What Kannect commits to families and schools
100%
Reach. Every family that opted in gets the update — not just the ones who read email.
0%
Kannect fee on PTA donations. If the PTA is a registered 501(c)(3), donations come in fee-free.
2%
Fee on paid events. Fundraisers, family nights, ticketed school events — at 2%.
1
Home for every family. One app for every kid, every classroom, every PTA, every sport.
One platform instead of seven
Most schools and PTAs run on a paper flyer, a class app, a Facebook page, Sign Up Genius, a Mailchimp newsletter, GoFundMe for fundraisers, and Eventbrite for the auction. Kannect retires all of it.
Family communication
Reaches every family, not just the half on the email list.
Family nights & fundraisers
Ticketed events at 2%, free events at 0%.
PTA fundraisers
0% Kannect fee on PTA 501(c)(3) donations.
Parent community
A real home for parents — verified, no ads, no scammers.
School communication is scattered, and families miss what matters
Updates go out by email, a paper flyer, a class app, and three social pages. No parent can follow all of it, so important news slips right past them.
Emails go unread
School emails pile up in busy parents' inboxes. The announcement that mattered gets lost in the stack.
Flyers never make it home
A paper flyer in a backpack is not a communication system. Families miss dates, forms, and deadlines.
Too many apps and pages
Every program, class, and team uses a different tool. No family can keep up with all of them.
Everything a school needs to keep families engaged
The tools to reach every family, run every event, and keep your school community in one place.
Announcements that reach parents
Send announcements straight to families by push and in-app message. No algorithm, no spam folder.
Event sign-ups
Open houses, conferences, fundraisers, and games with RSVPs, tickets, and automatic reminders.
Groups by class and grade
Organize families into classes, grades, teams, and clubs, and message each one precisely.
Resources and forms
Share handbooks, calendars, and forms in one place every family can always find.
Automatic reminders
Event reminders and deadline nudges send themselves, so fewer families miss out.
A public school page
A public page where current and prospective families can see your events and programs.
Three steps to a school families stay connected to
Set up your school
Start a 14-day free trial and build your school's community hub in under five minutes.
Invite families
Add parents and guardians, and organize them by class, grade, team, and club.
Keep everyone in the loop
Post events, send announcements, and share forms. Families get every update in the Community Hub app.
Independent. Verified. Built for you.
Two things make Kannect different from the tools schools usually settle for.
Independent and founder-run
Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent and answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer.
Verified and spam-free
Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial that stops bots and fake accounts. Your school community stays a safe, real, spam-free space for families.
Communication families actually see
Of families reached
Every announcement reaches every parent who opted in. No algorithm decides who sees it.
To launch
Most schools set up their community hub and go live in under five minutes.
Around your school
No advertising near your families. Your school community is never monetized.
School questions, answered
Do parents need to download an app?
No. Families can take part on the web, and they can also use the Kannect Community Hub app for real-time events, announcements, and messages.
Can we organize families by class or grade?
Yes. You can group families by class, grade, team, or club, and message each group precisely.
Is Kannect secure for student and family information?
Yes. Kannect uses modern security practices and role-based permissions, and your school keeps control of its community data.
How much does Kannect cost?
Plans start at $15/mo billed yearly, or $19/mo month to month. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and a credit card is required to start it, which keeps Kannect verified and spam-free.
