ParentNotices helps State Departments of Education and regional education organizations ensure that their districts and charter schools' staff can easily and efficiently standardize, distribute, organize, and track their most important parent communications — in parents’ native languages — and maintain compliance with ESSA and Civil Rights requirements while improving language access.

ParentNotices and messaging apps can be used together to facilitate improved parent and family engagement that enables two-way communication between the sender and the notification recipient.
ParentNotices works alongside districts' existing parent engagement applications (Remind, ParentSquare, PeachJar, and more) as a compliance resource for federal, state and local policies and Civil Rights requirements for Limited English Proficiency (LEP) families.
Parent engagement requires flexibility – and enabling parents to take action at the time and place that is most convenient for them. Our software enables flexible, parent-defined delivery on any device or on paper if needed.
Parents can store signatures and sign forms on any phone, computer, or tablet.
TransAct RoadMaps® provide staff and administrators with a custom report on required or recommended action items for Parent and Family Engagement requirements under ESSA.
Civil Rights case law dictates that qualified, trained translators complete translations. Machine translations, bi-lingual staff, and unqualified third-party translators put your districts at risk of a compliance finding.
All ParentNotices notifications are translated by certified translators trained in K-12 terminology and written in plain language so you don't have to worry about non-compliant or inaccurate translations being sent. Districts can provide compliance reporting in just a few minutes during a monitoring visit.
