The problem: Many districts are still on paper

  • Lost & Incomplete Forms
  • Manual Reconciliation
  • Compliance Risks
  • Fragmented Systems

Nine out of 10 school districts still rely on paper for parent and student-facing forms. SignWave automates the most complex K-12 workflows, even those requiring audited parent or student sign-off. It's a powerful and scalable system that leverages existing district databases to make complex forms simple.

Edsby SignWave signature

Unlike standalone form builders, SignWave leverages the data and security your district already has in Edsby

Responsibility Framework

Responsibility Framework

SignWave already knows the “social graph”—who is responsible for which student—meaning it inherits permissions and contacts automatically.

SIS Integration

SIS Integration

Because student records, class rosters, and parent contacts are already connected, there’s no duplicate data entry or manual setup required.

Institutional Security

Institutional Security

Role-based access and data governance are built into the platform, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Complex workflows like field trips

SignWave is the only product that delivers the complete lifecycle of a complex school activity like a field trip—from the first teacher proposal through principal approval, parent permission and real-time student check-in management to and from the destination.
