A few of the most widely used platforms:

Seesaw - ELC and ES's Current Learning Journal

Google Sites - Static Information Hub for Parents in the ELC and ES

EC2 to G5 classes have dedicated Google Sites where general information is posted for the external community. This is a rather static hub, since announcements and other reminders are sent via Seesaw.
