My Feed · The private school social feed

A feed your families love. A network your school controls.

My Feed gives your community the familiar, scrollable experience they already know — photos, celebrations, reminders, and news — inside a private, branded environment that your staff controls: never on the public web, never in search results, never part of the social-media machine.

Why a feed?

It feels familiar — but it’s built differently

Families are used to quick, visual, bite-sized updates. That habit isn’t going away — so School Courier brought the format to school communication and left the rest of social media behind. No ads. No algorithm. No influencer culture. No public drama. Just your school’s life, shared by your staff, seen by your families.

What your community gets

Private access

Your feed lives inside your school’s app — never on the public web, never indexed, never scraped. You choose the front door: open public groups for community reach, or a fully code-gated app where nothing is visible without your school’s code.

School-controlled membership

Public groups open with one tap; private groups require an 8-digit passcode or a join request a leader approves. Every member is someone your school let in.

Posts worth a thousand newsletters

Staff publish rich posts with photos in seconds — the field-day recap, the championship celebration, the science-fair winners. Families can comment underneath, with parent and student comments held for a leader’s approval.

Writing Help built in

Four polish modes — more detail, clearer & warmer, shorter, grammar — clean up every post before it goes out, then translate it into 10 languages with one tap.

Announcements that land

Posts arrive as push notifications on iOS and Android, even when the app is closed. No inbox to dig through, no algorithm deciding who sees it.

Your brand, your app

Your logo, your colors, your school’s name on the icon. Families open your app — not a vendor’s.

Personalized

Every family follows exactly what matters to them

My Feed is organized by groups — classrooms, teams & clubs. A parent follows their children’s worlds; a grandparent follows the varsity schedule; a staff member follows their own building. Everyone’s feed is personal, so nothing important gets buried.

  • One-tap subscribe to public groups like “School News”
  • Private groups for teams, classrooms, and committees
  • Per-group alert controls — mute any group with one tap of the bell
  • Multi-school support: families switch schools without re-logging in

Staff-controlled

Roles keep the right people in the right lanes

Publishing is a staff privilege, not a free-for-all. Teachers post to their classrooms, coaches to their teams, leaders to their groups, administrators school-wide. Want a classroom parent or a student helping out? Make them a Contributor — what they write waits for a leader’s approval before your community sees it.

  • Staff & leaders publish instantly; contributors post with approval
  • Parent & student comments held for a leader’s review
  • Owners set what each role can do, group by group
  • Group leaders approve private-group join requests in-app
  • Students & parents can never message one another
  • Every message tracked & reviewable by administrators

In the wild

A week on My Feed

Monday

The classroom update

Ms. Brooks posts photos from the science fair to her classroom group — with a Google Form attached for next month’s field-trip permission slips.

Wednesday

The big win

The tennis team clinches the conference title. The coach posts the photo from the courts before the bus leaves the parking lot.

Thursday

The booster drop

The Booster Club announces fresh spirit wear in the store — recognized supporters get the credit, and the school keeps the revenue.

Friday

The reminder that lands

Early dismissal at 1:30. The office posts to School News and every following family gets the push notification — no email digging required.

Safe & compliant by design

Every post and message is retained for administrator review. Membership is school-controlled. There is no tracking-for-profit and no outside content. My Feed gives your community the convenience of a feed — with the safety families expect from their school.

Questions

My Feed, answered

Can anyone on the internet see our feed?
Your feed never appears on the public web — no links, no search results, no embeds, no scraping. Inside the app, your school sets the visibility: public groups (like “School News”) are readable by anyone who downloads your app — useful for boosters, grandparents, and prospective families — while private groups are strictly gated by passcode or leader approval. Want everything behind a gate? Your app can require your school’s access code, so nothing is visible without it.
Who can post to the feed?
Staff and group leaders publish instantly — teachers to their classrooms, coaches to their teams, administrators school-wide. When you want a classroom parent, team parent, or student helping out, the Contributor role lets them submit posts that go live only after a leader or the group owner approves. Nothing reaches your community without a staff sign-off.
Is there a comment section?
Yes — inside the group, and on your terms. Members can comment on a post, and comments from parents and students wait for a leader or the owner to approve them before anyone else sees them. The post’s author can switch comments off on any individual post, and a group owner can turn them off for a whole group. There are no comment threads on the public web and no strangers wandering in: everyone in a thread is someone your school admitted.
What if a teacher isn’t a confident writer?
Writing Help is built into the composer: four polish modes (more detail, clearer & warmer, shorter, grammar) clean up a draft in seconds, and a fifth translates a post into any of 10 languages so every family reads it in their own.
How do families control what they see?
Each user follows only the classrooms, teams & clubs they choose, and can mute any group’s notifications with one tap of the bell. A parent with a senior on the football team and a second-grader in Ms. Brooks’ class sees exactly those worlds — nothing else.
Does this replace our public Facebook page?
Many schools keep a public page for outward-facing marketing and move day-to-day family communication into School Courier — where there are no algorithms deciding who sees a post, and no strangers in the comments. What belongs to your community stays in your community.
