What Schoolkit is
Schoolkit connects school districts with families through websites, branded mobile apps, messaging, and digital displays. Publishing website information can also send it to apps, displays, SMS, email, or social media. Website features include intelligent search, media management, instant translation, single sign-on, accessibility, and calendars. Branded iOS and Android apps 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 and show the school number as caller ID. Digital displays can show announcements, calendar reminders, weather, and block rotations. Integrations include Google for Education and Microsoft 365 services. Schoolkit Helper guides staff through website publishing, and district super users and communications staff can use a Support Portal. Schoolkit describes its service as Canadian-owned and hosted, with website launch, upgrades, security, accessibility, troubleshooting, and support. Pricing is on request, and the company invites district staff to request a consultation.
