Schoolkit
Canada
What it is
Schoolkit connects school districts with families through websites, mobile apps, messaging, and digital displays. Publishing to a Schoolkit website can also send information to apps, displays, SMS, email, or social media. Website tools include search, media management, translation, single sign-on, accessibility features, and calendars. Branded school and district apps for iOS and Android offer push notifications, Google Translate, and SMS fallback. Mass notifications can use automated calls, SMS, email, app push, and attendance alerts; calls may use a recording or Amazon Polly text-to-speech, with the school phone number shown as caller ID. Digital displays can show news, announcements, calendar reminders, date and weather, and block rotations. Listed integrations include Google for Education and Microsoft 365 services such as single sign-on, calendars, and forms. Schoolkit Helper guides staff through website publishing, while district super users and communications staff can access a Support Portal. The company describes its service as Canadian-owned and hosted and says it handles launch, upgrades, security, accessibility, hosting, troubleshooting, and support. Pricing is on request; display purchases can be standalone or part of an integrated installation.
