The class feed is your informal bulletin board. Where daily reports cover each child individually, the feed is for sharing moments from the day — group activities, project photos, milestone moments — with the parents who matter.
Where to Find the Feed
Open your class, then tap Feed. To create a new post, tap the + button.
Creating a Post
Caption
Write a short caption describing the moment. Captions are optional but recommended — a sentence or two of context makes a photo much more meaningful to parents. For example: “The children built a volcano today and watched it erupt — a lot of excited faces!”
Photos
Add photos from your camera or gallery (optional, but strongly recommended — the feed is primarily a visual space).
Tag Children
Tap Tag children and select the children who appear in the post. At least one child must be tagged before you can publish.
Tagging is what controls privacy: only parents of tagged children will see the post. If a child is not tagged, their parents will not see the post at all.
Who Sees a Post?
Only the parents of children you tag. If you post a photo of a group activity and tag five children, only the parents of those five children can see it. Other parents in the class — whose children you did not tag — will not see the post.
This is by design. Privacy is taken seriously, and Mazhali does not surface photos of a child to parents who are not linked to that child.
School-Wide Posts
Only school admins can publish school-wide posts that are visible to all parents across all classes. As a teacher, your posts are always scoped to your class based on who you tag.
Photo Privacy
Photos uploaded to the feed are private and protected. Each photo is served via a signed URL that expires — it cannot be shared outside the app. Parents can download photos of their own children.
Can You Edit or Delete a Post?
In v1, teachers cannot edit or delete their own feed posts. If you need a post removed, contact your school admin — they can delete posts from the admin panel.
Tips for Great Feed Posts
- Activity captions — “Today we planted seeds and will check on them every week” gives parents something to talk about with their child at home
- Group activities — art projects, outdoor play, cooking activities make for great visual posts
- Milestone moments — a child’s first time writing their name, completing a puzzle, or standing up to present something — these are the moments parents treasure
