Notis

What Notis is

Notis is a school communications and engagement app for schools and districts, designed to support PBIS/MTSS and Tier 1 behavior interventions. It connects students, teachers, parents and administrators through announcements, newsletters, reminders, live feeds and parent communication. Schools can award points for activities and achievements, then let students redeem them for prizes selected by the school. Students can also check in to school events using geofencing and earn points. Other listed tools include group chats, polls and surveys, club management, and teacher-parent scheduling. Schools approve users, can remove them through a dashboard, and decide which features and content are enabled. Private messages are restricted unless users have a reason to communicate, such as sharing a class or team partnership. Schools may opt into business advertising and keep 70% of its revenue, or arrange for a business to sponsor the subscription. Notis is available on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing is not published; the company directs schools to schedule a demo. Its maker says work on the product began in 2013.
