Bell schedule widgets
Current period, time to next bell, special schedule (assembly day, half day, exam week) — automatic switching, no daily edit needed.
Lunch menu of the day
Pull from a Google Sheet or your nutrition portal — today's menu auto-displays in cafeterias, hallways, and classrooms.
Event calendar
Athletic games, parent-teacher conferences, club meetings — pulled from Google Calendar, Outlook, or a CMS. Auto-rotates by recency.
Weather & closures
Live weather, plus a manual snow-day or unplanned-closure override that takes over every screen in seconds.
Emergency alert override
A red-button override pushes lockdown / shelter-in-place / evacuation instructions to every paired screen instantly — over the current playlist.
Classroom dashboards
Per-classroom dashboards: today's agenda, homework due, attendance, weather, world clock. The teacher edits from a tablet.
From hallway to homeroom
A school district can run hundreds of screens — cafeterias, gyms, hallways, classrooms, parent-pickup zones. Central IT manages the platform; principals manage their own school; teachers manage their classroom. Three layers of control, one dashboard system.
- District-wide templates, per-school overrides
- Role-based access — district admin / principal / teacher
- Emergency override broadcast to all screens
- Offline-resilient if the school network blips
Frequently asked questions
A dedicated dashboard with override priority. When triggered (by an admin from the phone), it interrupts every paired screen with the override content (lockdown / shelter / evacuation) until cleared. Logged in the audit trail.
Yes. Assign a teacher as editor on their classroom dashboard. They can change today's agenda or homework from a phone or tablet — without touching district templates.
If the SIS exposes a REST or webhook endpoint, yes — bind it via the declarative integrations DSL. For SIS without a public API, the fallback is a nightly Google Sheets export that Widgets PRO reads.
EU data residency by default, encryption at rest, TLS in transit. We never pull personal student data unless you bind a widget to it — and most school displays are non-personal (schedules, menus, weather). For US K-12, FERPA-friendly content is the design default.
