Lighting the Way: How Kinkaid Schools Transformed Campus Communication with AIScreen

The Problem

Kinkaid Schools needed a unified way to inform and engage students and staff across multiple buildings. Flyers, emails, and bulletin boards weren’t keeping up with a busy campus.

The Problem

Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools relied on outdated communication methods, including printed flyers, PA system announcements, and emails that were often overlooked. Important updates, event reminders, and emergency alerts were frequently missed, leading to inefficiencies and low engagement among students, staff, and parents. The school needed a modern, real-time solution to ensure clear and effective communication throughout the district.

The Problem

The Mississippi School for the Deaf relied on traditional communication methods like printed notices and sign language interpreters, often resulting in delays and missed updates. Emergency alerts, schedule changes, and event reminders couldn’t be communicated instantly, limiting accessibility for students and staff. With a visually-focused learning environment, the school needed a modern, real-time solution to improve engagement and ensure essential information was delivered efficiently.

About Kinkaid Schools

At Kinkaid Schools education spans from toddlers to Grade 12 across multiple buildings, Montessori, elementary, middle, and high school, on one unified campus. With over 900 students and staff spread across diverse programs, keeping everyone connected and informed was a recurring challenge. Flyers faded underfoot. Bulletin boards filled up fast. Emails and apps were missed or ignored.

 

Cotter needed a vibrant, centralized communications channel, one that fostered community, celebrated student achievement, and responded instantly to changing needs. That’s where AIScreen came in.

A Campus with Many Voices, but No Single Stage

Cotter prides itself on strong academics, the arts, and athletics, rivaling any small college, and its campus is rich in activity. But communication was fragmented:

 

  • Announcements were printed and taped up, often too late or in the wrong place.

  • Achievements like STEM wins, jazz festivals, and athletic milestones didn’t get the spotlight they deserved.

  • Emergency alerts and room changes required manual updates, time-sensitive but delayed.

The leadership asked: What if every hallway, cafeteria, and entryway could be a link to news, culture, and community pride, in real time?

 

AIScreen: A Platform Built for Connected Learning

After researching digital signage in education, the Cotter tech team chose AIScreen. Known for its ease, Google Slides integration, scheduling features, emergency alert capabilities, and free academic discount, it checked every box.

 

Installation spanned two buildings, cafeteria, lobby, gym hallways, with screens connected to the AIScreen cloud dashboard. Teachers, staff, and students could now update content instantly from simple tools.

 

“Link a Slide deck, and it updates everywhere,” admired the Director of Technology, Shane Lively.

Rolling Out a Digital Campus

Content strategy included:

 

  • Morning announcements auto-updating by daypart

  • Cafeteria menus synced daily, including nutritional notes

  • Student spotlights showcasing projects, awards, and performances

  • Event promos for Jazz Festival, Rambler Rally, athletics, and more

  • Emergency alerts broadcast across all screens in seconds

  • Community & donor recognition via partner-screen features

 

Soon, vibrant, timely content replaced stale flyers, and the campus came alive.
