Frequently Asked Questions
How does it handle difficult emails?
For academic and behaviour concerns it's told to avoid blaming language and stay solution-focused, framing you and the parent as partners rather than opening with a complaint. That framing is what keeps a difficult email from becoming a difficult meeting.
Does it write the subject line too?
Yes. Subject lines matter more than people expect for parent email — a vague one gets opened late, and for a concern email that delay is the difference between catching something early and not.
Will it invent details about the student?
It works from what you type, but AI can fill gaps with plausible-sounding specifics. Read the draft carefully and delete anything you didn't actually say — a detail you can't substantiate in a parent email is a serious problem.
What should I not put in?
Anything confidential: safeguarding information, SEN diagnoses, medical details, or information about other students involved in an incident. Describe the situation in the terms you'd use with the parent, not the terms in the file.
Can I use it for good news?
Yes, and it's worth doing. Pick Achievement / Positive News and it writes something genuinely celebratory rather than the flat template positive emails often become. These are the emails that make the difficult ones land better later.
About Parent Email Writer
Emails to parents are high-stakes and time-consuming in inverse proportion to how much time teachers have. A concern email that lands badly creates a meeting; one that lands well creates an ally. The Parent Email Writer drafts the whole thing — subject line, greeting, body, next steps, closing — for six common situations.
The email type does real work. Behaviour and academic concern emails are written to avoid blame and stay solution-focused; achievement emails are written to sound actually pleased rather than dutiful; meeting requests lead with the ask. Picking the right type matters more than the wording you put in the situation field.
Be specific in that field anyway. 'Hasn't handed in the last three pieces of homework, was engaged in class before half term' produces an email a parent can act on. 'Not doing well' produces one they'll reply to asking what you mean.
Two things to hold onto: read the draft and remove anything you didn't actually tell it, because AI fills gaps with plausible detail and an unsubstantiated claim in a parent email is a real problem; and keep confidential information out — safeguarding, medical and SEN details do not belong in a third-party AI tool. Your input is sent to our own AI server over HTTPS, used once, and never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
