DigestOS

Weekly School Email Digest for Parents

School communications have never been more fragmented. Your child's school likely sends newsletters by email, posts updates on a parent portal, sends reminders through SchoolMessenger, and occasionally messages through a class-specific platform. Every important notice, theme days, early dismissals, hot lunch deadlines, permission forms, arrives through at least one of these channels. The result: a parent inbox that looks manageable but regularly buries the updates that matter.

DigestOS solves this by working with the email layer that every school already uses. Connect your Gmail, add your school's email senders, and DigestOS delivers one clean weekly summary, everything from the past week, organized and waiting in your inbox.

What Gets Missed When School Emails Stack Up

Theme days discovered the morning they happen. Permission form deadlines that passed while the email sat unopened. Hot lunch orders missed because the reminder arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and was buried by Thursday. School communications rarely feel urgent until they suddenly, obviously were.

Most Canadian schools send 5–10 emails a week across newsletters, teacher communications, and administrative updates. At two or three kids, that's 10–30 emails a week from schools alone, before sports, before daycare, before everything else. The parent inbox isn't broken. It's just overwhelmed.

Works With Every School Email System

DigestOS doesn't require your school to change anything.

If the school sends it to your inbox, DigestOS can read it and include it in your digest.
