ZANUS FRONT OFFICE FOR K-12 SCHOOLS
Next-generation AI for K-12 Schools. Try it free on your own school. No credit card.
Every parent call answered. Every family enrolled. Your school office, finally off the phone. ZANUS AI Front Office for K-12 Schools is the AI receptionist, enrollment desk and follow-up desk for public districts, private and independent schools and charter schools. It answers parents on phone, website chat, email and web forms — the 7:30 AM absence line, which school an address is zoned for, what to bring to register, the bus stop, the snow-day question, tuition and extended-day fees — in the family’s language, books the tour, the registration appointment or the parent–teacher conference, chases the registration missing a document, and files the bus change or the records request to the right office. Anything about a named student goes to a person. Grounded only in the information your school approves: no source, no claim.

What happens to every inquiry — in your school
A call to the attendance line at 7:25 AM, a chat from a family moving into the district at 10 PM, an enrollment form, an email about the bus stop — a parent, a grandparent, a student, a feeder preschool. Any hour, in any of 40 languages.
Which school the address is zoned for, what to bring to register, the calendar, closures and delays as published, bus routes and stops, tuition and extended-day fees, the admissions steps — from your approved information only. No source, no claim.
New or current family, which school, which grade, which office — attendance, registrar, transportation, business office, counselor, principal — your routing rules applied in the conversation. Anything about a named student goes to a person.
Take the absence for the attendance clerk, book the tour, the registration appointment or the conference, send the enrollment checklist, file the bus change to transportation, transfer to the counselor with the context whispered in.
The conference reminder, the registration still missing the proof of residency, the family that toured and went silent, the re-enrollment deadline, the welcome sequence for the newly enrolled family — on schedule, until done.
Every touch on the household’s front-office record. Every morning a briefing for the principal, the enrollment director and the office manager: what was handled overnight, which families need a person today.
AI-driven end to end. A person wherever your rules require it. Anything about a named student’s grades, attendance, discipline, health or IEP, any custody or pickup change, any emergency and anything outside your approved information waits for your staff; the routine, the AI handles and reports.
One knowledge base feeds every channel
Websites, uploads, pages and articles, Q&A, battle cards, images and videos — you approve it once, and phone, chat, email, demos and quotes all answer from the same verified source. No source, no claim.
40 languages, one bill, a help drawer over every screen
Languages and website translation, billing with plans, top-ups and alerts, onboarding, users & security, and the help drawer that answers from the platform manual — the plumbing that comes with it.
Private by architecture
Your Front Office runs in a private Cloudflare environment dedicated to your company — your own data-processing container, not a shared pool. Your knowledge stays yours: it never trains global models like GPT or Grok, and it is never shared.
- Private data-processing environment per company
- Grounded only in your knowledge
- Claim guard: no source, no claim
- Private environment option: an isolated environment with enterprise-grade security certifications, on request
Auto-Call — the AI calls your families
Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail. Call window, attempts, voicemail policy and consent rules are yours; every call is transcribed.
- “Hi Mr. and Mrs. Gomez, this is Oakridge Elementary: school is closed tomorrow due to weather; remote learning packets are in the parent portal.”
- “Hi Ms. Turner, this is Oakridge Elementary calling to schedule Ava’s parent-teacher conference. Would Tuesday at 4 or Thursday at 5:30 work?”
Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing; calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone. How it works, in the Phone chapter ›
The same Front Office, by job
The jobs a school names most often — each explained in full: what falls through the cracks today, a day with the AI on the job, every function seen from that job.
Questions, answered
Does the AI discuss a student’s grades, attendance, IEP or welfare?
No. It answers only from the information your school approves — calendar, zoning and registration steps, required documents, published admissions criteria, fees, transport, policies. A question about a named student, a custody or pickup change, a worried parent or any safeguarding concern is transferred to the person you name, with the transcript attached, or taken as a message for them. The AI makes no eligibility, assignment, lottery, meal-benefit or aid decision, and reads your emergency instructions word for word before transferring at once.
What happens to family and student information?
Your Front Office runs on a private data-processing environment dedicated to your district or school; your information never trains public models and is never shared. It works on the front-office record — contacts, conversations, bookings, requests — not on the student record, which stays in your student information system. Districts whose policy requires an isolated environment with specific certifications ask for a private environment — available on request.
Does it replace our student information system or enrollment system?
No. It sits in front of them: the AI answers, books and follows up, then writes bookings, contacts and requests back through Connectors — native calendar sync, webhooks and API. Attendance, grades and the official enrollment stay in your systems of record; the difference is that nobody has to type the parent’s call into them.
Try it free on your own school. 7 days. No credit card.
Give it your website. It learns your company. Then call it, chat with it, e-mail it — and decide. Nothing to install, nothing to cancel.
