ClassTag Acquisition by SchoolStatus: Expanding K-12 Communications and Student Data Analytics
SchoolStatus, a leading provider of SaaS education technology, recently announced the acquisition of ClassTag, a unified family communication and engagement platform for educators, schools, and districts. ClassTag will be seamlessly integrated with SchoolStatus’ current offerings, expanding the platform’s data and school-home communications capabilities.
ClassTag is a powerful communications app that enables teachers to communicate and coordinate with families efficiently. The platform’s smart messages reach families based on their preferred channel (SMS, email, app, web or paper) and are automatically translated into 100+ languages. Over 5 million families currently use it.
The acquisition of ClassTag will give SchoolStatus the foundation for a family and teacher experience that centralizes the most relevant data about students for families in a way that is easy for teachers to use. With this acquisition, SchoolStatus will be able to offer more options for school districts to reach every family through their preferred channel.
Founder & CEO of SchoolStatus, Russ Davis, commented: “Engaged families help students succeed. The SchoolStatus platform empowers educators to reach families with the right message, through the right channel, at the right time to impact student outcomes significantly. ClassTag gives us the foundation for a family and teacher experience that centralizes the most relevant data about students for families in a way that is easy for teachers to use.”
Co-founder & CEO of ClassTag, Vlada Lotkina, also commented: “Reaching families has never been more difficult–between information overload on smartphones, challenges at home, and a lack of visibility into what works. ClassTag provides teachers and families with a simple, integrated communications platform to stay connected on what’s happening with students. We’re excited to collaborate with SchoolStatus to offer innovative solutions to help set students up for success by supporting meaningful, data-informed school-home communication.”
SchoolStatus provides teachers and administrators easy access to student data and communication tools to increase parent and student engagement. The platform aggregates data from various systems, including assessments, benchmarks, student information and learning management systems, and enables users to visualize and act on the data. With more than 200 million successful family-teacher interactions and millions of users across all product lines, the company drives meaningful results for districts across the US.
With the integration of ClassTag’s technology, SchoolStatus will be able to offer teachers and administrators an even more user-friendly family-teacher communication experience. School districts will now have even more options to reach all families with the most essential student-level data in streamlined and easy-to-use ways.
