School mail arrives

Ms. Alvarez · Room 12 Picture Day + field trip reminders!
7:42 AM

Dear Room 12 families,

A few reminders as we head into a busy March! Picture day is Tuesday, March 14 — order forms went home in Friday folders and are due back by the 10th.

Our Science Center field trip is Friday, March 24. Signed permission slips and the $12 fee are due by the 17th, and we still need two parent volunteers!

Also, don’t forget Spirit Day this Friday (wear green!). And a reminder that the book fair…

How it works

Two minutes to set up. Then it runs itself.

  1. Choose where school mail arrives

    Connect a supported inbox with read-only access, or use your family’s private forwarding address. Osita shows the simplest option for your provider.

  2. Osita reads the mail

    Dates, to-dos, and FYIs come out. A plain-text copy stays available while those plans are active and for 30 days after — yours never leaves your inbox.

  3. The whole family sees the plan

    One feed, one calendar, reminders for both of you. Remembering stops being one person’s job.

Why Osita exists

Right now, one of you is the family’s inbox.

Schools usually message one parent, and the forms, fees, and picture-day notices pile up in one head. Osita puts the plan where the whole household can see it.

Privacy, plainly

Your mail stays yours.
Osita finds the school part.

Connect with read-only access or forward to a private address. Either way, Osita uses school mail only to organize your family.

What Osita sees

  • School-related mail from a connected inbox, after a read-only content check.
  • Mail you forward to your family’s private Osita address.
  • The dates, tasks, and titles pulled from it.

What stays private

  • Mail rejected by the school-mail check. Its full content is discarded after the decision.
  • Spam, junk, and trash. Connected scans exclude them.
  • Old source mail. Email text is removed 30 days after every plan from it moves to History.

Email text is kept only while its plans are active and for 30 days after. Then it is removed.

No selling data, no ads, ever.

Diagnostics are body-blind by rule — no mail contents, subjects, or sender addresses in logs or traces.

The full privacy policy is written in plain language. No fine print.

Before you ask

Questions parents actually ask

When can I get it?

Osita is available now for iPhone. Android is in closed testing; get access with the Google account you use in Play Store.

What does it cost?

The first 100 households get one year free from their first school update; later households get 90 days. No card is required and nothing starts automatically. After the free period, eligible new subscribers can choose $19.99 for the first year, renewing at $39.99 a year, or $1.99 a month for the first 12 months, renewing at $3.99 a month. Your store shows the exact price before purchase. One plan covers the whole household.

How do the free year and founding price work?

The first 100 households whose free period begins get one year free; later households get 90 days. The paid founding price is separate. If your App Store or Google Play account is eligible for Osita’s introductory price, your store shows it before you subscribe.

Does it work with my email?

Yes. Supported providers connect with read-only access, and every household also gets a private Osita forwarding address that works with any email service. Details are in the privacy policy — the readable kind.

Do both parents need the app?

One subscription covers the household. Invite your partner and the same feed, calendar, and reminders land on both phones — remembering stops being one person’s job.

The 7:40 backpack scramble will still happen.

The surprise picture day won’t. Download Osita on iPhone, or get Android access.
