Communication Platforms for Schools

There are several communication platforms that schools can use to enhance communication between students, teachers, parents, and administrators. These platforms help streamline information sharing, collaboration, and engagement within the school community.

We do not endorse or promote any specific systems however here are some popular options:

1. Google Workspace for Education (formerly G Suite for Education): Google Workspace offers a suite of tools including Gmail, Google Classroom, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and more. It’s widely used by schools for communication, collaboration, and document sharing.

3. ClassDojo: ClassDojo is designed specifically for communication between teachers, students, and parents. It allows teachers to share updates, photos, videos, and conduct remote parent-teacher conferences.
4. Remind: Remind is a messaging platform that allows teachers to send messages, announcements, and assignments to students and parents via text messages or app notifications.
