Yes. Build daily announcement slides with pledge, lunch menu, weather, birthdays, and reminders. Schedule them to play during morning broadcast time, then auto-rotate during the day.
Our standard plans start at $15/mo with no per-screen fees, so most schools don’t need separate education pricing. Multi-building campuses or districts with 20+ displays — contact us for a custom quote.
Yes. Group displays by zone — cafeteria, main hallway, library, gym, front office, classrooms. Each zone runs its own playlist.
Use our menu templates designed for cafeteria-style displays. Show today’s hot lunch, weekly rotation, allergen info, and special meal events.
Yes — push priority alerts that override regular content on every screen instantly. Important: always test as part of your safety procedures. The platform supplements but does not replace your school’s official emergency notification system.
From $15/mo for 2 displays (Starter), $99/mo for 20 (Business), $299/mo for 100 (Enterprise). No per-screen fees. Hardware: $40 for a streaming stick on a TV you already own. Contact us for district-wide quotes.
Yes. K-12 schools use templates for daily announcements, lunch menus, bus schedules, student spotlights. Higher-education campuses extend usage to dorm common areas, lecture halls, student union event boards, and campus wayfinding.
Yes, with proper consent. Follow your district’s FERPA policy and obtain parent/guardian consent before displaying student names, photos, or achievements on public screens. Most schools have a standard photo-release form that covers signage. We provide no FERPA-specific features — you remain responsible for following your district’s privacy policy.
Printed posters cost $20-100 per design, replaced every time content changes. A school running 10 updates per month spends $200-1,000/mo on printing alone. Digital signage is $15-79.95/mo flat with instant updates. Most schools break even within the first semester.
Each display caches its current content locally. If WiFi drops during morning broadcast or the school day, your announcements, lunch menus, and event boards keep playing the last-cached version. When connectivity returns, displays sync automatically. No blank screens during the school day.
Yes. Group displays across buildings under one account. Push district-wide announcements to every school at once, or customize per-school. Business supports 20 displays, Enterprise supports 100+ with multi-building admin controls and per-school staff permissions.
14-day free trial. No credit card. Use the displays you already have. District pricing available for multi-building campuses.
