School digital signage: a practical guide
School digital signage is a set of TVs in hallways, the main office, the cafeteria and the library that show bell schedules, daily announcements, lunch menus, events and emergency notices in place of paper flyers. With WidgitBoard you build each board in a drag-and-drop editor, open its link on a Smart TV or Fire TV Stick, and update it from any computer. It costs $19.99 a month for every screen on campus.
How to set up digital signage in a school
- 1
Start from the education template
Choose the school board and add your school name, mascot or crest, and colors. It comes with sections for announcements, schedules and upcoming events.
- 2
Decide who owns each board
Agree who posts announcements, who updates the lunch menu and who handles athletics, so content stays current without piling onto the front office.
- 3
Mount screens where people pause
Main entrances, cafeteria lines and hallway junctions work well. Open the display link in the TV's browser or on a Fire TV Stick, sign in once, and go full screen.
- 4
Name every screen and schedule by period
Create named displays such as Main Office, Cafeteria, Gym Lobby and Library, each with its own board. Schedules can show the lunch menu on the Cafeteria screen only at lunchtime.
What to show on school screens
Today's bell schedule
Show the day's schedule with a clock, and swap to the assembly or early-release version when the day changes.
Lunch menu
Post today's meals and any substitutions on the cafeteria screen so the line keeps moving.
Countdown to key dates
Countdowns to exams, spirit week, graduation or the next break give students a clear sense of what's coming.
Club and athletics updates
Game times, club meeting rooms, tryout dates and results from last night's match, updated by the coach or advisor.
Weather and closures
A weather widget helps with recess and dismissal planning, and an urgent announcement can cover delays or closures.
Achievements and student work
Celebrate team wins, art pieces and academic awards in general terms, with permission, and without personal details.
What digital signage costs for a school
A typical school places screens at the main entrance, front office, cafeteria, gym lobby, library, staff room and several hallway junctions.
- On per-screen plans, 10 screens cost $960–$2,400 a year.
- WidgitBoard costs $190 a year for all 10 screens — and any you add later.

School digital signage FAQ
What should a school show on hallway screens?
Keep it short and useful for people walking past: the bell schedule, today's announcements, upcoming events, club and game times, the lunch menu near the cafeteria, and weather or closure notices when they matter.
What hardware does a school need for digital signage?
Only a screen with a browser. WidgitBoard runs on any Smart TV browser, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Raspberry Pi, tablet or computer connected to a display, so there is no proprietary player to buy.
Can we push an urgent message to every screen at once?
Yes. An urgent announcement overrides normal content on your screens and can have a start and end time, which suits snow delays, schedule changes or building notices. Signed-in screens update within seconds.
Is it safe to show student information on school screens?
Keep students' private information off the screens. Hallway displays are seen by visitors as well as students, so stick to general announcements, schedules and events, and check your school's own policies before showing names or photos.
How much does digital signage cost for a school?
WidgitBoard is $19.99 a month or $190 a year for unlimited screens. Per-screen signage tools typically charge $8 to $20 per screen per month, so a ten-screen school pays $960 to $2,400 a year on those plans.
