Make school communication easier to take in
Tell us what families are juggling, what staff are chasing and what your current setup makes harder than it should be. We will show you how Kastr brings it together, with a practical view of migration, pricing and implementation.
| Minutes | What we cover | What helps | What you leave with |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 | Your school, your families and the communication work that needs to feel calmer. | Your current setup, priorities and timing. | A clear picture of whether Kastr is a fit. |
| 10–20 | Kastr in action: everyday messages, combined briefings, family checklists, translation, community groups, contextual questions and reminders. | Examples of the messages, groups or tasks your team handles today, plus the languages families use. | A practical view of how your workflows can come together. |
| 20–30 | Migration, rollout and the commercial details, including published pricing and the agreement. | Student count, current provider and any procurement questions. | A sensible next step for your school, with the information to take back to your team. |
Bring the people and questions that matter. We will make the time useful, whether you are comparing options, planning a move or simply looking for a clearer way forward.
Start with what your school needs
Every school has its own rhythm. A busy front office, teachers with updates to share, families managing forms, appointments and the rest of life. Start with the moments that currently create the most chasing, repeated questions or lost context.
We will show you the relevant parts of Kastr, then talk through the people, timing and information that matter to your school. The goal is a better decision, not a generic product tour.
You will see: how staff send everyday updates and urgent news, how contributions become one clear family briefing, how tasks stay visible until they are complete, and how questions keep their original context. We will also show translation previews, parent community groups, migration, rollout and the commercial details in plain language.
Who this conversation is for
This is for school and district teams who want communication to feel more joined up. It is especially useful when:
- You are a district of roughly 1,000 students or more, and comms is a line item you can see clearly in the budget.
- Your renewal lands between now and next spring, and you want a comparison number before the incumbent's quote arrives.
- You want staff updates, family tasks and follow-up to work as one experience.
- You are planning ahead for a more considered school-to-home communication setup.
Bring your questions. We will give you direct answers and point you to the product, pricing and trust information your team needs.
A clear route from conversation to rollout
Good implementation starts with a clear picture of your school. We will work with you on the right sequencing for your team, including the people to involve, the data to prepare and the communication plan families will receive.
Migration is part of the conversation from the beginning. If you have an export to hand, we can look at it together. If you are earlier in the process, we will show you what a well-planned transition looks like and what to prepare when the time is right.
Everything should earn its place. That includes the conversation. You will leave with a practical answer to what Kastr can do for your school and what a thoughtful rollout could look like.
Book a conversation
Email ross@getkastr.com with your school or district name, approximate enrolment and the communication challenge you want to solve. A 30-minute slot is at cal.com/kastr/intro if you would rather choose a time directly.
If migration is on your mind, you can bring a redacted export or simply tell us which platform you use today. We will make sure the conversation meets you where you are.
Questions people actually ask
What happens in the first conversation?
We start with your school, then show the parts of Kastr that are most relevant to your families and staff. We cover the communication experience, migration, rollout and pricing, with time for the questions your team needs answered.
Do we need to share district data first?
No. A conversation can begin with the platform you use today and the challenges you want to solve. If you want to discuss migration in more detail, a redacted or partial export is useful but never required for the first call.
Can we see the family experience?
Yes. We will show how a family receives a combined school briefing, sees the actions that matter, completes tasks and asks questions with the right context attached.
What does a rollout look like?
We map the right sequence for your school, covering the people to involve, the data to prepare, staff onboarding and family communications. The plan is shaped around your school calendar and priorities.
Where can we see pricing?
Pricing is published at getkastr.com/pricing. We will help you understand the numbers for your enrolment and the scope your school needs.
One price. Every feature. Locked for three years.
$3.50 per student per year under 5,000 students. No tiers or add-on modules. Normal messaging is included under a published fair-use allowance, with transparent cost recovery only above it.
