Feature
The school newsletter builder built for teachers
Pick a template, fill in your week's news, and send. Parents get a real email that opens right in their inbox. First newsletter done in under 5 minutes.
Built for how teachers actually work
No blank page, ever
Every new newsletter starts from a template or last week's issue. Your header, footer, and school branding are already there. You just fill in the content.
Add any content type in seconds
Type / and pick what you want to add: event card, image, bullet list, poll, RSVP, button. It appears right where you are typing. No drag-and-drop, no sidebar to browse.
It speaks teacher, not marketer
The app says "parents" not "subscribers." It says "send newsletter" not "launch campaign." You should never need to learn new vocabulary to send a newsletter.
First send in under 5 minutes
This is a hard product constraint, not a marketing claim. If it takes longer, something is broken.
Looks right on every phone
The editor shows you what parents see on their phones by default. There is no separate mobile preview step and no formatting to fix after you send.
Pick up where you left off
Your most recent newsletter is always at the top of the dashboard. One click duplicates it. Your school header and footer are already in place.
AI that writes from your voice
Describe what happened this week in text, or hit record and just talk. The AI transcribes your words and writes a complete newsletter draft. No setup, no options to configure.

How it works
Set up your school profile once
Enter your school name and set up your profile. Every newsletter you create inherits this automatically. You never configure it again.
Start from last week or a template
The dashboard shows your recent newsletters first. Duplicate one and update the content, or pick a starter template. You never start from a blank page.
Add your content or let AI write it
Type your updates directly, or open AI Draft and describe what happened this week in text or by recording your voice. The AI writes a complete first draft in seconds. You review, edit, and send.
Send to your parent list
Import your parent email list from a CSV in under 2 minutes. When you hit send, every parent gets a fully formatted email that looks right in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
Inbox delivery
Real email, not a link to a webpage
Most newsletter tools send parents a link. Parents open the email, see a link, and have to tap it to read the newsletter in a browser. Half of them never bother.
Daystage sends a fully formatted HTML email. Parents open it and the newsletter is right there. No extra tap, no browser, no loading. Looks right in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
When the email is the newsletter, parents actually read it.
Daystage
Full newsletter inside the email. Opens directly.
Most other tools
Email contains a link. Requires a tap to read.
Questions
What makes Daystage different from other school newsletter tools?
The biggest difference is how parents receive the newsletter. Most tools send parents a link to a webpage. Daystage sends a real inline HTML email that opens directly in the inbox. No link, no extra tap. Parents see the full newsletter the moment they open the email.
Do I need to know how to code or design?
No. Your header is locked in from your profile. Every newsletter looks consistent without any design decisions from you. You focus on the content, not the formatting.
How does AI Draft work?
Click AI Draft in the editor toolbar, then describe what you want to say this week. You can type your notes or record yourself talking and AI Draft will transcribe your voice and build the newsletter from it. Daystage generates a complete draft you can edit and send. Available on Starter plan and above.
Can parents RSVP or vote on polls from the email?
Yes. The RSVP block lets parents confirm attendance for an event with one tap, directly inside the email. The Poll block lets you ask a quick question parents answer without leaving their inbox. Responses are collected in your dashboard.
Can I embed the newsletter on my school website?
Yes. Every published newsletter has a public web page. Copy the embed code from the share menu and paste it into your school site. The embed auto-updates when you publish a new issue. No IT request needed after the first setup.
Is Daystage FERPA compliant?
Daystage stores parent email addresses provided by teachers for the purpose of sending newsletters. Email addresses are not shared with third parties or used for advertising. Teachers control their subscriber list entirely and can export or delete it at any time. For district-level FERPA review or a data processing agreement, contact team@daystage.com.
Does Daystage work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Daystage is a web app that works on any device with a modern browser. No separate app to download. The editor is optimized for desktop, but reviewing and managing newsletters works on mobile.
