SchoolStatus Forms & Flows: A Workflow Automation Solution for K-12 Districts

Educators often have to manage multiple apps and software in the course of the day, not to mention reams of paper from take-home assignments to field trip permission slips. These cumbersome tasks take valuable time out of the day—time that could be spent on helping students thrive. At SchoolStatus, it’s our mission to help educators cut through the noise with effective, easy-to-use solutions that enable better school-home communication and streamline educator’s busy workflows.

That’s why today, we’re excited to announce we’re adding another innovative solution to the SchoolStatus family of products.
