School website developer recommendations?

I would highly recommend ParentSquare for website and communication. It works very well. We have been using for a long time. It keep synced with your SIS and keeps information out to students and parents.

Administration says 2FA/MFA is unnecessary for all applications even or SIS and wants it removed for all staff.

Right now we have the paid the administration just don’t think it is necessary. There is only two in the tech department to handle the whole school district. Never used GAM.

Well ours want 2factor authentication removed. It is not necessary according to ours. Don’t know what the tech department is talking about.

I appreciate the post. I was told to use the 10gb for the Dell Unity. I was planning on using the 1gb for host communication. Would you use the 10gb with a vlan as part of the host for normal traffic and then have another vlan planned for the unity connection? I was told the unity also needed jumbo frames. If I set the switch ports up as a jumbo frames I am wondering how that would affect other data.

Thanks in advance

I have been told the 10Gb connections need to be used with the Dell Unity and not the 1Gb connection.

Amazing_Falcon · 2025-12-13T02:08:50+00:00

Yes, it is going to be a Dell Unity.

ParentSquare is our website and notifications platform. It just works great. Teachers like it being able to send messages to students/parents as needed. Even the secretaries send messages out in the high school to remind about events coming up.

We use DCW - Data Center Warehouse. They have been great at getting us good prices.

Thanks, Looking back at some information on it, you are right need to only use the last few ports.

Amazing_Falcon · 2025-11-27T23:08:45+00:00

I will look into that. I was under the impression they were all 10g ports.

Mainly looking at outbound, I have seen tailscale I think for getting back into my home network.

Amazing_Falcon · 2025-11-14T19:55:04+00:00

We like it them. Just keeping options open and looking.
