It's exciting to contribute to something that supports both educators and students in such a direct, measurable way.Casey Bevins
Senior Visual DesignerI like the ease with which I can contact families using my own personal phone without giving out my personal number. I also like that the student's contacts are readily available. This platform works well for families to contact us, too.

Connect Educators and Families to Push Learning Forward
Personalize Every Message
School communication fails when it lacks personal context. SchoolStatus Connect unifies student data so educators have the full story before they hit send. By replacing generic alerts with specific, valuable updates, you turn families into active partners ready to help you solve problems.
Reach the Right Families with Every Message
Smart segments mean you don’t have to rely on districtwide alerts for every message. SchoolStatus Connect uses your student data to target announcements to specific schools, grade levels, or even a single bus route. When families only receive updates that relate to their child, they are more likely to stay engaged and trust the information.
Accelerate Academic Momentum with Classroom Updates
Give families a window into daily learning. SchoolStatus Connect gives teachers an easy way to share classroom moments through photos and videos. When families know what happens during a school day, they can reinforce learning at home.
Notify Your Audiences in Seconds
Some messages need to be heard by everyone. Inform your entire school or district in a couple of clicks. SchoolStatus Connect allows you to share urgent messages quickly to keep everyone informed when it matters most.
Send Newsletters Families Want to Read
Newsletters can be a powerful tool, alerting families about district initiatives or district events. SchoolStatus Connect’s integration with Smore allows your team to send visually appealing updates that families look forward to reading.
