School Team plan →What makes Daystage work for specialists
Consistent school branding
Your school name, logo, and color appear on every newsletter automatically. Families recognize it and open it.
Real email delivery
Parents get the full newsletter in their inbox. Not a link. Not a PDF. The email IS the newsletter.
Simple enough for weekly use
If it takes more than 8 minutes to update and send, the tool is working against you. Daystage is built for weekly cadence, not one-off campaigns.
Embed on your school or department page
One embed code. Your latest newsletter appears on your school site automatically. No IT request after the first setup.
Open and click analytics
See which families opened your newsletter and which links they clicked. Know when a critical update reached the parents who needed it.
Free plan for individuals
40 newsletters per school year on the free plan. No credit card. Enough to send weekly all year and still have room.

Questions from specialists
Can a SPED teacher use this independently, without a school-wide subscription?
Yes. The free plan is for individual teachers. You set up your own school profile (or classroom name), manage your own parent list, and send independently. No IT involvement needed.
Can I send to parents in multiple languages?
Daystage sends the newsletter as you write it. For bilingual families, many teachers write the newsletter bilingually directly in the editor: English paragraphs followed by Spanish paragraphs. Alternatively, you can send two separate newsletters to two separate lists.
Is Daystage FERPA-compliant for SPED use?
Daystage is a general school communication tool. FERPA applies to student records. Most SPED teachers use Daystage for classroom news and general updates, not individual student records. Consult your district's legal team for specific FERPA guidance on your communications.
Does the School Team plan work for a grade team that shares a parent list?
Yes. The School Team plan (up to 5 teachers at $199/year) includes a shared subscriber list. All teachers on the team can see and send to the same parent list, and each teacher can have their own newsletters.
Can school counselors use this for monthly check-ins with all families?
That is exactly the use case. Import your school-wide or grade-level parent list, set up your counselor branding, and send a monthly social-emotional learning update. Open tracking lets you see how many families engaged.
