Konstella FAQ for Parents

1. What is Konstella?

Konstella is a private, secure communication and organization platform designed for schools and parent communities. It helps streamline communication between parents, teachers, and school leadership—all in one place.

2. Why should I use Konstella?

Using Konstella ensures you stay connected to your child’s classroom and school community. It helps you:

  • Stay informed about events, reminders, and announcements.

  • Simplify communication with teachers and other parents.

  • Volunteer easily for activities and track sign-ups.

  • Connect socially with other families in your child’s class or grade.

3. Can’t I just use email instead?

While email is useful, it can be overwhelming and messages often get lost. Konstella organizes communication by classrooms, committees, and school-wide groups. You’ll always know where to look for the latest information without sorting through dozens of emails.

4. How does Konstella make volunteering easier?

Konstella allows you to sign up for volunteer opportunities and track your commitments in one place. You’ll see what roles are available, what’s still needed, and receive automatic reminders—no more back-and-forth emails or missed sign-ups.

5. Is Konstella safe and private?

Yes. Konstella is a closed system. Only parents, teachers, and school staff who are invited can access the community. You also control what personal information (such as phone number or email) you share with other parents.

6. How will it help me stay organized?

Konstella provides:

  • A shared calendar with school and classroom events.

  • Automatic reminders for activities and volunteer roles.

  • A directory to quickly connect with other parents.

  • A centralized hub so you don’t have to juggle multiple apps, emails, and paper flyers.

7. Do I have to pay to use Konstella?

No. The school covers the cost. Parents and teachers can use Konstella for free.

8. How do I access Konstella?

You can use Konstella on any web browser, or download the Konstella app on your phone (iOS and Android).

9. What if I have more than one child at the school?

Konstella makes it easy to manage multiple classrooms. You can switch between your children’s classes and receive all relevant updates in one account.

10. What if I don’t want more notifications?

You control your notification settings. Choose to receive updates via email, app notifications, or both. You can also adjust how often you get them (immediately, daily, or weekly).
