ClassTag provides a free parent-teacher communication platform that automatically translates messages into numerous languages and delivers communications across email, SMS, app, web or even paper. The product serves two end users—parents and teachers—offering announcements, scheduling for parent-teacher conferences, and a parent engagement dashboard so teachers can monitor family engagement. The platform reports roughly 2 million users across 25,000 U.S. schools. ClassTag monetizes by allowing educational and family-friendly companies to advertise on the platform while sharing only aggregated demographic data (not personally identifiable information) and donating a portion of brand revenue to classrooms. The company emphasizes accessibility for families regardless of socioeconomic status, aiming to reach parents who may prefer text or paper over apps or email. Founders Vlada Lotkina and Jason Olim built the product to simplify information dissemination between schools and families.
