See it in action
Whether it’s school-wide announcements, real-time updates on student behavior, or a summary of what’s happened that week, Minga keeps families in the loop automatically, so staff spend far less time on outreach.
Three Ways to Keep Every Family in the Loop
Real-time notifications
Families are notified the moment a behavior, tardy, or consequence is logged, so they hear about it the same day, not weeks later.
Announcements
Share school news from the home feed with parents by email in the same step, so updates reach inboxes instead of getting lost in backpacks.
Weekly summaries
Every Saturday, each family gets a personalized email of their student’s week: time out of class and hall pass destinations, praise and guidance, consequences, points balance, and flex activities attended.
The Difference
Families Usually Only Hear When It’s Serious. Minga Keeps Them in the Loop All Year.
Reaching out to families takes time staff rarely have, so most updates only happen when something is already serious. Minga keeps families informed every week, good news included, without anyone having to find the time.
