In their own words
Schoolz
Schoolz provides schools with a managed website, branded mobile apps, and a content management system. Pages can include news, calendars, lunch menus, photo galleries, staff directories, links, alerts, and custom content, organized with a navigation builder. Its form builder supports file uploads, delivery to up to four email addresses, CSV export, and page embedding. Branded iOS and Android apps share website content, and Schoolz submits and maintains them. The platform includes a language control with 36 languages and right-to-left support; Schoolz says its design system is built to WCAG 2.1 AA and offers automated checks against a live site. Managed services include hosting, SSL, security patches, 24/7 uptime monitoring, nightly backups, store submissions, and 30 support hours. Schoolz says it does not integrate with student information systems or manage student rosters, grades, or attendance. District plans provide shared alerts and a shared calendar, with a dashboard for plans covering 15–29 schools. District-wide push notifications are listed as being on the roadmap. Pricing is on request.
