Dear Central 104 Families and Staff, On February 01, 2024, ClassTag has officially been renamed SchoolStatus Connect. As a result of the rebrand, you may notice new colors and a new logo. If you use the mobile app, your app icon may automatically update to the new logo. We have been assured that these changes should not impact your ability to access the platform just as you always have. You may continue to see the "ClassTag" name and brand appear as the SchoolStatus team continues the work to transition all pieces to the new branding. Here is a full list of rebranding updates you can expect. Here are a few navigational updates. If you have any questions about these changes, you can reach out to their support team at support-ct@schoolstatus.com. Central 104 Administration
