Make your parent handbook mobile friendly
We know PDF’s were never meant to be read on a mobile phone. Sure, you can see the document but you’re stretching and pulling the text to make it legible.
We also know that everything we do these days in communications land is to make our content mobile friendly.
If you’re using our eNews, you can convert your handbook to a mobile friendly version. And if you’re not using eNews, read on, we have something for you too!
Check out these links of some schools that have converted.

There are many benefits to a digital handbook;
- You look like a tech savvy school
- Built in translator for schools with a multi-cultural community
- You can make edits without having to reissue the handbook
- Parents always have access to your content on their mobiles
For schools using eNews
Just convert your PDF content into chapters by using the Article feature; just the way you do to create articles for your eNews.
Once you have the articles written, then create an eNews edition but in this instance title it as Parent Handbook 2025.
Once published, just issue the link to your new parents (a link like those above).
If you’d like some help with this process, please contact our helpdesk.
For schools NOT using eNews
We can create the mobile friendly, digital version of your handbook for you. The cost for this service starts from $125 and is dependent on the size of your handbook. Contact our helpdesk for a firm price.
Time to go digital!
