Calendars & lunch menus

Today’s events, tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch, and the full school calendar — always current, right on the home screen.

sports_football

Sports schedules & scores

Every team, every level — game times, directions to the field, and final scores families don’t have to hunt for.

forum

Safe two-way messaging

Parents message teachers and staff inside the app — nobody gives out a personal cell number.

groups

Groups families choose

Band, football, 3rd grade, PTA — families follow just the teams and clubs they care about, so nothing important gets buried.

apps

The everyday utilities

Staff directory with one-tap contact, local weather and radar, and every link families ask the front office for.

Reach every family

The message that never gets buried

Snow day? Early dismissal? Bus running late? One post from your office lands on every phone as a notification — including families who downloaded the app but never signed up for anything. No more “I never saw the email.”

Protect your staff

Two-way messaging without personal phone numbers

Parents reach the right teacher, coach, or office — inside the app, on the school’s terms. Staff keep their personal numbers private, and conversations stay where the school can manage them.

One source of truth

“What’s for lunch?” answers itself

The app opens to today: this morning’s breakfast, today’s lunch, tonight’s game, and tomorrow’s early dismissal. Calendars, menus, and athletics stay current without anyone printing another flyer.

Tell us about your school

Two minutes: your name, your school, and a verified email. That’s the whole signup.

2

We build your app

Your logo, your colors, your calendars, your teams. Our team sets it all up and walks your staff through it.

Families download it

One flyer, one QR code, and your community is connected. News, alerts, menus, and scores from day one.

Your name. Your colors.
Your app.

This isn’t your school buried inside somebody else’s app. Families search your school’s name in the App Store or Google Play and download your app — your crest on the icon, your colors on every screen.

Questions, answered

Is it really free to start? expand_more

Yes. Setup is completely free and your school gets a full trial period — no credit card, no contract, nothing to cancel. If it’s not a fit, you simply walk away.

How much work is this for my staff? expand_more

Almost none. Our team builds your school’s app for you — your logo, your colors, your calendars, your teams. Most schools are up and running within days, and posting an update takes less time than writing an email.

Do families have to create accounts? expand_more

No. Anyone can download the app and immediately see news, calendars, menus, and alerts. Families only sign in if they want extras like following specific groups or messaging staff.

We already send emails and use social media. Why an app? expand_more

Emails get buried and social posts get filtered by algorithms. A push notification lands on the lock screen — the same place families get their texts. Schools tell us it’s the first channel where messages actually get seen.

Is it appropriate for school communication? expand_more

It’s built only for schools. Messaging is school-controlled and account-type aware, content is managed by your staff, and we never sell family data or run outside advertising in your app.
