Frequently Asked Questions

What is a parent update?

A parent update is a short (under 180 words) class-wide letter you can print or email home. It summarizes what your class learned in a chosen window (this week, last week, or the whole unit) in jargon-free language, plus one home-practice suggestion and a small "misconceptions to watch" list.

Do I need student answers or names to generate one?

No. The generator reads only your unit metadata (essential questions, standards) and the aggregated misconceptions from the assessments you already attached. It never touches student names, submissions, or per-student data.

What is the time window for?

Pick "This Week" for a weekly newsletter, "Last Week" for a catch-up, or "Entire Unit" for an end-of-unit family recap. The window filters which of the unit's attached assessments the AI pulls misconception data from.

How long does it take to generate?

About 20 seconds. The generator uses Claude (Anthropic) to write the letter in one pass and returns it as printable HTML plus discrete bullets you can restyle for your newsletter template.

Can I refine the letter after generation?

Yes. Type feedback ("shorter", "warmer", "mention the Wednesday field trip") and the AI revises the letter while keeping the same structure.
