PostSheet for Education: Automating Communication with Students & Parents

Educators are incredible — juggling lesson plans, grading, admin tasks, and communication with students and parents.

And let’s be honest: the communication side can feel never-ending. Progress reports, reminders, certificates, updates, feedback… the list goes on.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, teachers, school admins, and tutors can automate personalized communication — without losing the human touch.

Here’s how educators are using PostSheet to save time, reduce stress, and stay connected.
