🇨🇦 Hosted in Canada. Canadian schools can confidently share photos and names of students knowing data is stored only on Canadian servers, in compliance with Canadian privacy law.
Built for School Success
Over 10 years of experience working with school administrators. Bell schedules. Block rotations. Lunch menus. Gym schedules. Most signage software wasn’t built from the start with your priorities in mind — ours was.
- Encourage student participation in extracurricular activities.
- Show current events or school news automatically, to reduce administrative effort and time.
- Direct specific content to specific screens — e.g. lunch menus in the cafeteria, gym schedule at the gym.
- Celebrate your graduates.
For secondary schools with day/block rotations, helps get students to the right class at the right time, every day!
Works Out of the Box
Live on Day One
Your screens go live with your school’s logo and colors from the start — no lengthy setup, no complicated software to learn. School office staff already handle the website, the monthly newsletter, and social media. Digital signage shouldn’t be one more thing to figure out.
- News, social posts, events, and website content shown automatically
- Web links auto-convert to short URLs and QR codes
- Delegate content creation to other staff — or students
- Schedule content in advance for specific times

Manage It From Your Phone
No other digital signage platform is this mobile-friendly.
Post new content from the hallway in front of the screen, or from home on a Saturday. If your school also uses the School Connection mobile app, everything lives in one dashboard — one login, one place to manage both.

District IT — Everything You Need to Standardize
School districts standardize on School Connection Digital Signage across all their schools and buildings, because:
- Single sign-on included. Google or Microsoft SSO, at no extra cost — not an upsell.
- District-wide emergency override, while day-to-day content stays managed at the school level.
- District-wide news and calendar support.
- Centralized device management across ChromeOS, Windows, or Android.
- District IT can access building-level dashboards directly.
Why Cloud-Based Signage?
Digital signage used to mean running video cable and installing distribution amplifiers — expensive, inflexible, and unable to show different content in different locations.
School Connection Digital Signage runs on the network you already have — Wi-Fi or wired. That means:
- No new infrastructure to install.
- Update content instantly from any browser, anywhere.
- Show different content on different screens — front entrance, cafeteria, gym.

Reynolds Secondary School
“I am a huge fan! … I often receive opportunities for my students in the morning, and because I can sent it out immediately on the Reynolds app and the Digital Signage, my students get access to it first. They can respond before students at other schools find out about it. It is money well spent. Shout out to the support team; any issues are resolved right away.” When the Reynolds Secondary Robotics team went to the 2024 world championships in Houston, Texas, Lynne put the Twitch TV live stream up on their five Appazur Digital Signage displays so the whole school could share in the excitement.
- Lynne Turnbull, Career Center Coordinator, Reynolds Secondary School, Victoria BC Canada.
Clayton Heights Secondary School
“We were looking for an efficient and flexible multimedia presentation format to get out information to students. PA announcements weren’t working for several reasons. Students were often late and missed the announcements, and teachers tended to use that time to take attendance so the announcements got lost in their start up ritual. There was no stop and listen moment for staff and students, and the PA system was getting older which was also challenging… Appazur was chosen by our school district because the digital signage TV’s and the mobile app go hand in hand. Students check the news often! It shows when we see the number of students who attend meetings, or dress up for spirit days. … They love the linkage from the app to the TV’s, and that they don’t miss important news. Finally, we’re very happy with the customer service that is offered. When there is an issue, you give our staff guidance on how to resolve it.”
- Baljit Ranu, Principal, Clayton Heights Secondary School, Surrey BC Canada.
