A routine that works for you
How to optimise your Teachers2Parents routine
Parent Push is a personal assistant for school updates - actually important to you.
Parent Push can help with school updates that reach your connected email inbox. Choose words such as “after-school club”, “parents’ evening” or “trip”.
Matching emails can bring a WhatsApp alert. Text messages and updates that stay only inside the school app are not covered.
A little more room in your day
Keep using the school’s app for replies, payments and bookings where available. Parent Push helps you notice matching emails—not reserve places.
Teachers2Parents help for parents
Why are Teachers2Parents notifications not working?
Check that your phone allows notifications for Teachers2Parents. Ask school to confirm the mobile number saved for you and which messages it sends through the app. Features depend on what your school uses.
Which app should I use for Teachers2Parents?
Use the app named in your school’s instructions. Some schools now use the Eduspot app for school messages and SchoolMoney. If you are unsure, ask the school before setting up another account.
Why is a child missing from my school app?
Check that you used the contact details your school has for you. Ask the school to check those details and the children linked to your account. Eduspot’s parent help also has a missing-child guide.
How do I keep up with school messages during a busy week?
Use the app your school recommends and check dates before replying. For messages also sent to your email, Parent Push can send matching WhatsApp alerts. It cannot read school texts or messages kept only in the app.
Still stuck? Your school office can check missing invitations, children and school payment items.
