SCHOOL & CAMPUS DISPLAYS
Run a clear, calm information board for schools and campuses that flips through the day's essentials. flaps.tv shows dismissal calls, event schedules, and student-center notices on any screen in the building, customized from a template and updated live as the day unfolds.

A school dismissal board that counts down to the next pickup wave — 2:45, 2:55, 3:05, and 3:15 — while a blue ticker tracks bus A loading, bus C waiting, and the car line, above a "keep pickup cards visible" reminder. Front offices aim it out a lobby window or at the parent loop so families know exactly when their wave is called.
A campus events board that counts down to the next event, cycles today's lineup — career fair, film club, guest lecture, open lab — and flips announcements like late library hours and finals-week coffee. Student centers, libraries, and department lobbies run it as always-on signage that student workers can update in a browser without a designer or a print run.
Planning campus displays that keep up with the school day
Different screens on campus do different jobs, and the grid should match. A dismissal board wants one row per lane or bus with a large number and status column, readable from the far end of a gym; a student-center board fits eight to ten event rows with time, room, and club columns. Fork a template per purpose rather than forcing one layout to do both, and size rows and columns in the editor against the actual viewing distance in that hallway.
Automate the feeds that change constantly. Point a live data widget at a JSON export from your SIS or dismissal system and called students flip onto the board in real time — no one retyping names at the busiest moment of the day. Bell schedules pair well with a countdown widget ticking to the next period change. Live data sources sit on the Business plan, which also covers unlimited displays, a fit for a campus running boards in every building.
Scenes carry the day's rhythm. Load morning announcements, the lunch menu, and afternoon activities as separate scenes with durations, and the hallway screen rotates through them without a staff member touching it; swap in an early-release scene on special days from the dashboard and every screen updates at once. Departments can still own their content — each office forks and edits its own board — while the front office keeps the shared scenes accurate across the building in real time.

Can a dismissal board update as students are called?
Yes. Feed it from your dismissal or SIS system via JSON and names flip onto the board in real time as each one is released.
Will it work on the displays already in our hallways?
Any browser-capable TV or screen works, so schools typically cast boards to existing displays with no new hardware budget.
Can different departments manage their own boards?
Each office can fork and edit its own board, changing text, colors, and feeds independently while sharing one platform.
How much does a school display cost?
Boards are free to build and test, so staff can prepare everything before budget approval. Going live costs $8/mo per single display on Starter, $29/mo for five on Pro, or $79/mo on Business for unlimited screens across a campus plus live data feeds.
Can one hallway screen change content through the school day?
Yes. Load morning announcements, the lunch menu, and the dismissal board as separate scenes with set durations, and the display rotates on its own. Staff push a change once from the dashboard and every connected screen updates in real time.
