Business solutions are a poor fit in K-12. They cost too much, are too hard to support and aren’t built for educational scale. Or they don’t come with the powerful parent support and access control critical in K-12.
Systems originally built for higher education have the same problems. Consumer solutions like Facebook prompt privacy concerns. Home made technology is high risk and rarely state-of-the-art. And “free” solutions can be problematic and cost in unexpected ways.
Edsby was built specifically for K-12 and its unique challenges and requirements. It knows about K-12-specfic standards and reporting, bell schedules and more.
Edsby knows that parents are critical to a child’s education and has well-designed support for them. Teachers don’t have to manage parent information in Edsby because parent information comes from district databases.
Parents get realtime views into what’s happening in class, from a single app with a single sign-on no matter how many children they have in the district. Edsby handles field trip and other approvals, parent-teacher conference scheduling and more.
Edsby is chock full of things that make it great for junior grades, not just senior ones.
