A Free Parent-Teacher Communication App

ClassTag connects teachers and families with one easy-to-use app for all their communication needs

ClassTag has been my lifeline for the past few years! After trying out several different communication platforms I finally discovered ClassTag and realized it had ALL of the features I’d been looking for! Parent and teacher communication is so important! Children spend most of their time between school and home life, so as the teacher – you play an essential role in the child’s life! Creating strong parent-teacher communication has proven to increase academic performance in children and curates a feeling of community between school and home. I want to share with you some of my absolute favorite features of ClassTag, and why setting up your free ClassTag account is a must!

ClassTag offers messages, announcements, videos, pictures, library, calendar, parent-teacher conferences, actionable engagement stats and much more in one place. And, it’s completely free! ClassTag also gives teachers smart, actionable alerts and recommendations, ensuring they are able to connect with harder-to-reach parents. With read receipts and parent-engagement stats, you can focus on the parents who are not receiving messages or participating and may need additional support and follow-up. This makes is easy to ensure that all parents are being reached, especially the ones who are more challenging to get ahold of! I also love that parents are able to choose how they receive their messages, making it more accessible than other communication apps I’ve tried! Parents can choose to get their ClassTag information through email, SMS, paper, mobile or web app!

Accessibility helps build a strong foundation for communicating

ClassTag bridges any gaps with their automatic translation of over 100+ languages. When parents are creating their accounts they can individually designate while language they would prefer to receive their information in. As a teacher this is been so helpful to know that I am always communicating with parents using their language preference! The automatic translation feature takes away any language barriers!

Scheduling has never been easier

ClassTag has such an efficient system for organizing events and conferences! ClassTag makes scheduling in-person events (or even remote conferences) a breeze by allowing parents and teachers to pick times that work for their schedule. Parents were so pleased with this feature and raved about how convenient it was to book their time slots for parent teacher conferences right within the app. And truly, the turnout rate I have at conferences since using ClassTag’s scheduling feature is significantly higher than ever before! My events and conference times also automatically sync with Google Calendar which I LOVE! You even get the capability to add a conferencing link through Google Meet. This helps parents keep track of important events and conference information, all in one place since they’re able to add everything to their own calendars!

ClassTag is the perfect companion to your Google Tools

Did you know that ClassTag also integrates with Google Apps for Education? As I mentioned earlier, you are able to schedule your parent-teacher conferences on ClassTag and can sync them directly with Google Meets! This is true for all ClassTag events, because everything will sync right through your Google Calendar! I also love that ClassTag has quick links for shortcuts to important G-Suite tools which makes it very easy to navigate! Some other ways ClassTag integrates with Google Tools is you’re able to embed YouTube videos directly to your ClassTag feed, store and exchange important files with Google Drive, and message parents without leaving Google Classroom! This integration allows a seamless transition between students work and communicating with parents!
