The school management platform your staff will actually enjoy using.

What’s built in from day one — not sold as an add-on
Everything a school office runs on
One platform, built in modules
Turn on what your school needs today. Add the rest as you grow — every module shares the same login, the same records, and the same security model.
Attendance & Class Coverage
Daily attendance, absence patterns, and a substitute-friendly coverage workflow for when a teacher is out.
Priority Announcements
Send routine updates or true emergencies with different urgency levels, translated into a family's home language when it helps — and know exactly who received them.
Forms, Signatures & Payments
Drag-and-drop forms with e-signatures, conditional logic, and built-in payment collection — fill out in-app or publish publicly on your own website, with spam & bot protection built in.
Fees, Billing & Online Payments
Invoicing, recurring fees, and online payment collection for tuition, meals, trips, and more — one ledger, not four spreadsheets.
Volunteer Management
Track background-check status, sign-ups, and hours for every parent and community volunteer on campus.
Field Trips & Transportation
Plan trips, collect permissions and payments, and track rosters against bus manifests in one place.
Visitor Management
License-scan check-in, watchlist screening, and printed badges at the front desk — know who's on campus, always.
Emergency Reunification
A structured, auditable release workflow for emergency dismissals — every child, every guardian, every release logged in real time.
Academic Year Archiving
Roll into a new school year without losing the last one — every student's enrollment history preserved, not overwritten every fall.
Faculty & Staff Directory
A searchable staff directory with photos, roles, and departments — kept current automatically as staff change.
Mobile App for Staff & Families
A true native app for iOS and Android — not a bolted-on web view — with Face ID / Touch ID app-lock, so a shared or misplaced phone never means an open school record.
Secure Family & Student Records
A single record per student, visible only to the staff and guardians who are supposed to see it — enforced by role, not convention.
After School Care
Parents request it, Secretary-level staff approve it, and every child is tracked arrived → with caregiver → picked up — with same-day requests flagged for immediate attention and a built-in family message thread that always includes the front office.
Clubs & Activities
Run clubs with the teachers and parents who already have accounts — or bring in an outside coach or community volunteer with a brand-new, Secretary-approved login of their own, scoped to exactly that club and nothing else.
Accessible by Design
Built and tested against WCAG 2.1 AA — full keyboard navigation, screen-reader labeling, and visible focus states throughout, so every family member and staffer can actually use it.
Built for real school days
Not just the demo — the Monday morning rush, too.
Most school software looks great in a sales call and falls apart at 7:45am, when the front office is checking in 400 students, the phone is ringing, and three forms are due by first period.
MyGradewell is designed around that reality: one login for staff and parents across web and mobile, records that don’t contradict each other between modules, and an interface your least technical staff member can use without a training manual.
- One system of record — attendance, forms, and messaging all reference the same student and family data, so nothing goes stale in a second spreadsheet.
- Web and mobile, from one account — office staff on a desktop, teachers and parents on their phones, all seeing the same data in real time.
- Migration that doesn’t derail your year — we work with you to bring over existing rosters and records instead of asking your staff to re-enter everything by hand.
Schools don’t want to relearn a new system every time a vendor changes hands or a contract lapses. So MyGradewell is built module by module, on a plain, stable design — the goal is a system that’s still simple, and still here, five years from now.

Why schools switch
Built for how schools actually work today, not a decade ago
Most school management software was designed for a desktop-only office and sold with a license model to match. Here’s where that shows, and what we did differently.
| Category | Typical legacy school software | MyGradewell |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Typical legacy software Hidden behind a "contact sales" form and a sales call | MyGradewell Published per-student rates, right on this page |
| Mobile experience | Typical legacy software A web page squeezed into a phone screen, added years later | MyGradewell A true native app for iOS and Android, built in from day one |
| Getting your data in | Typical legacy software Months-long migration projects and manual re-entry | MyGradewell Guided rostering import, with a real person helping |
| Support | Typical legacy software A ticket queue and a case number | MyGradewell Founder-led, US-based support that answers |
| Licensing | Typical legacy software One all-or-nothing license, whether you use it all or not | MyGradewell Modular, pay only for the features you actually turn on |
“3 students are trending toward chronic absenteeism this month, up from 1 last month. Two have unexcused-absence patterns concentrated on Fridays — worth a quick check-in before it becomes a compliance issue.”

Insights & family communication
Numbers that tell you something, in the language every family reads
Every chart and narrative below works the moment you turn a module on — no API key, no extra cost, no setup. Connect your own AI provider later if you want a richer written narrative; the free numbers never disappear behind that choice.
- Chronic-absenteeism early warning — students trending toward an attendance problem are flagged automatically, before it becomes a state-reporting issue.
- Plain-English summaries on Forms, Volunteers & Fees — response counts, top choices, and payment status written up automatically, with a one-click deeper narrative when you want it.
- Multilingual announcements — preview and publish any announcement in a family’s home language, so language is never the reason a household misses something important.
Security & compliance
Built with student data privacy at the core
Under FERPA and most state student-data-privacy laws, your school — not your software vendor — is ultimately responsible for how student records are handled. MyGradewell’s job is to give you the technical controls that make meeting that responsibility straightforward, not an afterthought bolted onto a spreadsheet.
Role-based access control
Every account — front office, teacher, nurse, parent — sees only the records their role permits. Access isn't a matter of trust; it's enforced by the system on every request.
Full audit trail
Sensitive actions — who viewed a record, who changed it, who released a student — are logged with a timestamp and an account. If you ever need to answer "who accessed this," the answer already exists.
Two-factor authentication
Staff accounts can require a second factor at login, so a leaked password alone is not enough to reach student data.
Modern, breach-checked passwords
We require a real minimum length and screen every new password against known data breaches — not security-theater rules like forced monthly resets that just push people toward weaker, easier-to-guess passwords.
Automatic inactivity sign-out
Every school sets its own idle timeout. An unattended front-office computer signs itself out — enforced by our servers, not just a browser tab that can be left open.
Encrypted in transit
All traffic between your staff, your families, and MyGradewell is encrypted over HTTPS/TLS — never sent in the clear.
Per-school data isolation
In our multi-tenant deployments, one school's records are logically walled off from another's. Your data is never visible to, or mixed with, a different school's account.
Spam & bot protection
Public forms and website embeds are protected against automated abuse before a submission ever reaches your staff's inbox.
Ongoing internal security review
We run our own internal security reviews against the platform on a regular cadence and treat every finding as a fix, not a future roadmap item.
Accessible by design
Built and tested against WCAG 2.1 AA — keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, and focus management are requirements, not an afterthought.
Least-privilege roles for every helper
An outside club coach or an after-school caregiver gets an account scoped to exactly that job — never a backdoor into the rest of your student data.
Oversight that can't be switched off
Certain family-facing message threads automatically include your front office staff, with no setting to remove them — oversight by design, not by policy memo.
On FERPA, specifically: MyGradewell is architected to support the access controls, audit logging, and data-handling practices schools rely on to meet their FERPA obligations, and we’re glad to sign a data privacy / data-sharing agreement as part of onboarding. FERPA compliance is a shared responsibility between MyGradewell and your school’s own policies — we don’t claim a formal “FERPA certification,” because the law doesn’t issue one to vendors. We’ll answer any question your district’s counsel or IT team has, in plain language.
Pricing
Simple, modular pricing — pay only for what you use
Every school is different. Instead of one all-or-nothing license, MyGradewell is priced by module — a 200-student parish school and a 2,000-student district both pay for exactly what they turned on, nothing more. And unlike most school software, our prices are right here — no “contact sales” maze required.
