Forty groups, no owner
Personal teacher groups, no record, no quiet hours — and a teacher’s own number shared with 400 strangers.
PUPILCONNECT · THE FAMILY DESK
Sent on Monday. On Friday, a father at the gate says nobody told him.
Sent isn’t the same as understood. Give each grade one desk number, send in each family’s language, and follow with a one-tap “understood?” Try it on one section and see who understood by this evening.
This evening: who read, who understood, who has a question.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
You know the notice was sent. Not whether it landed.
Teachers run personal groups after dinner, the front office forwards PDFs, and a worried parent’s message waits unread until it reaches the owner as a complaint. The school counts messages sent. Families count replies that never came.
The circular in one language
It reaches the father’s phone. The grandmother who does pickup reads Kannada or Urdu.
The scene at dispersal
A small worry waits three days for a reply, then arrives loudly at the gate.
HOW IT WORKS
Send once. Know it landed. Close every worry.
One desk number per grade. Software drafts and translates, and says so; a named person signs and answers. A blue tick is not an answer.
1Draft
Write once in English or Kannada; a labelled draft appears in each family’s language.
2Send and check
Sent from the grade desk outside quiet hours, followed by a one-tap “understood?” within a day.
3Raise something
Any question or worry becomes a ticket with one owner and one date.
4Close and tell
Closed only when the family says “resolved”. Each month, “what you told us” goes home.
PupilConnect · PupilCircleDidn’t understand? That family hears from a named person, not a forwarded PDF.
THREE WAYS TO START
Three ways in. Each ends with a family that replied.
Start with one section, move one grade with us, or have our desk team carry the daily load. Your staff sign every answer.

MAKE IT YOURS
Annual Day moved? Families hear it in the principal’s own voice.
ONLY AT YOUR SCHOOL
Your principal, speaking each family’s language
The principal records five minutes, once. Key announcements go out as a short voice note in her voice — Kannada, Telugu, Urdu, Hindi or English, chosen per family. Her written consent, an “AI voice” label on every clip, and her approval on each.
- Her consent first, revocable anytime
- “AI voice of the principal” on every clip
- Emergencies stay human, and in text

Default: 9 pm–8 am, two school messages a week. You set both.
Your PTM rhythm
Slots, durations and prep notes that match how your teachers meet families.
WHY IT GETS BETTER EVERY TERM
Every closed worry makes the next notice clearer.
What families tell you shapes what you send next: fewer notices, plainer words, and patterns spotted before they turn into complaints at the gate.
It learns from your own families’ replies, so each notice needs fewer follow-ups than the last.

WHERE IT LEADS
Once families answer, you’ll see who else wants to talk.
If your own register points somewhere new, we’ll show you the maths. Whether to act is up to you.
WHEN YOU NOTICE
Two-thirds of families tap “understood” within a day, four weeks running.
ChittyTHE MATHS · AN EXAMPLE
e.g. 40 teachers × 30 minutes a week × 40 weeks = 48,000 minutes, or 800 teacher hours, a year
WHEN YOU NOTICE
Ten or more enquiries a month from new families land on grade desks.
Pupil JoinTHE MATHS · AN EXAMPLE
e.g. 15 enquiries a month × 6 months × 40% now unanswered = 36 more enquiries answered a season
WHEN YOU NOTICE
Leavers’ families and former students write in 20 or more times a term.
Alumni & communityTHE MATHS · AN EXAMPLE
e.g. 20 batches × 15 claimed profiles × 10% willing = 30 alumni mentors
A WORKING SCHOOL · BALLARI · SINCE 2001
We answer our own school’s parents too. Here’s what we promise.
PupilTree is a school group in Ballari before it is software, so we built the desk we wanted at our own gate. Founding schools shape it with us, on founding terms, with a simple way out.
Founding terms
Founding-school pricing, held for three years.

Who in Class 6 didn’t understand your last notice?
Upload one section’s contacts and send your next notice. The same evening, you’ll know who read it, who understood, and who needs a person.
