Features and Benefits

Get a sophisticated look in a simple to build template

With two customizable parent group email templates to choose from and a simple point and click interface, you can create great looking email newsletters and announcements in just minutes. No technical expertise is necessary…simply follow along with the email wizard and your email is ready to send out in no time.

Customize your emails with your own school logo and photos

It's another great way to show your school spirit and pride to your school's parents.

Send a message to all parents or just to a specific group of parents

With Parent Express Email you can create one master email list of all your school's parents as well as smaller lists that allow you to send specific email messages to a specific group of parents.

There’s no limit to the amount of email lists you can use and store in the system.
