Communication

Clear, targeted, centralized messaging between everyone involved in school life: teachers, administration, and parents.

The composer's “Add a section” palette: appointments, forms, documents, events and discussion.

One communication, as many sections as needed — added with a click from the composer.

News and announcements

Publish information to the whole school or to specific classes, with images and deadlines.

Forms

Surveys and questionnaires (multiple choice, single choice, free text) that parents, teachers, and the school administration can answer. Exportable results.

Appointments

Offer meeting slots and add the appointment right inside the communication, exportable to calendars.

Documents

Attach letters, PDFs, schedules, or forms, with in-app preview.

Discussions

Open a group or private discussion tied to the communication, in writing or by voice message, and close it whenever you want.

Scheduling

Schedule your messages

Prepare a communication and set the date and time for automatic delivery. Teachers can schedule their own messages too.

Scheduling dialog for a communication: date and time of the automatic send.

Tracking

Read confirmation

For important messages, ask parents to confirm they have read it, and see at a glance who has.

Read tracking for a communication: every recipient with a read, confirmed or unread status.

Conversations

Discussions tied to a communication

Allow replies as a group or in private, keep the full history, and close the discussion whenever you want.

A discussion thread on mobile: a message from the teacher, a parent's reply, and the field to answer.

Participation

Interactive forms

Add a questionnaire to a communication. Families answer in three screens from their phone, and you export the results in one click.

On a parent's phone: the communication as received, its attachments, and the form to fill in below.

Appointments

Parent-teacher meetings without the back-and-forth

Offer time slots, parents tick their availability from the app, and you assign each meeting with one click. Everyone finds theirs in their agenda.

Appointment grid: students in rows, time slots in columns, the availability ticked by parents and a star on the assigned slot.

Absence Management

Transparent and automated absence tracking between parents and school. No more paper forms or phone calls.

Two kinds of notice: illness, or a request for leave
Ongoing illness tracking
Unjustified absence alerts
Clear statuses: illness reported, return to confirm, justification requested, accepted, or declined
Instant notifications to parents and teachers

List of absences to process: student, class, reason, duration, proof and status.

The decision bar of an absence record: student, class, type, date and duration, status, then the refuse, request proof and approve actions.

Every record is settled from its own page: approve, refuse, or ask the parents for proof.

A parent's phone: their child's absences being processed, one with a certificate requested by the school, one sick leave in progress.

On the parent's phone: the same requests, with their status.

Dashboards to stay on top of it all

A school-wide overview for administration, a focused view for every teacher.

Teachers

Keep up with your day

A teacher sees only their classes: their absent students, the absences they have to approve, their drafts and scheduled sends, their recent discussions.

Principals and office staff

Run your school

Today's absentees, cases awaiting a decision, sick leaves with no return announced, communications sent: the state of the school on one screen. Every figure leads to the people behind it.

A teacher's dashboard: their students absent today, absences to process, communications and recent discussions.

Classes and courses: subjects, timetable, rooms and the teacher in charge

Saved recipient lists for communications
Data carried over from your current software (CSV, Excel or API), Excel exports at any time

Frequently Asked Questions

What we're asked most often before a demo.

Can Schoolinked integrate with our existing school management software and import our data?

Yes. Students, classes, parents and teachers are imported without double entry: by file import (CSV, Excel) or through a tailored connector using our open API. We look at integrating with your current school management software together. You can switch at any point in the year, and the Polyright team supports the migration.

How do you handle families with shared custody, multiple children, or grandparents involved?

Each child can have multiple reference adults (separated parents, step-parents, grandparents). A parent sees all their children in a single interface, even if they are in different classes or schools. Absence notifications and important messages can be sent to multiple recipients automatically.

What about parents who don't have a smartphone or who aren't fluent in the school's language?

Schoolinked works in any web browser (computer, tablet, smartphone), so installing an app is optional. The interface is available in French, German, Italian, and English; each parent chooses their language independently of the school's.

How much does Schoolinked cost, and who pays: the school or the parents?

Schoolinked is billed to the school (or the municipality or canton), never to parents. Pricing depends on the number of students, with volume discounts. The app and web portal are free for parents and students. Ask for a quote based on the size of your school.

How long are data and conversations retained?

Data is kept for as long as the child is enrolled at your school, plus a configurable legal archiving period (typically 1 to 5 years depending on the canton). After that, data is anonymized or deleted. You keep full control: a retention policy your school configures, exports available at any time, and hosting in Switzerland, or even on your own premises.
