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.
I like that Edsby has so much to offer (attendance, gradebook, learning story, etc.) The poll feature is neat. I still need to learn more about it, but I am excited to check out the planner.

In using Edsby for the past three and a half years, I've found it an incredibly useful tool for staying organized and being successful. I would highly recommend it to other schools for its features and ease of use.

I really like how teachers are able to record observational and conversational evidence.
Eric OestTeacher, Toronto Prep School
I’m a parent with our son starting JK, and when that notification pops up on my phone that new evidence is posted for him, there are no words. Talk about a game changer!

My Edsby use has increased each year. It's a powerful tool that can assist me as an educator and also help communicate with parents. My students are eager and post often on Edsby.

All schools should have this platform. Helps parents to be informed and keeps kids organized.
