School and all communication

Letters, emails and messages from school in a constant stream – here’s how to get your school communication sorted.

How do I keep track of all the school letters that come home?

Copy it down or snap a photo of the letter as soon as it arrives, so the information goes straight into your calendar instead of onto a pile. In Famsy, the AI reads the note and adds dates, times and whatever else is needed, without you having to type anything out yourself.

Can I forward school emails directly to the family calendar?

Yes, just forward the email and important details will be extracted automatically. In Famsy, you can forward emails from school and the AI picks out dates, times and items to bring, then adds them straight to your calendar.

How do I avoid missing parent-teacher meetings?

Add the meeting to your calendar as soon as the time is set, along with a reminder well in advance. In Famsy, you can take a photo of the invite or paste the email from the teacher, and the AI will add the correct date and time straight away.

How do I share school dates with the other parent?

Put everything in a shared calendar so both parents see the same information at the same time. Famsy allows up to ten members on a family account, ensuring both parents stay in the loop with school info, even if living at different addresses.

What do I do with information about school trips and packing lists?

Add the trip to the calendar along with what needs to be packed, so nothing gets forgotten in the morning. In Famsy, the AI captures both the date and the kit list when you snap a photo or paste the information from school.

How do I manage different school timetables for multiple children?

Add each child's school times and events separately to the same family calendar, so you see everything in one place, organised by child. Famsy displays everyone's activities clearly in a shared view, making life easier when your children go to different schools.

Can I ask the app what's happening at school tomorrow?

Yes, with the AI feature you can simply ask the question directly. In Famsy, you can ask the AI "What's happening tomorrow?" and get an answer based on what's already in your family calendar, including school events.

How do I avoid missing key information in long school emails?

Paste the whole email so the important bits are extracted for you, saving you from reading through everything yourself. In Famsy, the AI reads through the email and adds dates, times and items to bring straight into your calendar.

What if the school changes a time at short notice?

Update the event in your calendar as soon as the new update arrives, so everyone in the family sees the correct time. In Famsy, simply paste the updated email and the AI will adjust the details for you.

How can I check the week's school events in advance?

Check the weekly view to see everything related to school well before the week gets underway. Famsy sends a weekly summary every Sunday featuring upcoming events and any potential clashes, including school commitments.

Can my child see the information sent home from school themselves?

Yes, if your child has their own account, they can see school events in the family calendar. In Famsy, child accounts can view all information in the calendar without being able to edit it, keeping control over who can make changes.

How do I get a daily reminder about what's happening at school today?

A daily summary sent in the morning gives you a quick overview before the day starts. Famsy’s morning brief is a daily AI summary showing the day's events, including school activities.

How do I keep information from all the different channels the school uses in one place?

Keep everything in one place instead of scattering details across different apps and notes. In Famsy, you can type, record voice notes, snap photos or paste emails from any channel, and it all ends up neatly organised in your family calendar.
