School notices

Paste a school notice and DO picks out the dates, what to bring and what needs a reply. It reads on this device, follows DO’s school rules (it never guesses a missing year) and asks nothing about your child. Leave children’s full names out of what you paste.

Kia ora [teacher or school office], [Child’s first name] ([class or room]) will be coming to “Room 9 trip to the Otago Museum” on Friday 20 November 2026. The signed permission slip is coming back with them. Ngā mihi, [Your name]

Placeholders stay in square brackets. You send it; DO never does.

Through the DO school pipeline

Dated, timed events become DO school rows, checked by DO’s own parser in Pacific/Auckland time. DO compares rows like these when a school sends a revised notice, so a changed time or place is caught.

Room 9 is visiting the museum | Whole school | 20/11/2026 | 09:15 | ? | scheduled
Swimming starts | Whole school | 30/11/2026 | 11:00 | ? | scheduled

DO’s parser read 2 rows; 2 dates left out (no time, or year not confirmed).
