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.

Strong junior & elementary features

Edsby is chock full of things that make it great for younger grades, not just 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 management

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 issues with free software found on the Internet. Silos of potentially insecure applications can run districts afoul of CIPA, COPPA, FERPA, GDPR and other regulations. Edsby consolidates pockets of ad hoc teaching and learning software in a single, centrally managed enterprise-grade application with outstanding permission & access control.

Best-in-class student data handling

Edsby is the opposite of a free, downloadable education app. Edsby is adopted by school districts and states/provinces after rigorous evaluation of, among other things, its data practices. Student data is never monetized. It is stored, secured and managed with the same technology and rigor as the banking and online commerce industries.

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
