The Benefits of ClassTag Connect for School Staff

The ClassTag Team knows how vital school staff is to run the school! You’re the first line of schoolwide communication and keep teachers and administrators on track.

With ClassTag Connect, we hope to make your job just a little easier with:

• Internal Communication
• Actionable Reporting
• SIS Integrations

Actionable Reporting and Insights

As the glue holding a school together, we know you’re often tasked with getting in touch with hard-to-reach families or providing school administrators with essential reports and insights.

We have you covered with a suite of helpful reports. For example, our Family Engagement report helps you identify unreachable families and makes it easy to get in touch with them. Our reports have insights and contact information all in one place!

Check out our other popular reports, such as the Communications Report – which tells you how and when teachers reach out to families.

SIS Integrations and Set-Up

Integrating with existing tech, especially SIS systems, makes handling and managing contact information a bit more straightforward.

ClassTag Connect integrated with Clever, ClassLink, and OneRoster – making information easily accessible, right within the platform. 

*Please Note: Users who upgrade to ClassTag Connect will have an implementation specialist to help set up your school SIS integrations. During our free offering of ClassTag Connect, users may set up SIS integrations themselves – but we will not be able to provide support.

The Benefits of ClassTag Connect for School Leaders

With so much going on in a school day, we know school leaders often feel overwhelmed regarding Family communications and building the school community. 

ClassTag Connect fits within your workflow and makes it easy to identify issues before they arise with:

• Actionable Reporting Data
• Advanced User Permissions
• Cascading Communications

Using Actionable Reporting Data to Inform Decision-Making

ClassTag Connect is a perfect solution for data-driven Administrators who love actionable insights and a robust reporting suite.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how you can use different reports to help you make confident, data-driven decisions.

Advanced User Permissions

ClassTag Connect has powerful settings aimed at helping administrators take charge of the school’s communications settings and permissions.

Advanced user settings allow for a granular level of control, so you feel confident your school image and communications are sent the way you intended.

Popular Administrator settings include:

• Where teachers post Announcements (e.g., school, grade level, classes they own)
• How families interact with Announcements (e.g., commenting, sharing of files and Announcements)
• Information visible to families (e.g., ability to turn the Directory on/off for families)
• Teacher Permissions (e.g., ability to turn on/off broadcast features, contributions, and supply list sharing)
• Roster Management Permissions (e.g., who can edit rosters and family contact information)

Cascading Communications

Simplify your school messaging channel with ClassTag Connect’s cascading communications. With cascading communications, district, school, and classroom communications are all in one central location – making it easy for families and staff to communicate. 

Next time you want to share information with your school’s families and staff, just create a school announcement from your selected school. Everyone within the school will be alerted and sent communications in the channel that works best for them!

Communications at the district, school, and classroom levels look different, so families and staff know who is sending the communications.

Maximizing Your Limited Time Offer 

Remember, ClassTag Connect is available until July 1, 2022 – so be sure to give the features a try! And, if you’re ready to upgrade, we have a special offer just for your school!
