About ParentDeck

Built by parents, for parents.

We’re Andy and Steph. We have three kids in three schools and two school districts. Between them, we get more school, team, and activity email than any family can keep up with.

The email I missed

My daughter’s homecoming ticket sales closed on a Friday night. We found out Saturday morning, the day of the dance.

The deadline wasn’t hidden. It was in a school newsletter, sitting in my inbox with everything else that came that week. The school sent it. I got it. It never made it to the top of the pile.

That is the kind of miss ParentDeck is built to stop.

Why the school apps don’t fix it

Every school, district, and team picks its own tool. District news comes through ParentSquare. Grades and attendance live in Infinite Campus. Sports paperwork comes from FinalForms, team updates from sportsYou, and lunch balances from PaySchools.

Each one does its job well. None of them can see the others. None of them knows that three kids in three schools belong to the same family. So the sorting lands on a parent, usually late at night, scrolling.

What ParentDeck does

You set up forwarding once in Gmail, iCloud, or Outlook.com. ParentDeck suggests which senders to include, and nothing changes in the school apps. From then on, school, team, and activity email goes to your family’s private ParentDeck address.

ParentDeck sorts each item to the right kid, or to the whole family when it’s for everyone. Open it and you see what needs action, what’s today, and what’s coming. Events show on ParentDeck’s calendar next to your school district’s calendar, and you can add a team or activity calendar link too. If you want it, a short email arrives at 6 AM with the day ahead.

When something lands under the wrong kid, you fix it and tell ParentDeck to always sort that sender to that kid. Tell it once, it remembers.

What we promise about your family’s email

Read how we handle your email

You choose what we see.

ParentDeck only gets the school email you send it.

Your email stays yours.

We don’t sell it, share it with advertisers, or put ads in ParentDeck. It is not used to train AI models. The original school emails and your kids’ names are encrypted before they’re stored.

You stay in control.

ParentDeck never replies to anyone or sends email as you. What happens with each item is up to you.
