Smarter Schools Ahead: School Signals Introduces AI Communication Tools
In an announcement that is surely positioned to change the future of school communications, School Signals has now announced the launch of a suite of AI tools that enhance communication, improve safety, and support the many facets of todays school communities.
As sectors and organizations undergo and accelerate digital transformation, education is no different. Recent research from RAND noted that almost 60% of school principals use AI in their administrative practices. This increase in the use of AI suggests there is an increasing requirement for businesses like School Signals to provide intelligent, and adaptive communication platforms. School Signals believes that it brought these tools and support to the table with the introduction of a comprehensive AI toolkit for schools, school leaders, administrators and families.
“Communication is inherently human,” says James Shields, CEO of School Signals. “But AI can help close gaps, improve clarity, and bring greater efficiency—especially when time is short and accuracy is critical.”
At the core of this innovation are three flagship AI tools:
- AI Assist: Speeding Up the Creation of Communications
The AI Assist is a smart writer’s assistant to help school principals and communication teams develop timely announcements and updates. Users enter a draft or prompt and receive several revisions of their message in various tones – formal, friendly, informative, etc. – letting them select the best version for the message and the moment.
This feature saves valuable time and enables users to authentically convey consistency and clarity in complex school-wide messaging in a timely manner, adding to stakeholder [students, community members, staff] engagement.
- AI Monitor: Content Moderation for School Feeds
AI Monitor includes AWS Bedrock Guardrails to monitor content in the School Feed and Classroom Feeds for inappropriate language and concerning statements. The AI Monitor uses contextual AI filtering to moderate, rather than keyword filtering. The administrator can control the AI Monitor’s sensitivity classification and assist in cultivating a respectful communication space for stakeholders.
Shields explains, “AI-driven content monitoring improves the safety net by understanding context—not just catching words. It’s about supporting a secure digital culture in education.”
- AI Translate: Bridging Language Barriers with Multilingual Access
Recognizing the linguistic diversity in school communities, the AI Translate tool allows parents and guardians to set their preferred language and receive real-time translations of school communications. This inclusive feature ensures clear and equitable communication for non-English-speaking families, fostering stronger school-home partnerships.
Seamless Integration for Maximum Impact
These AI capabilities are now fully integrated into School Signals’ School Feed, Classroom Feed, and account settings, delivering a seamless user experience that aligns with the evolving expectations of digital-first school environments.
As the education sector increasingly turns to technology to improve operational outcomes, School Signals positions itself as a frontrunner, delivering AI tools that strike a balance between innovation, safety, and human-centric design.
For educational institutions looking to modernize communication workflows while maintaining a strong community ethos, School Signals’ AI suite offers a compelling, future-ready solution.
