School Stream is a school communication app for Android, iOS, and the web. Schools can send targeted notices, reminders, and newsletters to parents, and create digital forms for permission slips, excursions, and absentees with digital signatures. Messaging supports unlimited school-to-home communication, including private messages to families and groups. Schools can publish event details with permission notes, times, and maps, and sync online calendars. School Stream Forms can accept payments, with processing handled by Stripe. On-demand translation supports communication in over 100 languages. Schools can see who reads notices and when, and manage parent accounts and groups. The site says data at rest is encrypted with 256-bit AES and services use at least TLS 1.2; servers are in Australia's AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) region. CMS content history and deleted items can be restored for up to 30 days. Each school has a dedicated Customer Success Manager for support and training. School Stream is owned and operated by Schoolzine. Family access is free, while school pricing is available on request.
