🇨🇦 Canadian-Built & Hosted

Connecting Schools
and Families

The new, unified, mobile-first platform for school-to-home communication, including Mobile Apps, SMS Text, Voice, Email, Website, Social Media, and Digital Signage.

🇨🇦 Has your formerly-Canadian student absence automated phone call service provider been swallowed up by bigger American companies? School Connection is a drop-in replacement for Synrevoice and PowerSchool's SchoolMessenger — developed, supported, and hosted in Canada.
