Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • September 22, 2026 Content Pro adds AI page building and accessibility automation.
  • February and March 2026 launches of Attendance Pro and Community Experience deepen wallet share.
  • July 2026 Staff Connect and Level Access expand Apptegy into internal and accessibility workflows.

What critics are saying

  • ParentSquare, Finalsite, and PowerSchool target the same district budgets at renewal.
  • Apptegy’s 5,250-district platform depends on slow public-school procurement cycles and superintendent turnover.
  • If districts standardize on bundled SIS vendors, Apptegy becomes a replaceable feature, not infrastructure.

What makes Apptegy unique

  • Apptegy spans websites, alerts, apps, family messaging, staff intranet, and community support.
  • It brands every district site and app under the school’s own identity.
  • September 2026 Level Access integration adds accessibility personalization without separate vendor management.

Apptegy's 2026 SchoolCEO Conference Draws 300+ K-12 Leaders to Dallas; Frisco ISD's Jacque Ballent Named Excellence in School Marketing Award Winner

Apptegy's 2026 SchoolCEO Conference Draws 300+ K-12 Leaders to Dallas; Frisco ISD's Jacque Ballent Named Excellence in School Marketing Award Winner TMCnet News [October 12, 2026] | / | Apptegy's 2026 SchoolCEO Conference Draws 300+ K-12 Leaders to Dallas; Frisco ISD's Jacque Ballent Named Excellence in School Marketing Award Winner Nearly 400 K-12 communications professionals, technology leaders, and district administrators gathered in Dallas on Sept. 28-29 for Apptegy's 2026 SchoolCEO Conference: All In-AI, Brand, and Communications. The largest and best conference yet drew attendees from across North America, to the Fairmont Dallas for sessions focused on how school districts can use artificial intelligence responsibly, drive enrollment, meet compliance requirements, strengthen their brands, and communicate more effectively with families, staff, and their communities. Attendees did more than listen. They worked through strategies and ideas on site, so they had something tangible they could put into action as soon as they returned to their districts. Day 1: New research, new innovation, and practical sessions The conference opened with findings from new SchoolCEO research. In July 2026, 1,016 parents who had recently completed a school transition were surveyed. More than half (54.1%) of families did not enroll their child in their zoned public school. The research found that who makes the decision shifts as children grow. Just 19% of parents said their child's preference drove the choice at the kindergarten stage, compared with 59% for high school. When asked what made them confident in their choice, parents most often picked "safe" (59%) and "welcoming" (58%), while fewer than 9% chose "rigorous." More findings will be published in the Fall 2026 issue of SchoolCEO Magazine. In the Innovations Keynote, Apptegy Chief Product and Technology Officer Charlie Lang walked through the company's newest product releases, including recently released Attendance Pro, Community Experience, Staff Connect, and the newest solution, Content Pro, which includes: * AI Page Builder - turns an existing PDF into a web-ready page so information is more accessible, discoverable, and easier to maintain. * Level Access - an accessibility feature on every page that lets visitors adjust text size, contrast, and language, while helping districts address common accessibility issues automatically. * Content Creator - an AI assistant built specifically for K-12 communications that can build effective multi-channel content from a single prompt. A session on the ADA Title II update helped districts prepare for the April 2027 accessibility deadline, encouraging teams to build habits like writing alt text, headings, and captions as they create content, and to pioritize the documents families use most, such as enrollment forms, calendars, handbooks, and menus. Other Monday session topics included fixing enrollment and crafting a crisis communications plan. Day 2: Recognition, awards, and strategy-driven keynotes On Day 2, SchoolCEO named Jacque Ballent, MBA, marketing and special projects facilitator at Frisco ISD in Texas, the winner of its 2026 Excellence in School Marketing Award. Ballent joined the district in July 2024 and helped launch Access Frisco, an open enrollment initiative that brought in 276 new students in its first year and 930 in its second. With more than 1,200 out-of-district transfers to date, the program has had a multimillion-dollar annual revenue impact. The three other finalists honored at the conference were: * Cristina Capretta, APR, director of marketing and community relations, Berea City School District (Ohio) * Brittany Cowan, director of marketing, Denver Public Schools (Colorado) * Skyler Hefley, director of communications, Longview ISD (Texas) Full stories on all four finalists will appear in print and online in the forthcoming Fall 2026 issue of SchoolCEO Magazine. Day 2 also featured three keynote speakers, each of whom had attendees apply their ideas on the spot: * Rebecca Bultsma, a featured Forbes expert on AI ethics and a former school division communications director, offered a practical roadmap for using AI to interpret data, surface insights, and improve communications plans, then led attendees through writing their own prompts. * Emma Stratton, founder of the B2B positioning firm Punchy and best-selling author of Make It Punchy, shared a formula for writing messages parents will actually open and read, then guided attendees through drafting real messaging about an upcoming project. * Jessica Chen, communication strategist, Columbia University instructor, and bestselling author of Smart, Not Loud: How to Get Noticed at Work for All the Right Reasons, closed with a framework for building a culture of visibility, helping school leaders talk about their work and comms pros collect proof that their districts are succeeding every day. "At the close of the conference, I asked everyone to raise a hand if they were leaving with at least one aha idea or strategy they were committing to taking home and putting into action," said Shannon Williams, chief marketing officer of Apptegy. "Hands went up everywhere. That's the real win. Leaving ready to put these key strategies into action." Hear more about Apptegy's Latest Innovations You can hear more about Charlie Lang's keynote at the Apptegy Innovation Showcase Webinar on Oct. 13, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT / 2 p.m. ET. Lang, Apptegy Chief Product & Technology Officer, will be joined by Drew Doman, Blake Sutherland, and Shannon Williams. The webinar follows up on the innovations showcased at the SchoolCEO Conference and dives deeper into what is now live, how districts are already using it, and where the platform is headed. It will focus on the recent launches, including Content Pro, and on Apptegy's direction toward helping families choose and stay with districts that feel safe, welcoming, responsive, and trusted.

CCPS moving to Apptegy July 1.

CCPS moving to Apptegy July 1. CCPS moving to new communications platform. Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) is shifting to a new communications platform in July to help streamline communication between schools and families. CCPS has contracted with Apptegy, a platform that provides website hosting, mass communication, social media posting and two-way parent and staff communication. All changes noted below are effective July 1, 2026. New look for CCBOE.com As part of the platform launch, CCPS will now host the school system website, and school/center websites through Apptegy. The sites will feature updated designs, easier navigation and consolidated menu structures. The CCPS website will remain www.ccboe.com. However, current website links will change; CCPS will create redirects so parents and staff who have bookmarked important pages, such as school websites, will not lose resources. However, some web URLs may not be updated. Once the new website is live, CCPS will share overview videos so parents, staff and website visitors can quickly learn how to easily navigate the new website. Phone calls, emails Emails continuing from [email protected] CCPS will move to a new mass communication tool as part of the move to Apptegy. CCPS email messages will still come to parents from [email protected] (or through Synergy Mail). The new system will also handle absence notifications and other CCPS or school-related automatic calls, with calls coming from school phone numbers, and text message alerts. New mobile app CCPS will debut a new mobile app on July 1 that will feature push notification alerts, translated content based on the user's preferred language and access to a new two-way parent communication tool called Rooms. The app will feature CCPS news, events and the ability to see the overall CCPS calendar, as well as school/center calendars. The new app will be available in the Apple/Google app stores July 1. Search for Charles County PS (MD) and look for the CCPS Think, Inspire, Grow logo. Stay connected via text alerts. As part of the transition, CCPS text alerts will now come from 98900. Parents and staff who have cell phone numbers on file with CCPS (parents - Synergy; staff - Oracle), will automatically receive text messages from CCPS. To ensure parents and staff don't miss important CCPS or school updates, CCPS recommends staying opted in to receive CCPS and school notifications through text. However, if parents and staff prefer not to receive these updates, they can opt out by texting STOP to 98900. After July 1, CCPS and school text alerts will no longer come from 67587. ParentVue/ StudentVue and Canvas remain. CCPS is not moving away from Synergy, the student information system that supports ParentVue and StudentVue, or from Canvas, the learning management system (LMS) used by teachers to post class assignments, assessments, and class webpages. These platforms remain in place for the 2026-2027 school year. Two-way communication tool - Rooms launching August 2026 As part of the communication platform change, CCPS will use a new two-way parent communication tool called Rooms. Rooms will launch in August with the start of the 2026-2027 school year. As of July 1, CCPS will no longer use or support Talking Points or Class Dojo for school-to-home parent communication. Outside of Rooms, the only other CCPS supported and monitored communication tools are Synergy Mail, CCPS email or sportsYou (mobile app for athletics and clubs). Parents can sign in to Rooms from the CCPS mobile app, or log in from the main CCPS website (coming July 1). Parents will also receive a text message about any new Rooms post or message (prompting them to log into either the CCPS mobile app or the Rooms area of the website). In Rooms, communication between parents, staff and teachers is translated into the user's preferred language. Rooms will launch live for staff and teachers on Aug. 17, when teachers return for the school year. Parent access to Rooms will be available after Aug. 24. Use of Rooms is optional for teachers and staff; however, it is the only CCPS approved two-way communication tool (other than the sportsYou app for athletics and clubs).
