Silence the Noise.

Informal WhatsApp groups are chaotic and invade privacy. SchoolDeck bridges the gap between home and school with a professional, monitored, and secure Communication Suite.

Why "WhatsApp Groups" Are Bad for Schools?

Relying on generic chat apps creates privacy risks (parents seeing other parents' numbers), leads to "Good Morning" spam, and ensures critical circulars get lost in the feed.

Privacy Breach: Phone numbers are exposed to strangers in open groups.
Information Overload: Important notices are buried under irrelevant chatter.
Zero Accountability: No way to prove a parent actually read the urgent notice.

Official WhatsApp API & Smart Broadcast

Reach parents where they are, but professionally. SchoolDeck integrates with the Official WhatsApp Business API, allowing you to send verified, branded messages without the risk of your number getting banned.

Send messages to the entire school, a specific class (e.g., "Class 10 Only"), or a custom group (e.g., "Football Team") with a single click. The system intelligently falls back to SMS via DLT-approved routes if the user doesn't have data connectivity.

  • Rich Media Support: Send PDFs, Images, and Voice Notes efficiently.
  • Template Approval: Use pre-approved templates to ensure compliance with telecom regulations.
  • Emergency Button: Trigger instant alerts for "School Closed due to Rain" to thousands of parents in seconds.

Digital Circulars & Homework Diaries

Paper circulars inevitably get crumpled at the bottom of a student's bag. Move to a Digital Circular Repository.

Teachers can upload photos of the whiteboard, PDF worksheets, or typed instructions for homework. Parents receive a push notification instantly. The "Circulars" tab in the app acts as a permanent archive—parents can always find the "Annual Day Invite" sent three months ago.

  • Attachment Friendly: Supports JPEG, PNG, PDF, and DOCX formats.
  • Birthday Automation: Automatically sends branded Birthday Wishes to students, adding a personal touch.
  • Schedule Posts: Draft a circular today and schedule it to be released on Monday morning.

Privacy, Control & Analytics

Communication should be a two-way street, but on your terms. Our system ensures strict Number Masking—parents can message a teacher without ever seeing the teacher's personal phone number.

Admins get a powerful Read Receipt Dashboard. Know exactly who opened the circular and who didn't. This effectively counters the "I didn't receive the notice" excuse during disputes.

  • Office Hours Mode: Teachers can turn off notifications after 5 PM to maintain work-life balance.
  • Delivery Reports: Real-time status tracking (Sent, Delivered, Read, Failed).
  • Approval Workflow: Circulars drafted by teachers can require Principal approval before broadcast.

How School Communication Apps Work?

A dedicated School Communication App centralizes all interactions. Instead of scattered emails and texts, schools use a single dashboard to broadcast Multimedia Circulars, automate Homework Notifications, and send Emergency Alerts. By integrating the Official WhatsApp API, schools can ensure high deliverability while maintaining data privacy via Number Masking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the WhatsApp integration official?

Yes. We use the Official WhatsApp Business API. This ensures your number doesn't get banned for bulk messaging and allows you to use verified templates.

Can parents see each other's phone numbers?

No. Unlike standard WhatsApp groups, SchoolDeck is a broadcast platform. Parents receive messages individually and cannot see the contact details of other parents.

Do you help with DLT Registration for SMS?

Yes. Our support team assists you in registering your school's Entity ID and Headers on the DLT platform to ensure your SMS delivery complies with TRAI regulations.
