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.
We’re able to record photographs and conversations in real time as they’re happening. Edsby's evidence features really make things easy.

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've been using Edsby for three years now and find it far better than Edline or BlackBoard.

On the surface, Edsby looks like a social media Facebook-like platform, but there’s a lot under the hood when you open it up.

Edsby is an educator's dream tool for the classroom.

We love that Edsby can be used via app or browser 24/7, 365. We also love its group collaboration and integration with Microsoft 365.
John HowittSuperintendent of Education and Information Technology, Greater Essex County District School Board
Edsby is so rich. Parents have the portal as well and see which assignments their children have done, which ones they haven’t done, and directly interact with staff, administration and guidance counsellors as well.
Mark PhaneufPrincipal, Prince Albert Catholic School Division
We use Edsby for classes, clubs, teams, PLCs and other groups. The whole school loves it. We recommend Edsby without hesitation.
