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's gradebook and report writing are big wins. They make paperwork efficient, and for me that means more face-to-face time with students and more time to be creative with lessons.

I love how the Edsby course plan allows me to organize all my files and notes so that students can find anything they're missing.

I’m really impressed with how organized everything is on Edsby. Makes it easy to help my 1st grader with the new online e-learning.

I like the fact I was able to get all my assignments, including work I was missing. And that I was able to view grades class by class.

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.

I love how Edsby makes communication and documentation easier. And I appreciate that Edsby continued to add features to make distance learning more feasible when COVID-19 hit.

Easy access to everything, including absences and messages from and to teachers.
Anna Maria HodaraParent, York Region District School Board, 125,000 students and their parents on Edsby
Edsby is an absolute lifesaver. If one of my kids loses his or her homework and has to print it out, I make 'em hug the laptop and say, "give Edsby a hug, it just saved your grade!" I love Edsby as a parent, educator and former student.
Siobhan HerckertTeacher, Learning Gate Community School
Edsby is giving focus to our teachers, who had been struggling to find other platforms to use for classroom engagement.
