School digital signage
Digital signage for schools and campuses
Put announcements, event calendars, lunch menus, and game schedules on screens in hallways, cafeterias, and front offices. When something urgent happens, an emergency message overrides every screen on campus at once.
First 3 screens free. No credit card.
Announcements without design work
Describe the event and the AI Designer returns three ready-to-post slides in your school colors.
Built around the school day
Before school, lunch, and after-school blocks each show the content that fits.
One override for every screen
An Emergency priority message replaces all scheduled content across campus until you clear it.
District, campus, or building
District-wide messages flow down while each school runs its own screens.
Announcements in minutes, not afternoons
The front office should not need a designer to post the spirit week schedule. Type “Spirit week, Monday pajama day through Friday blue and gold, fun and bold” and the AI Designer returns three slides to choose from. Edit the dates or swap a photo in the editor, add it to the hallway playlist, and set it to come down Friday night. Templates cover the regulars: club meetings, college visits, picture day, and game nights.
- Three variations for every request
- Templates for recurring school events
- Automatic end dates so old news disappears
- Images, video, and web pages in one loop
Schedule around bells, not clocks
Lay out the school day as dayparts: Before School, Morning, Lunch, Afternoon, and After School. The cafeteria screen shows the lunch menu only at lunch, hallway screens show the day’s announcements during passing time, and the gym lobby switches to the game schedule after the final bell. Add exceptions for holidays and early-release days, and copy a Monday setup across the whole week in one step.
- Custom dayparts that match your bell schedule
- Holiday and early-release exceptions
- Different playlists per building and screen group
- Copy one day to the rest of the week
Urgent messages that reach every screen
Weather closures, lockdowns, and evacuation notices cannot wait for the next loop. Staff with access publish a message at Emergency priority to one building or the whole district, and it overrides every other schedule until someone ends it. Screens play from a local cache, so content already delivered keeps showing during network trouble. Triggering alerts from your notification system through webhooks and the API is planned.
- Emergency priority overrides everything
- Target one building or every campus
- Remote status shows which screens are online
- Webhook and API triggers planned

FAQ
Education: common questions
Can the screens connect to our emergency notification system?
Not yet. API and webhook triggers are planned. Today, authorized staff publish an Emergency priority message from the dashboard and it overrides every targeted screen.
Can each school manage its own screens?
Yes. District content inherits down to each campus, and each campus can add its own schedules on top. Location-scoped roles for building staff are planned.
Can we show the athletics calendar automatically?
A Google Calendar widget is planned. Today you can show a published calendar web page or update the schedule slide with the AI Designer.
Can we use the TVs already in our hallways?
If the TV has a web browser, or you plug in an Android/Google TV device, it can run the player. Raspberry Pi and Windows players are coming.
Is there a free option for a small school?
Yes. The first three screens are always free, including playlists, scheduling, and basic dayparting.
