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 love the ease of use and knowledge Edsby provides. It tells me grades and what is due and when to keep track of my child.
Tanys SandersParent, Anderdon Public School
Edsby is a great platform for teachers to interact with their students, parents and colleagues. Communication on so many levels between home and school is done with ease.
Carolyn CzuloTeacher, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
Edsby is fantastic! Knowing what my child is doing in class makes for actual conversations around the dinner table. Before I would just get, 'school was good, mom.'
Terri DevineParent, Algoma District School Board
It’s a really valuable tool.

Accessing attendance electronically and creating planned absences via Edsby has allowed me to be more efficient in my day to day.

Laina AndrewsPrincipal, Cobourg Collegiate Institute East
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.
Sean FraserTeacher, Greater Essex County District School Board, 35,000 students and 4,500 staff on Edsby
Edsby has been invaluable during our province’s 'Learn At Home' initiative. We're extremely pleased to have this virtual learning environment as we cover a vast geography. We can’t imagine where we’d be without Edsby right now.
Lucia ReeceDirector of Education, Algoma District School Board
I love that it gives students tools to stay caught up on school work, even at home. I also like how easy it is to do attendance and make changes as students come in late to class.
Nicholas StrainTeacher, Light of Christ Catholic Schools
Edsby does all I really need to do and more.
