What Foxbright Communications Platform is
Foxbright Communications Platform is a messaging and information hub for schools and districts, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Users can receive push, text, and email notifications, while organizations can send mass messages through app alerts, SMS, voice calls, email, social media, websites, and digital signage. Parents, teachers, students, and staff can communicate through classroom and group messaging. Schools can create unlimited groups for families, clubs, athletics, and staff. The app provides staff information and teacher pages synchronized with Foxbright staff records. Calendar subscriptions can draw from Google Calendars, Foxbright calendars, and other systems, with users choosing what to follow. Existing accounts such as Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365, or ClassLink can be used to sign in. News from Facebook, websites, and email newsletters can sync to the app. The dashboard tracks communications and graphs app usage. SecureDocs distributes student documents to families by matching student IDs with parent contact records, with optional password protection using a student's ID or birthdate.
