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 is absolutely mission critical and working very well. We’re now 100% online with near 100% attendance this morning, our first day of all-online classes.

The updates you are making are incredible. You must be working around the clock. As our kids and teachers need Edsby to help them be together virtually, you are essential workers in my books.
Jennifer KeenanVice Principal, Algoma District School Board
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.

Dave HecockVice Principal, Crestwood Preparatory College
As soon as I first saw Edsby, I thought ‘this is exactly what we’ve been looking for.’
Steve RushIT Director, St. Andrew's College
We knew we wanted to move away from averaging and point-based grades. Most LMSes only offered the choice of either IB-style grades or traditional American letter grades, percentage scores and averages.
Warren ApelDirector of Technology, The American School in Japan, 1,700 students on Edsby since 2017
Edsby has revolutionized my classroom! I use it to communicate with students and parents. I feel Edsby helps my class become a real community.
