Your kid says
everything's fine.
The grades say otherwise.

You're managing work, other kids, dinner, and practice. By the time you remember to check the school portal, it's 10pm and you're exhausted. Daily Summa bridges that gap — delivering the highlights and urgent items to your inbox, before they become a problem.

Why We Built This
"You want to trust what your kid tells you about school.
But by 9pm, after work and practice and dinner,
you don't have the energy to find out they were wrong."

The school portal exists. You know it exists. But it's designed for a desktop browser, buried behind a login, and organized for administrators — not tired parents checking their phone between innings.

So you ask your kid how school is going. They say fine. You believe them, because you want to, and because the alternative is 20 minutes navigating a system that wasn't built for you.

Then report cards come out. Or a teacher emails. And you realize something was slipping — for weeks — while everyone was surviving the day-to-day.

Daily Summa was built for exactly that gap. Not to replace your relationship with your kid. Just to make sure you always know the real story, delivered quietly to your inbox, before breakfast and after school.

The Name
DailySumma
Origin
Summa Cum Laude
Latin for "with highest distinction." The standard of excellence every student is capable of reaching — with the right support and the right information at the right time.
Purpose
Daily Summary
A summa is a comprehensive overview — the full picture distilled into what matters most. That's exactly what your family receives, every single day.
Belief
Every Student
We built Daily Summa on a simple conviction: every student is capable of their best when their family is informed, engaged, and ahead of the curve — not surprised by it.

"We named it Daily Summa because we believe every student has a summa in them — and families who stay informed are the ones who help them find it."

How It Works
Set up once. Stay informed every single day.

Privacy & Security
We see only what your school makes available. Nothing more.
🔐
No passwords stored
We connect using a read-only access token — the same type used by other approved school integrations. Your school login credentials are never shared with us or stored anywhere.
👁️
Read-only access
Daily Summa can only read academic data — assignments, grades, and submissions. We cannot post, submit, change, or interact with your school's system in any way.
🗑️
Disconnect anytime
You can revoke our access from your school account settings at any moment. When you cancel, we delete your family's data. No retention, no archives, no exceptions.
📧
Email only — no app
Daily Summa is delivered to your existing inbox. There's nothing to download, no account to manage, and no app requesting permissions on your phone.
👨‍👩‍👧
Your family's data stays yours
We do not sell, share, or monetize your family's academic data. It's used for one purpose: generating your daily updates. That's it.
🏫
Minimal data retention
We cache only what's needed to detect changes day-over-day — grade comparisons, submission status. Raw academic records are not stored long-term.
Questions about how we handle your data? Email us directly at hello@dailysumma.com — we're a small team and we respond personally.
