Apptegy, a leading provider of school communication tools, is proud to announce that its Apptegy School Communication Platform has been selected as a winner in Tech & Learning’s 2025 Best for Back to School contest under the Primary / Secondary category.

This award recognizes education products that demonstrate outstanding value, innovation, and impact for teaching and learning environments as schools return for the new academic year. Tech & Learning judges evaluated nominated products based on their versatility, value, and ability to solve specific problems to support innovative, effective teaching and learning.

An Apptegy user praised Apptegy for how it “improves daily instruction and allows for classrooms to open their doors to showcase learning outside the four walls.” In secondary contexts, teachers highlighted the platform’s ability to strengthen school-to-home communication, create opportunities for older students to share their voices, and facilitate deeper connections between schools and families.

“At Apptegy, we believe that positive, relevant and frequent school communication is foundational to family satisfaction and student success,” said Tyler Vawser, VP of Marketing at Apptegy. “We are honored that Tech & Learning has recognized our platform among this year’s best. This award affirms our ongoing commitment to giving schools solutions that not only inform, but truly engage their communities in the learning journey.”
