Basic overview
When COVID-19 reached Arizona, new tech solutions were needed to handle emerging challenges. The team behind SchoolTrace jumped into action to swiftly create tools to help school communities track cases, prevent outbreaks, and provide resources to communities left in the dark by disjointed guidance.
We got it done:
- Content marketing
- Brand identity
- Information Architecture
- Website design & development
- App design & development
- Social media marketing
Opportunity
The community-focused firm Cradl saw a need in their local school systems and set to work designing, developing, and building a tool that could help school administrators discover possible exposures without violating important privacy rules. Thus, SchoolTrace was born. Their leadership also knew they'd need to provide resources around emerging and developing CDC guidance on in-school education during the COVID-19 pandemic. They looped us in early to help design and build their tracker tool, website, and supporting collateral.
Solution
We partnered with Cradl to create the SchoolTrace platform, a platform uniquely suited to help schools, locally in Arizona and beyond, track the spread of cases and assess potential exposures. They came to us with an idea, and we worked with them to design and build it.
This was a unique challenge due to the rapidly changing situation. We were glad to be able to assist the founders of SchoolTrace with build, design, and marketing efforts. At the same time, they worked diligently to find out from educators, families, and education advocates how best SchoolTrace could support them in returning students and staff safely to school.
New tools for new challenges
We were able to assist SchoolTrace in designing and launching a website, getting the word out about their services through social media, and building a portal tool that offers easy import or building of class lists, attendance records, and other activity records that allow for automated identification of individuals who may be at risk in the case of a positive test result with preservation of HIPAA compliance.
SchoolTrace became — together with Little Taller — a recipient of an EmergeAZ Fast Grant from invisionAZ and StartupAZ, given in partnership with the Arizona Governor's Office.

Better Guidance for School Administrators
SchoolT race was born from a need to guide school administrators through complicated tasks like tracking possible Covid exposures without violating important privacy rules.
Their leadership also sought to provide resources around emerging and developing CDC guidance on in-school education during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Little Taller partnered with them through early development to help design and build a tracker tool, website with custom portal, and supporting collateral.
Tracking the Spread and Preventing Exposure
Little Taller worked with their team to create the School Trace platform from the ground up. The platform is uniquely suited to help schools, both locally in Arizona and beyond, track the spread of cases and assess potential exposures.
This project presented a unique challenge of a rapidly changing situation. Our team had to be agile and diligent as we worked with their founders to build, design, and implement marketing efforts, including getting the word out on social media.
Feedback from educators, families, and education advocates informed us how to best support them in getting students and staff back to school safely and empower them to succeed in the classroom.
Little Taller assisted School Trace in designing and launching a website with custom functionality. A portal tool was integrated to enable admins and teachers to easily import or build class lists and attendance records. Other features were added to automate the identification of individuals at risk of exposure and track positive test results while complying with HIPAA requirements.
