We've learned a lot in 30 years.
(And we’re happy to pass it along to you for free.)
Here’s the thing. Parents and caregivers aren't asking for technology.
They're asking to be informed and connected with their children's school – every week of every term.
The unfortunate thing we observe, over and over again, is school districts replacing their technology, hoping to solve their communications problems. Some years go by, and they do it again. And again. It's costly and unnecessary.
There's a much better way.
It doesn't require more effort or greater cost. But it does require a shift in focus. The key word here is: content.
“Content? That’s all you’ve got?” Yes, content.
Content is what parents need. And that's what your school staff must create, consistently, in just the right amounts.
Don't belabour technology, tools or channels. Focus on content. That's your target. Every day.
How do you accomplish this? To achieve the benefits of content creation, you must focus on your content creators. We're talking school admin assistants, administrators, and departmental staff tasked with getting the word out.
Your success is all about supporting your staff.
If they are successful, then parents are connected. Everyone is happier. And everyone has saved effort, time, and money. Seriously.
The Schoolkit Difference is that we focus on bringing school staff content creators along for the ride, from the outset. It’s built into our systems, and it’s part of everything we do. And it never stops. It's strategic. It's practical. And it can transform your district culture, because it spills over into so many other areas.
While we may have the most complete, best implemented web and digital tools for school districts in Canada, our focus is on your people who create content. That's what matters. We've learned this over many, many years.
We'd be happy to show you our approach, and collaborate on how you could adopt it and make great strides forward. So, even if you’re planning on keeping your current web or digital platforms, we really just want every educational team in Canada to grow better at connecting their district and schools with families.
