For K-12 teachers · Names hidden in your browser · Never auto-sends
Parent email, newsletters and conferences, drafted in your voice.
Paste a parent email, a few notes about your week, or notes and scores for each student. Homeroom hides student and parent names before anything leaves your screen, then gives you a draft that uses only facts you provided. You review it and send it yourself.
Early access. Drafts are written by an AI model (Llama, on Cloudflare Workers AI) from your notes, class facts and voice, then checked so they only state facts you gave it. If the AI is unavailable, Homeroom falls back to built-in templates. You always review before sending; nothing is sent automatically.
What you paste
Hi, this is Dana Ruiz, Leo's mom. Leo was sick yesterday. Can he make up the quiz? Call me at 555-201-3344.
🔍 Privacy lens: what was sent
Hi, this is [PARENT_1], [STU_1]'s mom. [STU_1] was sick yesterday. Can he make up the quiz? Call me at [PHONE_1].
Your draft (not sent)Absence
Hi Dana Ruiz, Thank you for letting me know. I hope Leo is feeling better. I'll make sure Leo gets anything that was missed, and we'll find a time to catch up on any make-up work. Here's what I have: Quiz make-ups are Thursday at lunch. Best, Ms. Carter
Real output from today's template mode. “Thursday at lunch” comes from the teacher's class facts sheet.
Everything that works today
Parent communication is a second shift. These tools take the first draft off your plate. Each one opens in your browser, with no signup.
Parent-email replies
Paste a parent email and get a reply draft, sorted as an absence, grades, behavior, logistics or sensitive email. Sensitive ones get a call-request note instead.
Draft a reply →Your voice + class facts
Learns your greeting, sign-off and phrases from past replies. Drafts state only what's on your facts sheet: policies, dates, homework.
Set it up →Friday newsletter
A few bullets about your week in, a short three-section family update out (what we did, what's coming with dates, one ask), with upcoming dates and reminders pulled from your class facts.
Write a newsletter →Report-card comments
Paste each student's scores or grades; get a comment in your voice that names one strength and one focus area from the scores and includes one specific detail. Batch for the whole class, with copy-all and .csv export.
Draft comments →Parent-conference kit
Before: notes per student in; talking points that open positive and name the concern plainly, plus scheduling emails out. After: a skimmable follow-up email with the check-in date and the ask up top, and an optional report-card comment.
Prep conferences →Privacy lens
Every tool hides names, emails and phone numbers in your browser, then shows you the exact text that was sent. Nothing is ever emailed for you.
Read the privacy page →Teacher guides
Copy-ready advice and templates: angry parents, absences, boundaries, conference prep, and using AI without risking student privacy.

How it works
The same four steps for replies, newsletters and conference prep.
Set up once
Paste 10 to 20 of your past parent replies and your syllabus or class details. Homeroom learns your greeting, sign-off and phrasing, and builds a class facts sheet. It's saved in your browser.
Set up your voice →Paste or jot
Paste a parent email, list three things from your week, or type quick notes for each student before conferences.
Try a reply →Names are hidden first
Your browser swaps student and parent names, emails and phone numbers for placeholders like [STU_1] before anything is sent. The privacy lens shows exactly what left your screen.
How privacy works →Review, then send it yourself
You get a draft that only uses facts you gave it. Anything else is highlighted as [confirm: …]. Sensitive emails get a call request instead. Copy it, edit it, send it from your own email.
Private by design, not by disclaimer.
You shouldn't have to scrub names before asking for help. Homeroom does it for you, in your browser, and shows its work.
- ✓
Names become placeholders
Students, parents, emails and phone numbers are replaced with tokens like [STU_1] before any text is sent. Real names come back only on your screen. In the conference kit, if a name you typed would still be sent, Homeroom stops.
- ✓
See exactly what was sent
The privacy lens under each draft shows the tokenized text. Redaction is automatic but not perfect: names that aren't on your roster may slip through, so it's worth a glance.
- ✓
Your setup stays on your device
Voice profile, class facts, roster and conference notes are saved in your browser only.
- ✓
Never auto-sends
Every reply is a draft. You read it, edit it, and send it yourself.
- ✓
No student accounts
Homeroom is for teachers. No training on your data, no ads, no selling.

Why not just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can write an email. Homeroom is built for the parent-communication part of your job: privacy first, your facts only, and nothing sent without you.
Student privacy built in
Names, emails, and phone numbers are swapped for placeholders in your browser before anything is sent. No pasting a real kid's situation into a chatbot.
Built for parent email
Drafts follow parent-email norms: acknowledge, stay factual, avoid promises or blame, and suggest a call when a topic is sensitive. No prompts to write.
Only your facts
Dates, policies and numbers come from your class facts sheet or the parent's email. Anything else is flagged for you to confirm instead of guessed.
Lives in your inbox
Connects to Gmail or Outlook so drafts are waiting in the reply box.

Questions teachers ask
Why not just use ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT can write an email. Homeroom is built for parent communication. Student names, emails, and phone numbers are swapped for placeholders in your browser before anything reaches the AI, and drafts are tuned for parent email: de-escalating, holding boundaries, avoiding promises or blame, and following school norms, with no prompts to write. Pro (free during beta) also learns your voice from past replies and only states class facts you provide, flagging anything else as [confirm: ...]. Your voice profile and class facts stay in your browser. It also writes Friday newsletters and parent-conference talking points and follow-ups. Gmail/Outlook inbox integration is coming soon.
Does Homeroom use AI today?+
Yes. Homeroom is in early access. Drafts are written by an AI model (a Llama model on Cloudflare Workers AI) from your notes, class facts and voice profile, after names, emails and phone numbers have been replaced with placeholders in your browser. A fact check removes any date, time or number that isn't in your facts or the parent's email. If the AI is unavailable, built-in templates take over, and the privacy rules (names hidden first, your facts only, never auto-sent) stay the same.
Will Homeroom make up dates or policies?+
No. Drafts may only state facts from your class facts sheet or the parent's email. Anything else becomes a highlighted [confirm: ...] placeholder for you to fill in, and the facts used are listed under each draft.
Does Homeroom ever send emails on its own?+
No. Homeroom only writes drafts. You read, edit, and send every message yourself. Sensitive emails get a suggestion to call instead of a draft reply.
Does the AI see my students' names?+
Not the ones Homeroom recognizes. Names on your roster, names typed into a tool's name fields, emails, phone numbers and common patterns ("This is Dana Ruiz", "Leo's mom") are replaced with placeholders like [STU_1] in your browser before any text is sent, and real names are restored only on your screen. A stray name that isn't on your roster can slip through, so the privacy lens shows exactly what was sent.
How long do you keep data?+
The tools don't store the emails, notes or drafts you paste on our servers at all. Your roster, voice profile, class facts and conference notes stay in your browser until you clear them. When accounts and the inbox connection launch (coming soon), stored message content will be deleted after 30 days. We never train AI models on your data, never sell it, and never show ads.
What happens to student names?+
Your browser replaces student and parent names, emails and phone numbers with placeholders like [STU_1] before anything is sent; real names come back only on your screen, and a privacy lens shows exactly what was sent. Names on your roster, names typed in a tool, and common patterns are caught; a stray name that isn't on your roster can slip through. Step by step: /student-names.
Is Homeroom FERPA compliant?+
Homeroom is designed to act as a school official under FERPA with a school agreement, and we will sign the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement on request. We are starting with private and independent schools and will help you check your district's approval rules.
Does it work with Gmail and Outlook?+
Inbox connections for Gmail and Outlook are coming next. Today you can try the drafting assistant by pasting a parent email into the demo.
What does it cost?+
Free for 15 drafts a month. Pro is $12/month or $99/year and includes voice learning, class facts, the Friday newsletter, and the parent-conference kit (free during beta). School plans are $6 per teacher per month. Paid plans are coming soon; join the waitlist to get early access.
Do students use Homeroom?+
No. There are no student accounts. Homeroom is for teachers only.
