Quick answer for school teams

What is SchoolRelay, and when should your school use it?

SchoolRelay is a phone-friendly home for school communication. It keeps announcements, events, volunteer signups, and key links in one current page families can check fast.

Use it when email threads, social posts, and group chats are creating duplicate updates. One clean link keeps PTAs, PTOs, booster clubs, and school admins on the same page.

Why parents use it

Most school info gets buried.

The flyer is in one email. The signup is somewhere else. The last reminder is buried in a text thread. Parents need one place to check.

What usually happens now

The flyer is in one email, but the signup link was posted somewhere else.

So now you are opening old messages and hoping it is the right one.

The reminder is in the group chat, but the details changed after that.

Then everyone is trying to figure out which version is actually right.

If a parent is checking from the car or pickup line, the answer should be easy to find.

"Wait, where is that signup again?"

What it looks like instead

Parents check one link

The update, date, form, and signup are together. It is easy to pull up on your phone.

You fix it once

When something changes, you fix it there once. That is the version parents see.

One place to check. Fewer repeat questions.

What goes on the page

The stuff parents usually ask for.

Parents can find upcoming events, signup links, reminders, forms, and last minute changes on the same page.

Frequently asked questions

Answers parents and school leaders ask before launch

Is SchoolRelay free?

Yes. The Community plan is free to keep — no credit card and no trial period. It covers one group page, push notifications, and up to 10 announcements and events. Many PTOs and PTAs never need more. Paid plans unlock unlimited groups, email digests, and advanced tools.

Do parents need to download an app?

No. Every school page works in a standard mobile or desktop browser. Parents open one shared link — no app store, no account, no install required. Share it in email, a text, or a flyer and families can check updates immediately from any device.

How is SchoolRelay different from a Facebook group?

Facebook feeds bury critical updates in conversation. SchoolRelay organizes announcements, events, and links in structured sections families can scan quickly. School leaders control what is visible and when. The result is a reliable communication source — not a social feed optimized for engagement over clarity.

How long does it take to set up?

Most teams publish a first version in one sitting. Create the school, add key groups, post an announcement, and add the links parents ask for most often. You can share your school link the same day and build from there.

What is the difference between a PTO and a PTA?

A PTO is an independent parent-teacher organization. A PTA is affiliated with a state and national network with formal bylaws and membership requirements. Both support school families through communication and volunteering — and SchoolRelay works equally well for either structure.

Privacy and security

Built with school privacy in mind

SchoolRelay does not run advertising trackers, does not sell school community data, and is designed around practical school privacy expectations.

We keep communication workflows simple while supporting FERPA conscious handling choices for school teams.

SchoolRelay is intended for parent communication and organization workflows, not for collecting or storing sensitive student records as a system of record.

Read the privacy policy

Give your school families one place to check.

Share one link in your group chat, text, or email. Free to start. No app download needed.
