, no counting by hand.

Council roles (chair, vice-chair, treasurer) are separate from roles on a class committee.
The current presidium is shown on the "Parent presidium" card in the Parent Council module.
Voting lasts 7 days. If everyone votes earlier, it closes automatically.
Every class committee member in the school can vote for candidates — separately for each role.
Results update in real time: vote counts appear next to each candidate.
A progress bar shows how many eligible members have voted.
If there is no council yet, any committee member can start a vote. Once a council exists, only the chair can.
The chair can also assign roles manually, without a vote.
If 6 people reject the vote, it is cancelled.
The chair (or any committee member when there is no council yet) can remove an active vote.
When voting ends, roles are assigned automatically to the candidates with the most votes.
When a vote starts, all committee members get a notification in the app and on their phone.
