> Parent–teacher chat is planned for Scoolin, after parent logins: in the app, not on personal numbers, open to the school, and teachers keep their evenings.

## How parent chat will work.

We have planned it carefully, because it touches teachers’ evenings. Here is the plan.

### Planned

- **The parent opens the app.** The child’s class teacher is already there.

- **They write.** A question about a test, a leave or a note home.

- **The teacher replies** in the hours they set. A message at night waits for the morning.

- **The school can see it,** so nothing said is off the record.

### No personal numbers

Teachers won’t share their own numbers, and parents won’t need a class WhatsApp group.

### Quiet hours

Messages outside a teacher’s hours wait. A message sent by mistake can be taken back within 15 minutes.

### Parent logins first

Chat needs parents to sign in. That comes first, and chat follows.
