Automated ABCmouse Family Progress Notes
Every Monday, WebRun opens ABCmouse, reads each child's activity for the week, drafts a short plain note for their family covering what was finished and what to practise, puts every note on a Trello board for the teacher to approve, and sends only the approved ones to families on WhatsApp.
How do I send parents a weekly note on their child's progress?
Every Monday WebRun reads each child's ABCmouse activity for the week and drafts a short note for their family: lessons finished, progress so far, and one thing to practise at home. Every note waits on a Trello board until the teacher approves it, and only approved notes are sent on WhatsApp.
- Every family hears something specific about their child each week
- No note reaches a parent without a teacher reading it first
- Writing twenty notes becomes approving twenty notes
Built for early years teachers · preschools · tutoring centres · homeschool groups

Questions, answered
Will it message parents without the teacher seeing the note?
No. Every note sits on a Trello card until the teacher moves it to Approved. Nothing reaches a family that a teacher has not read, and any note the teacher holds back is never sent.
Does one family ever see another child's progress?
No. Each note is sent as a single message to the number recorded for that child, never as a group message, so one family only ever sees their own child's week.
What if a child barely used the app that week?
The note says so plainly and kindly, without comparing the child to classmates. The teacher can edit or hold the card back, which is exactly why every note waits for approval.
