Summary

School Stream is an app for school communication, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Schools can send targeted notices, reminders, and newsletters to parents, and make digital forms for permission slips, excursions, and absentees with digital signatures. Messaging supports school-to-home communication, including private messages to families and groups. Schools can publish event notices with permission notes, times, and maps, and sync online calendars. Payments can be accepted through School Stream Forms, with processing handled by Stripe. On-demand translation supports communication in over 100 languages. Schools can see who read notices and when, and manage parent accounts and groups. The site says data at rest uses 256-bit AES encryption and services use at least TLS 1.2; its servers are in Australia’s AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) region. CMS content history and trashed items can be restored for up to 30 days. Each school has a dedicated Customer Success Manager for support and training.
