For k-12 schools
Reign for k-12 schools. School + parent + student intranet.
The pain
Schools use Google Classroom + ClassDojo + a Wix homepage - parents juggle apps, teachers re-post in 3 places, no single hub for the community.
The Reign answer
Reign + BuddyNext + Learnomy provides a unified school intranet: parent portal, class groups, homework, announcements and community. Both plugins install free, which matters on a school budget. BuddyPress and LifterLMS work the same way.
The free route
Class groups, homework, announcements and document sharing, free to install. You buy the Reign theme; BuddyNext and Learnomy are ours and install free.
- BuddyNext community engine
- Learnomy courses

FAQ
K-12 school-specific questions.
GDPR / FERPA compliance for student data?
WordPress can host FERPA-compliant data IF the host signs a DPA, you enforce 2FA, and you audit data access. Talk to your school district IT before storing student PII.
Can teachers post homework via mobile?
Yes. The BuddyNext interface is mobile-responsive, and the WordPress mobile app covers native posting.
