For students and parents
Ask Maina
The school chatbot that looks up published records in plain language — and will not invent a mark. Named for the myna: a bird that talks after it has heard something real.
One sentence. One child. One answer.
Published records only
Attendance, published marks, homework, timetable, lunch, notices — plus meetings and fees for parents. Draft marks stay draft.
One child at a time
Students ask about themselves. Parents pick a linked child. Maina will not discuss anyone else.
Willing to say she doesn’t know
She never invents a number, never says “at-risk,” and will not give medical, legal, or career advice.
Early support still flags who needs help. Pathfinder still maps next steps after staff review. Maina answers what the family is already allowed to see.

How families use her
1
Ask in plain language
“What’s for lunch?” “Is homework due?” Tap a topic or type a sentence — no hunting through five screens.
2
Look up the published record
Maina reads only what the school has already released for that child — the same facts as the parent and student apps.
3
Answer — or say she doesn’t have it
A short, specific reply. If the record is missing, she points back to the app or the office. Never a made-up number.
