Already Using ClassDojo or Tapestry? Here’s Where SchoolDayHub Fits In

Schools already have plenty of digital tools at their disposal. From websites and email platforms to apps such as ClassDojo and Tapestry, there are more ways than ever to keep parents informed.

So, does your school really need another one?

SchoolDayHub has been designed to solve a slightly different problem. Rather than replacing the systems a school already relies on, it gives parents one simple place to find the practical information they need throughout the school day.

Think of it less as another school platform and more as the front door to everything that matters today.

Your existing platforms still have a job to do

ClassDojo is widely used for classroom communication, sharing updates and giving parents a window into school life. Tapestry is particularly valuable in early years settings, where practitioners can record learning, observations and development.

A school website has a different purpose again. It might contain policies, curriculum information, staff details, admissions guidance, safeguarding information and everything else a school needs to publish.

SchoolDayHub doesn't need to take over any of those jobs.

Instead, it sits alongside them.

Parents can open SchoolDayHub to check today's lunch, see whether there's an event coming up, read the latest newsletter or follow a link to another service the school already uses.

That means less hunting around and fewer questions about where something was posted.

Built around the everyday school routine

The information parents need at 7.30am on a Tuesday is often very different from what they might visit a school website to find.

Is PE today? What's for lunch? Is it going to rain at pick-up time? When does the term end? Was there a reminder about tomorrow's trip?

These small questions crop up constantly. SchoolDayHub brings useful day-to-day information together in a mobile-friendly hub that's quick to check.

Schools can add calendars, events, lunch menus, newsletters and useful links, alongside reminders and push notifications. Local weather and traffic information can also help families prepare for the journey to and from school.

The result is a service focused on what's happening now, rather than asking parents to navigate a much larger website whenever they need a quick answer.

Keep ClassDojo. Keep Tapestry. Keep your website.

There is no need for a school to abandon a platform that already works.

If teachers use ClassDojo to communicate with their classes, they can carry on doing exactly that. If an early years setting relies on Tapestry to document children's learning, nothing needs to change. The school's main website can continue to provide the more detailed information parents, prospective families and inspectors may need.

SchoolDayHub can provide quick access to those services while handling the everyday information that doesn't always need a full website update.

It also gives schools control over how their hub looks. Customisable branding means each setting can create something that feels familiar to its families, while private access helps keep school-specific information intended for its community away from the wider public.

Less friction for parents, less admin for schools

One of the frustrations of school communication isn't necessarily a lack of information. Often, it's that the information is scattered.

A date might be on the website. A reminder could be in an app notification. The lunch menu is buried in a PDF. The newsletter arrived by email last Friday. Parents know the answer is somewhere; finding it is another matter.

SchoolDayHub gives that information a natural home.

For school staff, it also provides a straightforward way to keep everyday content current without continually making changes to the full school website.

Most importantly, it doesn't ask schools to rip up the systems they've spent years putting in place.

SchoolDayHub simply connects the dots.

It's free for schools and free for parents, giving existing communication tools a useful companion and families a quicker way to answer that familiar question:

What's happening at school today?
