Getting Started with the Catapult CMS Dashboard

Product Details

Overview

CatapultCMS is a K–12 website and content-management system for creating coordinated district and school sites. It gives communications and school staff structured tools for publishing news, calendars, alerts, directories, documents, and other public information without requiring routine web development.

Districts can distribute responsibility across schools while maintaining shared branding, navigation, permissions, and oversight. Catapult also offers communications and emergency-management products, so districts should document which modules are licensed rather than assume every capability is included with the website.

eChalk GUIDE: Website Accessibility Made Easy

Product Details

Overview

eChalk is a K–12 website and communications platform for managing district, school, class, group, and staff pages from a shared content-management system. It helps districts publish timely information while giving central administrators control over site structure, design, permissions, and content sharing.

The platform includes responsive templates, calendars, directories, news, alerts, translation support, and eChalk GUIDE accessibility checks. eChalk became part of Edlio in 2021 but continues to maintain a distinct platform and customer-support presence, so it should not be treated as a retired product.

How to Use EDLIO to Build your Websites for School and Districts

Product Details

Overview

Edlio is a unified K–12 communications platform centered on a school website content-management system. District and school staff can publish pages, news, calendars, staff directories, teacher pages, media, alerts, forms, and other community information without coding while administrators manage branding, permissions, and site structure.

Optional and integrated services extend the website into mobile apps, mass notification, social publishing, payments, and accessibility checking. The platform solves both public-web publishing and cross-channel family communication, but districts should document which modules and data connections are included in their contract.

Edspire Portal Overview for Students

Product Details

Overview

EdSpire is a K–12 digital communications platform combining custom school and district websites with content management, mobile apps, portals, notifications, and classroom-oriented tools. It helps organizations establish a branded public presence while giving staff channels for publishing updates and directing families to personalized information.

The offering extends beyond a website CMS into newsfeeds, email and text notifications, user-specific portals, and optional SIS or Google integrations. Districts should separate the public-web requirement from LMS and portal functions so they can assess accessibility, data governance, support, and ongoing content ownership for each component.

Product Details

Overview

Educational Networks provides school website design and content-management services for districts and individual schools. Its platform supports public pages, news, calendars, staff and class content, media, documents, and administrative publishing without requiring each contributor to maintain web code.

Educational Networks became part of Edlio, creating portfolio overlap but not necessarily making existing customer sites obsolete. Retain the record while districts still identify the product, and confirm whether each implementation remains on Educational Networks technology or has migrated to Edlio.

Finalsite Composer CMS Feature Overview - Website Content Management For Schools

Product Details

Overview

Finalsite is a K–12 website, communications, and enrollment-marketing platform used to manage district and school web presences at scale. It provides a structured CMS for pages, news, calendars, directories, alerts, media, forms, and branded sites while allowing central teams to delegate updates across schools and departments.

The broader platform can add mass notification, mobile apps, accessibility monitoring, analytics, inbound marketing, and enrollment tools. Districts should define which system is authoritative for calendars, contacts, emergency messages, and translated content because Finalsite can overlap with SIS, notification, and communications products.

Product Details

Overview

Google Sites is a general-purpose website builder included with Google Workspace that districts can use to create simple public websites, department pages, staff resources, project sites, and internal portals. It is a practical low-cost option for small districts or narrowly scoped sites when staff already work in Google’s ecosystem.

Sites makes collaborative editing and embedding Google content straightforward, but it is not a full K–12 website-management platform. Districts must supply their own information architecture, governance, accessibility review, records practices, analytics approach, domain configuration, emergency communications, and support model.

Product Details

Overview

LINQ School Websites is a K–12 web content-management offering for maintaining district and school sites, publishing community information, and supporting a consistent public identity. It belongs in this category when the district is using LINQ for its public-facing website rather than only for nutrition, payments, finance, or other LINQ products.

The catalog name “LINQ” is too broad because the company sells multiple operational platforms. Rename the record to LINQ School Websites after confirming the precise product, and review its relationship to SchoolBlocks so separate records do not create an unexamined duplicate.

SCHOOLinSITES We Connect Your Dots

Product Details

Overview

SchoolInSites is a K–12 website platform for building and maintaining district and school sites with shared branding and distributed content ownership. It lets nontechnical staff publish pages, news, events, documents, staff information, and community resources while district leaders retain administrative oversight.

The product addresses the practical challenge of keeping many school sites current and consistent without routing every change through a webmaster. Districts should evaluate its accessibility controls, migration services, multilingual delivery, emergency messaging, integrations, and support against their local communications plan.

The SchoolBlocks App

Product Details

Overview

SchoolBlocks is a K–12 website and digital-engagement platform that combines managed school and district websites with Google Workspace content, mobile access, document engagement, and AI-assisted answers. It is designed to make public information easier for families to find while allowing staff to maintain content through familiar workflows.

The platform is currently marketed as a distinct product and should not be retired. Because LINQ also has a separate website record in this category, the catalog should confirm ownership and product boundaries during reconciliation rather than merging the two based only on overlapping features.

Approval Workflows for school websites by Campus Suite

Product Details

Overview

SchoolNow, now presented through SchoolStatus Sites, is a K–12 website and communications platform for building district and school sites, managing distributed content, and helping families find timely information. It combines website publishing with tools such as alerts, calendars, forms, mobile access, and audience engagement.

The current support site uses the SchoolStatus Sites name, indicating that the catalog should verify successor branding before making a formal rename. Existing district relationships should remain attached to this record until the deployed product and contract name are confirmed.
