One Licence Fee VS Paying Onflo Forever
One Licence Fee VS Paying Onflo Forever

Richland School District Two Campus Building
Co-designed with Richland School District Two. Priced for every district.
Co-designed with Richland School District Two. Priced for every district.
The most progressive K-12 districts are not waiting for legacy communications platforms to catch up. They are building infrastructure they own on technology their staff already use every day.
Steegle Talk was engineered and funded entirely by Steegle, co-designed in close collaboration with the technology leadership at Richland School District Two (SC), who shaped every workflow from real operational experience running a 28,000+ student, 4,000+ staff district.
The platform engineering is done. Every district simply pays for their own configuration, deployment and support, not the cost of inventing the software from scratch. That is why $3 per student is the right price, not a compromise.

Steegle Talk
Steegle Talk
As costs rose, the district adopted a Googlep-native solution for parent, school, and teacher communication. Steegle talk was built on infrastructure the district already owned and managed.
"After the success of our Google Sites intranet and internal ticketing system with Steegle, extending that to parent communications was a natural next step. We're a Google shop, so when we needed an external system, building it on Google Workspace made sense."
Tommy Carter
Chief Technology & Innovation Officer
Richland School District Two
"The implementation was smooth from start to finish. Steegle trained our staff, worked around school schedules, and stayed responsive throughout. With 4,000 staff across 37 schools, getting everyone up to speed quickly was critical, and they delivered."

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Steegle Talk replace Onflo / Let's Talk?
Can Steegle Talk replace Onflo / Let's Talk?
For the core parent‑dialogue workflow, yes. Steegle Dialogue is designed to manage parent intake, routing, tracking, staff notifications, parent email updates, and administrator reporting inside Google Workspace. During discovery, we map your current Onflo / Let's Talk workflows and confirm exactly what moves into your initial Steegle deployment. Districts already using Onflo will find the transition particularly straightforward as the workflows are very similar.
Which features are available now and which are on the roadmap?
Which features are available now and which are on the roadmap?
The launch platform includes parent web and email intake, query logging, smart routing by topic, school or department, staff notifications, parent email updates, status tracking, administrator visibility, and Google Workspace-based reporting. Roadmap and optional modules include mass communications, classroom messaging, surveys and feedback, board and district messaging, SMS, multilingual workflows, and additional integrations. During discovery we confirm what is included in your initial deployment and what can be added in a later phase.
What does "own it" actually mean?
What does "own it" actually mean?
Steegle Dialogue is deployed into your Google Workspace environment rather than hosted as a separate vendor communications database. Your district controls the data, permissions, retention, exports and day-to-day administration. Steegle provides implementation, configuration, support and updates. Contract terms define the exact rights to the configured application and any reusable Steegle components.
Can we really replace Onflo! or ParentSquare with a Google-native tool?
Can we really replace Onflo! or ParentSquare with a Google-native tool?
Yes. Most specialists simply provide a layer on top of a database. We build that same capability directly into your Google Infrastructure, ensuring seamless routing and notification without the vendor markup.
Do parents need a Gmail account or any app?
Do parents need a Gmail account or any app?
No. Parents communicate via normal email or a web form on your district website. They do not need Gmail, a Google account, or a mobile app. That keeps adoption friction low and avoids another parent login to manage.
How do the long-term savings work?
How do the long-term savings work?
You pay a one-time build fee to create your custom infrastructure. From Year 2 onwards, you only pay a flat support fee—allowing you to recover approximately 75% of your previous communication budget every year.
What if a teacher leaves mid-year? Do we lose their parent conversations?
What if a teacher leaves mid-year? Do we lose their parent conversations?
No. All tickets and message history are kept in the app, not on any individual's account. An admin can reassign open tickets to a new teacher, and the full conversation history stays intact.
What if a parent selects the wrong department in the online form?
What if a parent selects the wrong department in the online form?
Steegle Dialogue includes configurable routing rules that automatically direct incoming communications to the right team based on topic, school, or form selection. If a message does reach the wrong department, staff can re-route it with a single click and the parent receives an automated update. Administrators have full visibility of all routing in real time.
How long does deployment take?
How long does deployment take?
Technical deployment typically takes 2–4 weeks. Full district go-live including staff training is usually 6–12 weeks depending on district size, readiness and existing Google Workspace setup. Districts migrating from Onflo or Let's Talk! typically go live faster because staff already understand the core workflow. Richland School District Two completed their full intranet and ticketing implementation in just 4 weeks.
