Why school deadlines are so easy to miss

Tight turnarounds, paper that gets lost, and more than one child to keep track of.

Reply-by dates are always tight

School letters often ask for a form back or a payment made within a week or two of being sent home, which leaves little room for the letter to sit forgotten in a bag.

Paper gets lost between school and home

A letter that never makes it out of a school bag is one of the most common ways a deadline gets missed, through no fault of remembering.

Multiple children means multiple deadlines

Parents with more than one child at school are juggling several unrelated reply-by dates at once, each from a different class or trip.

How it works

1

Upload the letter or form

Orlo reads the child's name, the school, the reply-by or payment date, and the amount if one is due.

2

Get reminded with the right notice

Most school deadlines get a reminder 30, 7, and 1 day before. Short-notice deadlines within a week get 3 days and 1 day before instead.

3

Reply and pay on time

No more finding a permission slip crumpled at the bottom of a bag the night before a trip.

Family life, organised in one place

Orlo also tracks appointments and prescriptions alongside school paperwork. See everything Orlo can remind you about.

Frequently asked questions

Can Orlo tell short-notice deadlines apart from longer ones?
Yes. If a reply-by date is within a week of upload, Orlo shortens the reminder sequence to 3 days and 1 day before, rather than the standard 30, 7, and 1 day sequence.
Can I track forms for more than one child?
Yes, each document is tracked and reminded separately, so deadlines for different children never get mixed up even if they overlap.
What kinds of school documents does this work for?
Permission slips, trip payment requests, uniform order deadlines, parents' evening bookings, and general school letters with a date attached.
Can both parents see the same reminders?
Yes, using a shared household workspace, so both parents or carers can see the same upcoming school deadlines without duplicating effort.
