For independent & charter K-12 schools

Your school runs on too many tools. Pipplo is the one that holds them together.

Attendance, dismissal, real-time alerts, events, permission slips and volunteer management, in one app for the front office and the families they serve.

Now onboarding pilot schools for the 2026 to 2027 school year.

The picture today

Six tools. Six logins. One stressed-out office.

Schools didn't choose this stack on purpose. It accumulated. Pipplo replaces the patchwork with a single workflow staff and families both actually use.

A texting service for urgent messages

Permission slips emailed as PDFs

Sign-up sheets in a shared spreadsheet

Volunteer forms in a Google Drive folder

A dismissal phone tree the office runs by hand

A school calendar that nobody syncs

One Pipplo workspace for the whole school year.

What Pipplo does

Five workflows your school is already running. Now in one place.

The school day is full enough. The software shouldn't add to it.

Emergency communication

One message goes everywhere at once, and you can see who's read it.

When something serious happens, Pipplo fires push, email, and an in-app banner in the same second. Staff watch the read count climb in real time, so the office only has to follow up with the handful of families who haven't seen the message yet, not all of them.

  1. 06:42:01

    Office sends “Snow day, school closed today.”

  2. 06:42:02

    Push notification delivered to 412 family devices.

  3. 06:42:03

    Email delivered to 387 inboxes.

  4. 06:42:04

    In-app banner pinned for 412 accounts.

  5. 06:51:33

    318 of 412 families have opened the message.

  6. 07:05:20

    Office calls the 22 families still unread, directly, by name.
