WE'RE ON A MISSION…
To Help Teachers and Parents Make It Happen
”When parents are partners in their kids’ education, we all win. The kids do better, the parents are happier, and teachers’ job is made a little easier. But, making this a reality is hard!”
Supportive parents and incredibly dedicated teachers!
When my daughter started school, I was certain I could fulfill my responsibilities as a parent; until I faced the reality… emails, messages, flyers in the backpack, signups on the door and an outdated website.
Little did I know that the teacher’s day-to-day reality is way harder. Not only do teachers face conflicting parent expectations and preferences for when, what and how to communicate, but they also have to manage this and a multitude of admin tasks on top of their core teaching responsibilities.
And to top it off:
Teachers spend hundreds (sometimes thousands of dollars) to get their students what they need.
When we started ClassTag, we imagined a different reality where parents and teachers find it easy to connect and build relationships, work together to support student success and have more resources for the classroom (without relying on teacher’s pockets or constant fundraising from the parents).
That is the reality that we want ClassTag to inspire and fuel in every classroom, one message, one donation, one relationship, and one student success at a time.
Now millions of messages, pictures, videos, conferences, volunteers and donations later, we are humbled and inspired by amazing success stories from our classrooms.
This reality is possible and we are making it happen together!

And We’ve Got Some Generous Friends
Our advertising partners help support teachers, by making millions of dollars of free classroom supplies, software and other goodies available to our teachers through ClassTag Rewards.
WHY CLASSTAG REWARDS?
Teacher Pay For Classroom Needs Out of Their Own Pockets
According to the National Center of Education Statistics: 94% of teachers bought supplies they weren’t reimbursed for. $479 was spent on average. And 7% of teachers spend more than $1,000 on supplies.ClassTag Rewards helps teachers lower their out-of-pocket expenses and allows ClassTag to stay free, for everyone, forever.
HOW IT WORKS
Family-Friendly Brands Sponsor Classrooms With Ads That Give Back
We carefully curate sponsors who provide relevant ad content to our users, and a percentage of that ad revenue is given back to teachers in the form of Rewards.
IMPACT
Over $3 Million Dollars in Free Classroom Supplies Have Been Donated To Over 50,000 Teachers
And thanks to parents and teachers who use ClassTag, more donations are happening every day!
We're Inspired
By teachers that make special things happen
Danielle Fugazzi
“What I love about ClassTag is that if I have something in my calendar, or that parents need to respond to, ClassTag sends them automatic reminders, so I don’t need to do any of that work.”
Rebecca Karow
“ClassTag is transformational. I have never seen this level of parent engagement. A must have tool for every teacher!”
Tanya Razer
“Parents love it, they get online, they see what’s going on in the classroom -- it makes them feel connected and they appreciate being kept up to date.”
