EDSBY FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS

More than just parent communication. More than a gradebook. More than an LMS. Edsby is the most comprehensive single digital environment for all things K‑12.

Edsby keeps everyone in the loop & engaged

Students see their schedules and assignments. They interact in a familiar, private social media-like system, safe from the public Internet. Parents see their kids’ homework and grades. Teachers get course planning, attendance and assessment tools. Administrators can access district-wide analytics and find students at risk. Everyone gets what they need in real time, in one app.

Built for every grade, K-through-12

Edsby is purpose-built for younger grades as well as senior ones, including learning evidence capture and reporting, subjective performance indicators, portfolios of best work, input from and connections with everyone involved in a student’s education and more.

Outstanding parent engagement

Parents are critical to a child’s education in K-12. Only Edsby has such well-designed support for them. Parents get realtime insight into what’s happening in all classes from a single app—no navigating separate apps for different teachers or classes. Edsby also handles field trip and other approvals, parent-teacher conference scheduling and more.

Features for the future of K‑12

Give your teachers the ability to use new methodologies like rubrics & other emerging assessment schemes. Assess to standards. Capture observations and other learning evidence. Edsby is where K‑12 is going.

K‑12, and only K‑12

Built for the unique needs of K‑12 school districts

Reduces liability of teachers "going rogue"

Well-intentioned teachers often introduce privacy and security risks by adopting free or consumer-grade software outside district control. Edsby eliminates that exposure. As a centrally managed, enterprise-grade platform with outstanding permission & access control sold exclusively to K‑12 organizations, Edsby gives districts full visibility and control over student data handling. Edsby is one of the original signatories of the Student Data Privacy Consortium’s National Data Protection Agreement — widely recognized in K‑12 procurement as a comprehensive framework addressing the student privacy obligations that federal law and state-level legislation impose on edtech vendors.

Best-in-class student data handling

Edsby is adopted by districts, states and provinces worldwide after rigorous evaluation of its data practices — including review against FERPA, COPPA and CIPA in the United States; PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation in Canada; GDPR in Europe; and equivalent frameworks in other jurisdictions. Edsby is ISO 27001 certified. Student data is never monetized, and Edsby is never sold to universities, businesses or any organization outside K‑12.

Customizable, because no two districts do things the same

Districts all have different ways of doing assessments, calculating and sharing grades, choosing what to share with parents and more. So unlike fixed systems that impose their structures, Edsby gives districts freedom to work exactly how they’re used to.

• Use local assessment schemes
• Apply local, state or federal standards, expectations or outcomes
• Customize with local terms
• Support for custom reports
• Custom forms, workflows and apps
• Use your district’s existing report card
• Customizations preserved when system is updated

Consistency across every classroom, every school
