Students see their schedules and assignments and interact in a private social media-like system, safe from the public Internet. Parents see kids’ homework and grades. Teachers get course planning, attendance and assessment tools. Administrators receive school-wide analytics. Everyone gets what they need.
Because it connects to existing systems, classes in Edsby are pre-loaded with the right students and parents automatically. Attendance, an advanced grade book, course planning, parent communication and other features become a breeze, with no setup for teachers. And, we’ve specifically made it easy to learn.
Local policies drive regional educational standards. Because every region does things a little differently from the next, Edsby is completely customizable, even to districts’ unique grading and reporting.
Teachers that use free software and public social media can run afoul of CIPA, COPPA, FERPA, GDPR and other regulations. Edsby gives districts a single, protected “walled garden” for all communications between students, teachers and parents, so confidential information stays protected.
Edsby opens communication with students and parents. Students can upload their own work, see teacher feedback and reflect on the feedback.

Great software with great people behind it!
Lynne St. DenisIT Supervisor, Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board
I really like how teachers are able to record observational and conversational evidence.
Eric OestTeacher, Toronto Prep School
I like that you know when your child is missing an assignment or when he or she is failing a class. You can find where the problem is, like if the child is not doing his or her work.
Abigail GarciaParent, Hillsborough County Public Schools
The report card and assessment tracking system is all we could ask for. And the privacy settings and ability to invite and block certain groups is seamless, which is very important for a school.
Mike PackowskiPrincipal, Linbrook School
Edsby is a fantastic tool for educators. Unlike other learning management systems, Edsby is easy to use and does a great job integrating teachers, students and parents into the ecosystem.

I like that it's very similar to Facebook, a medium most people are familiar with. I try to post photos every day.

I love Edsby because it's a gateway into our classroom, and that's what our parents are looking for. I've heard nothing but positive things about this communication tool.
