Gabbart Communications mission is to connect Schools, Parents, and Communities through Cloud-Based communication tools, while enhancing parental involvement and improving public relations. We provide teachers with the tools they need to enhance the educational experience in a digital age.

Gabbart Communications has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide the “Best In Class” services to our school districts. Our school websites are hosted and pro-tected in the same data center as Netflix, Apple iCloud, Dropbox, Instagram, and Pinter-est. Load balancing, hourly backups, & unlimited storage for your data is provided at no additional charge.

Our pricing is determined by the total number of students, therefore both small and large schools are able to receive the same communication tools. Unlike our competitors, we won’t charge you more when we upgrade our content management system - everything in our quote is included! No hidden fees.

Gabbart Communications provides thousands of school sites across the nation. Our K12 Content Management System (CMS) is the easiest website management tool on the planet!

Gabbart Communications provides more than just a website. We provide teachers with the tools they need to enhance the educational experience in a digital age. Our complete CMS suite includes 25+ page types to allow you to focus on the content and not the technical. Drag & Drop pages, pictures, and modules where you need them. Publish homework and lesson plans with standards, documents, videos, and photos. Keep parents informed with text and email alerts with E-Notes.

To effectively achieve our mission, teacher training and support is essential. We have trained tens of thousands of teachers on our CMS, Lesson Plan System, and E-Notes. This has resulted in enhanced communications, increased parental involvement, and improved grades for nearly a million students we serve.

Our CMS has been custom designed for schools. It is the easiest CMS on the planet. We de-signed the CMS so that anyone from 7 to 70 or novice to Webmaster can create their own web pages. We include over 25 page types to choose from, so you can build as many pages as you need and only have to worry about the content and not the technical. If you can imagine it, it can be built with a couple of mouse clicks. It is so easy that teachers can have content wealthy web pages with minimal training. Webmasters can add widgets, iFrame websites within the school site, and even have the option to edit html code to modify the page content as needed.

Gabbart Communications is different from other web hosting providers because of the personal relationship we form with our schools. Having a dedicated sales/trainer/support person provides accountability and a personal touch to the school district. A 99% renewal rating since 2007 means we have a lot of satisified customers.

Training and Support is our #1 priority. We can come to your school and train your Website Administrators, Instructional Technologist, and / or Teachers. Our teacher training classes are both motivational and technical. We focus time discussing WHY teachers need to have a web-site, content ideas, and how to create pages and add content. Our trainers develop a good relationship with your teachers and staff so that they feel very comfortable calling us when they need support. At the conclusion of the class, teachers are given their trainers personal cell phone number. When they call for support, they actually get to talk to the person who trained them. They will not be talking to a call center. Gabbart Communications also provides FREE regional training classes for your website administrators every summer.

Gabbart Communications becomes an extension of your IT department, by supporting your webmaster, school administrators, and teachers. We remove the website related headaches from your IT Department and School Administration, allowing them to focus on other tasks.

If you are looking for an easy website to navigate and edit that is backed with a great support staff, Gabbart Communications is the only company you need to use. Period.

Finally a company who understands the demands of schools and what they need to customize their school websites! My staff and administrators are fabulously pleased! No matter who I call at Gabbart, their commitment to respectful friendly service is tops bar none else! The friendly, fast customer service beats all expectations you could possibly imagine. I feel like I’m calling family to help when the Gabbart staff jumps to the rescue! Thrilled to be able to assign permissions to those who are up close and personal with their own school sites and can keep them the flavor and personality of their student body. It has freed me from micromanaging the total site!

We just partnered with Gabbart in Summer 2014. We can already tell the sense of pride in our website from our students, faculty, and community. Our Superintendent has received positive feedback from all directions, and I have even received random Facebook messages from members in the community just to simply show their gratitude for the new website. It is amazing how far we’ve come in a short time and looking forward to it evolving even more. I must say that when you select Gabbart, you don’t just gain another vendor...you also gain friendships.

“ “Gabbart Communications customer service can’t be beat! Everyone I have ever spoken with has been very helpful and extremely courteous. Whenever I have had a question the person who answers the phone can help. (No being transferred to higher level support) I had never set up or managed a web page before, Gabbart made it easy!

Our overall satisfaction with Gabbart Communications could not be greater. The ease of their program, their incredible customer service and the wonderful graphics they have available provide for us the ability to offer our community a well-designed, up-to-date and informative website. We could not reach our parents and students anywhere near as effectively without the invaluable service from Gabbart Communications.

Gabbart support team is available almost 24/7. No problem is too simple or too complex. Members of their expert staff are always willing take the extra step to make sure the website functions and looks the way we have envisioned. Gabbart’s team welcomes and accepts suggestions about updates, changes, etc. to their product. They are always striving to make improvements that make the process of keeping students and parents informed easier to accomplish.

If you have previously used another web hosting service, either in-house or through another company, Gabbart’s Website excels far above any other website company! Just like with any other technology, you want it to be efficient, flexible, and user friendly. My Gabbart site is all of that and so much more. Not to mention, our graphic designer was awesome! She was revising, designing, and keeping in touch with me faster than I could answer her next question.

I love that Gabbart Communications has made it easy to make my website my own. What was once something that I was required to do for my school and district, has now become an integral part of my classroom. I don’t know what I would do without it! My website through Gabbart has allowed for a seamless home-to-school connection, so what I teach at school can then be extended when kids get home. It also makes my life easier as a teacher, allowing me to house all of the information that I want everyone to know in one place. Gabbart has made creating and implementing a website for my class both fun and easy. I like the fact that once you put the time and effort in initially, you are able to easily manipulate things at a later date.

Prior to partnering with Gabbart Communications, we had great vision for our site but did not have the tools or support necessary to set that vision in motion. Gabbart provided those tools that allowed us to communicate with students, parents and community through our website. Since partnering with Gabbart in 2011, we have not looked back; we have only looked forward to the possibilities that this partnership has to offer!

We have been working with Gabbart for two years now, and have no intention of changing that scenario regardless of E-rate changes. In addition to an eye-pleasing and functional user-friendly website, the program is full of useful tools. It is a very powerful management system that includes a parent notification system, integrated student and staff e-mail options, and lesson planning programs that are aligned to our state’s curricular standards. Gabbart’s customer service is second to none. They know us by name and have been very responsive to every request we have made, quickly and effectively. I highly recommend Gabbart Communications to any school district interested in a quality website service.

Frankly, there is no way Friona ISD is going to think about changing web providers. Everything about Gabbart’s service is top-notch. Teachers love the ease of use, parents love all the new information that is available at their fingertips, and our Webmasters are thrilled with all the options available. Gabbart’s Customer Service is ridiculously awesome and every single employee is helpful, has a bright smile and lots of tips and tricks. Working with Gabbart Communications is one of the best decisions we have made for Technology at Friona ISD.

Crockett ISD changed our website host this year to Gabbart and we could not be more pleased and excited about the change. We have had outstanding service from the very beginning. Frankie has answered every call, text, email that he has been sent and the other folks have also gone above and beyond when we have need helped. We can upload pictures right from our phone when at sporting events, FFA events or other school related events. The thing that I have found most useful so far is the way that we can add information or pictures to the site, give it a starting date and ending date and the site automatically turns it on and off. I never have to worry about did I take that off the webpage yet or not. Our school and our students are shown in such a positive way through the website! People only have to goggle or search for CISD, CHS, Crockett Bulldogs and through Gabbart they come straight to our site. We are all so proud of the way the site looks and how user friendly it is…Thanks Gabbart Awesome Job!

E-Notes replace paper handouts that never make it home. E-Notes are E-Mail and Text messages sent directly to parents & students. When an E-Note is added to the website, people can subscribe for information to be sent to them. Subjects subscribed to can include: District, Campuses, Organizations, Athletics, Classes, Teachers, etc. School Administrators use E-Notes to send messages about upcoming events, school cancellations, and news that involve the school. Teachers use E-Notes to notify parents about upcoming tests and classroom projects.Coaches send practice schedules and let parents know when they will be returning from games.

Teachers can easily display their current lesson plans or choose to use our built-in lesson plan page type. As teachers build their curriculum library through out the year it will be available year after year. Once created, lessons can be emailed to their Principal or a Parent. Also, Lesson Plans can be subscribed to so that when lessons are added or updated, it will be modified on recipients calendar or phone. Each lesson provides a personal notes area that only the teacher can see, so she can reflect on the lesson and make notes for future years.
