Why do we need to type in the number of recipients for every single message sent via ParentMail, when the system tells us the number?! Just slows down the whole process. Please remove this function.

Regarding the salutations please can you feed back that not having the option to separate Title, First name and surname in emails is not good. As a school we don’t address parents as Dear John Smith, we would say Dear Mr Smith or Dear John if we k...

On the previous version, we could print letters for parents not on email (we have a small number of parents with no email/access to smart phones) This has gone from the new system - please bring it back. All we can do now is print the letter then ...
