Explore how SchoolBridge connects your community, streamlines administration, and simplifies school management.
0:01 Seamless Community Connection & Data Sync
With SchoolBridge, you can connect your community and increase engagement by making it easy for your users to sign in, find information they need, and get things done. SchoolBridge automatically synchronizes with your school's student management system (SMS), extending the range of services you can provide while helping your administration team save time and increase efficiency. This data sync happens automatically on a daily basis with nothing to manually import, ensuring your system is always up to date.
0:41 Unified Single Sign-On & Role-Based Dashboards
SchoolBridge allows students, staff, and caregivers to sign into the same place using a single username and password. The system recognizes the user's specific year levels, groups, or roles, delivering tailored information and services directly to them. Once signed in, users enjoy single sign-on access to all connected services without needing to log in again.
If caregivers forget their login details, they can instantly sign in using MagicLink—a secure, time-sensitive email link sent directly to their registered address.
Each user group sees a customized dashboard with essential links and apps. You can also deploy a public dashboard for unauthenticated users. School administrators retain total control over dashboard icons, with options to limit access by department, year level, or specific groups.
2:40 Absence Reporting & Multi-Child Account Switching
Caregivers can quickly report absences and request exit passes through a secure connection, ensuring all submitted reports are authentic. Caregivers can view complete absence records for their children, while administrative staff can review and export data directly to the SMS without manual data entry.
For families with multiple children enrolled, the Switch Siblings feature appears right at the top of the dashboard, letting parents effortlessly toggle between accounts.
3:40 Centralized Resource Hub & Smart Alerts
Declutter your public website by moving manuals, documents, videos, downloadable files, and slideshows into the secure SchoolBridge Resources area. Target content to specific groups defined in your SMS and link to them directly from user dashboards.
Sending emergency or general announcements is reliable and effortless. Because SchoolBridge backs up data in the cloud, you can send critical updates via push notifications, SMS, or email to targeted groups even if your local server or primary SMS goes offline.
5:15 Digital ID Cards & Paperless Permission Slips
Reduce plastic card costs with built-in digital ID cards for students and staff. Cards display official photos and active scannable barcodes synced directly from your SMS.
Eliminate paper forms for school trips and events. Staff can select form presets, attach event details, auto-populate health flags, and dispatch forms to targeted recipient groups. Caregivers receive push or email notifications, review details, sign forms, and complete payments seamlessly on their devices. Staff can track responses, payments, and send reminders in real time.
7:06 Staff Approval Workflows & Audit Trail
Simplify internal school approvals—such as professional development, leave requests, and EOTC event proposals. Staff forms guide submissions through predefined multi-stage approval routes. Built-in features include real-time discussion threads, notifications, post-event reflection forms, and complete, exportable audit logs stored in one secure location.
