New York, New York, USA
What it is
eChalk provides websites for K–12 schools and districts to communicate with families, students, staff, and the wider community. Its mobile-responsive platform includes a content management system with drag-and-drop navigation, page layout tools, theme changes, and automated directories. District and school sites share a hierarchy that gives district webmasters visibility and control while allowing school staff to contribute content. Classes and groups can publish public webpages or password-protected spaces for students, families, and staff. The platform says it conforms to WCAG 2.1 and supports ADA and Section 504/508 accessibility requirements. eChalk GUIDE identifies website accessibility issues such as inaccessible PDFs, missing image alt text, and misused headings. Personal calendars can sync with Outlook and Google calendars, while eChalk Notify integrates mobile notifications and website alerts. The subscription includes basic support, with unlimited phone and email help for district and school Super Users during regular support hours and contact for critical off-hours emergencies. The Help Center offers video tutorials and articles around the clock. Pricing is on request.
