"I used to spend Sunday nights writing the class newsletter. Now it takes me 5 minutes on Friday afternoon. I can't imagine going back."

"I sent a milestone note to a parent last week and she cried. She said no teacher had ever noticed and documented something like that for her daughter. ParentUpdates made that easy."
