How It Works
Mrs. Harpreet Kaur sends a notice to Navjot's parents in under 60 seconds — from her phone, between classes.
Pick Recipient
Select Navjot Singh from Class 8-A. Choose to notify the parent, the student, or both. The app pre-fills class and section.
Compose Notice
Type a message, tap the mic to record a voice note, or send both. Tag it as 'Achievement' and set priority to 'Normal'.
Send & Push
Notice is delivered instantly. If priority is High or Urgent, a push notification fires to Mr. Balwinder Singh's phone immediately.
Track Delivery
Mr. Balwinder opens the notice at 9:47 PM — readAt logged. He plays the voice note twice — listenedAt + listenCount: 2.
Enterprise-Grade Features
Every feature below is derived from the actual data model — not marketing copy. What you read here is exactly what the system stores, tracks, and displays.
Voice Notes & Text Messages
Mrs. Harpreet Kaur records a 40-second voice note explaining why Navjot needs extra maths practice — no typing, no ambiguity. Teachers compose text, record audio, or send both in one notice.
Read & Listen Receipts
When Mr. Balwinder Singh opens the notice at 9:47 PM, the system logs readAt. When he plays the voice note twice, listenedAt and listenCount update live. Teachers see exactly who engaged.
Flexible Recipient Targeting
Send to the student only, the parent only, or both. Mr. Gurdeep Singh sends a discipline notice to Arshdeep's parents without the student seeing it — or shares an achievement notice with the whole family.
8 Built-In Categories
Every notice is tagged: General, Academic, Behavior, Attendance, Health, Discipline, Achievement, or Urgent. Mrs. Kulwinder Kaur taps 'Academic' to see only study-related notices for Jashanpreet.
4-Level Priority System
Low, Normal, High, or Urgent. When Mrs. Manpreet Kaur marks a health notice as Urgent, parents get an instant push notification with a red badge — cutting through every other app on their phone.
Smart Inbox Filtering
Parents toggle 'Unread Only' to catch up after a busy day. Teachers filter sent notices by category tabs — jumping straight to Attendance or Achievement without scrolling through weeks of history.
Live Engagement Analytics
Each notice card shows totalRecipients, totalRead, and totalListened. Mr. Amarjit Singh sees that 28 of 32 parents read his PTM reminder — and follows up with the 4 who haven't.
Permission-Controlled Access
Only staff with the mobile_teacher_send_direct_notices permission can compose notices. The principal controls who communicates with parents — class teachers, subject teachers, or coordinators.
Complete Audit Trail
Every notice is stored permanently with timestamps, read status, and audio metadata per academic year. During PTMs, Mrs. Harpreet Kaur pulls up the full communication history for any student in seconds.
8 Built-In Notice Categories
Not free-form tags — structured categories baked into the database schema so every notice is filterable, countable, and reportable from day one.
General
Daily reminders, circular updates, PTM schedules
"PTM on Saturday 15th March — 9 AM to 1 PM"
Academic
Test results, homework feedback, study guidance
"Navjot scored 92/100 in Maths unit test"
Behavior
Classroom conduct, positive behavior, concerns
"Simranjeet helped a junior student today — well done"
Attendance
Absence alerts, late arrivals, leave tracking
"Gurpreet absent for 3rd day — please send medical note"
Health
Health incidents, medical needs, wellness checks
"Harleen complained of headache — resting in sick room"
Discipline
Serious conduct issues requiring parental follow-up
"Please discuss mobile phone policy at home"
Achievement
Awards, competition wins, outstanding performance

Urgent
