The parser never sends your text anywhere: it splits the paste into segments, runs them past four rule sets in a fixed order, enriches whatever survives with dates and dollar amounts, then drops each item into one of four buckets. Counts shown are the built-in Lincoln Elementary sample.

Worked example

Amal pastes the Lincoln Elementary newsletter for the week of October 14, labels it under her daughter, and clicks Extract & organize. Everything below happens in her browser.

  1. Split:The paste is cut on sentence endings and newlines into 19 segments; 3 stubs ("Dear Parents," and two short asides) are dropped because they carry no date and match no rule, leaving 16 items.
  2. Classify:6 land in Events (field trip Oct 18, picture day Oct 20, book fair Oct 22, conferences Oct 19 and Oct 25, spirit week Oct 22), 5 in To-Dos (permission slips Oct 15, no school Oct 21, plus three undated reminders), 4 in Payments (fundraiser Oct 17, order forms Nov 1, and two undated money lines), and 1 in General (the "Week of October 14" header).
  3. Enrich:"Order forms went home — packages start at $25." has no date, but extractAmount() still pulls out $25, so the payment card shows the price with a blank date. Date parsing reads "October 18", "11/1", weekday names and "tomorrow".
  4. Filter:Tapping the 💰 tile narrows the board to the 4 payments; the per-child row appears as soon as a second child name has been parsed, so siblings can be viewed separately.
  5. Export:Export .ics writes one VEVENT per dated item — 11 of the 16 — at 08:00 local time, ready to import into any calendar app.

What Is the School Communication Aggregator?

A free tool that helps parents organize the flood of school communications — newsletters, emails, texts, and app notifications. Paste the text and the tool automatically extracts key information into four categories: to-do items, events, payments, and general notices. It also detects dates and amounts.

How to Use the Aggregator

Enter which child the notice is for. Paste the school notice text. Click Extract & Organize. Review the categorized board — each item shows its category, the original text, detected date, and amount. Export all dated items to your calendar via .ics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it extract information?

The tool uses rule-based pattern matching to identify action items (bring, wear, submit), events (field trips, assemblies), payments (fees, fundraisers), and dates. It also detects dollar amounts and various date formats.

Can I track multiple children?

Yes. Enter the child's name before pasting each notice. The tool keeps separate boards for each child, and you can filter the results by child.

Is my children's information safe?

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is uploaded — this is especially important when dealing with children's information like names, school locations, and schedules.
