This is not a moderated feed, so use your general communication and social media etiquette instincts. Content should be related to our school community (i.e., no advertising). Also, many members rely on Google Translate to translate the content, so please keep language brief.

We have a unique opportunity to shape and build this tool.  Please email Deena @ dminwalla@gmail.com or use the feedback tab.

Click here to view how to login and create your profile using your real full name and photo. It’s important that we can clearly identify each other to create community. Add your child and partner so that our community can get to know families. Add your child’s photo.

In Settings, you can change the frequency of email or push notifications.

Scroll down in the Settings window to select your preferred language. Your posts will automatically translate to other members’ preferred language settings.

Bookmark the site in your web browser  of your PC or Android device for easy access. There is an ios app you may download here. Select Allow Notifications in Settings so notifications push to your phone. 

Note the locations of the Search and menu differ from web browser to app.

Click here to view how to post. Keep posts short with simple language  for more accurate translations.

Click here to view how to change your notification settings per group. Go to Settings (upper right menu on web, upper left menu on app) to adjust the Email Frequency settings. We suggest the Low or Normal setting if you feel there are too many email notifications.

Click here to see how to use the search feature to find a post.  The features below will also help you find a post faster:

• To reduce the posts you see, click the right drop-down menu on posts and select Hide posts you do not wish to follow.
• Select Groups or Categories on the left side of the web browser to filter posts so you only see posts from that group or category.
•  To see delivery statistics on a post you create, click the right drop-down menu on posts and select Dashboard.

After you post you’re starting a new group, form a group from those who comment and express interest. Here’s how. The benefits of creating a group include messaging only the group, adding a third party to the group, and sending volunteer signups to your group as described in the next section.

The Announcement feature allow you to create a volunteer signup or urgent message.  Only Admin can send an Announcement as this feature overrides a users’ notification settings. If you are a parent, request admin access through Deena@ dminwalla@gmail.com.

Click here to see how to create an announcement or a volunteer signup. Unlike posts, you may edit announcements that you create.

Sometimes you may wish to continue a conversation offline. To find a community member’s contact information, check the user’s profile by searching for the user and clicking their name in a post.

Some schools may also have a directory on the right list of links available on the top right of the Home page (web browser. only, not iOS).
