Platform tour

One platform. Every job in the building.

This is the whole list, not a menu of paid add-ons. Every school on k12lms gets every module below, because a platform with missing pieces is just another silo.

Teaching & learning

The classroom, minus the busywork

Gradebook

Weighted categories, drop-lowest, late flags: the math is handled, and grades post to families the moment you're ready.

Standards & mastery

Track mastery against standards alongside (or instead of) points. Students and families see growth, not just averages.

Assignments & submissions

Collect work digitally with safe, virus-scanned uploads. See who's turned in, who's late, and who needs a nudge.

Quizzes & question banks

Build once, reuse forever. Auto-graded question types, shared banks, and clean analytics on every item.

Course pages & content

Lessons, files, and links organized by class. And yes, you can import existing courses via Common Cartridge.

Report cards & progress

Progress reports and report cards generated from the gradebook you already keep, not a second data entry job.

Conferences

Post your availability, let families book their own slots, and watch the sign-up sheet fill itself.

Calendar

School events, due dates, and schedules in one calendar that means the same thing to staff, students, and home.

Graduation plans

Define requirements, track every student's path to the stage, and catch missing credits years early, not in May.

Front office & operations

The paperwork engine of the whole building

Student information system

The living record: demographics, guardians, schedules, history. Entered once, correct everywhere, fully audited.

Attendance & alerts

Fast period or daily attendance with early-warning rules that flag risky patterns before they become truancy letters.

Online enrollment & forms

New-family applications and returning-student packets, e-signed from a phone. Approvals write back to records automatically.

Master scheduling

Sections, rooms, and rosters for the whole year. Every change ripples instantly to teacher and student views.

Discipline

Incidents, actions, and communication in one consistent, private workflow, documented without the drama.

Fees & lunch accounts

Course fees, lunch balances, and waivers in a clean ledger both the office and families can actually read.

Transportation

Routes, stops, and bus assignments, visible to the office and to the parent standing at the corner at 6:45am.

Health office

Visits, medications, and notes for your nurse, in a module only your nurse can see.

Special education

Plans, services, and documentation for your SpEd team, scoped tightly to the people who should see them.

Education plans

Individual graduation and intervention planning for counselors, with progress everyone can follow.

State reporting

The exports your state actually asks for, generated from data you already keep. No spreadsheet heroics in June.

Change history

Every edit to grades, records, and money is logged: who, what, when, and the value before. Auditors love us.

Families & communication

Home and school, actually connected

Parent portal

One login shows every child (grades, attendance, schedule, bus, fees, and forms) with a tap to switch between kids.

Messages

Real conversations between teachers and families, with unread badges that make sure nothing slips through.

District broadcasts

Info, warning, or emergency: tiered announcements that reach every dashboard the moment you hit publish.

Field trips & permissions

Permission slips families sign from a phone in ten seconds. Tracked, timestamped, and never lost in a backpack.

English & Spanish

Families choose their language and the portal follows, because a form you can't read is a form you can't sign.

Conference booking

Families pick their own conference slots online. The sign-up clipboard retires with honor.

Platform & integrations

Plays well with what you already run

Multi-school districts

Every building under one roof with clean separation: district-wide view for leaders, focused view for each school.

OneRoster sync

Nightly roster synchronization with your existing systems, so students, staff, and sections stay in step automatically.

SSO & LTI

Single sign-on for painless logins, and LTI to launch the curriculum tools your teachers already use.

Open API

A documented, token-secured API. Your data is yours, and your integrations shouldn't need our permission slip.

Security by habit

Scanned uploads, scoped roles, audited changes, hardened APIs. Engineering playbooks, not marketing promises.

Quiet automation

Nightly syncs, scheduled alerts, and cleanup jobs run themselves in the background, so no one has to remember to push a button.

Companion apps

More doors into the same house

One platform, one set of data, reached from wherever people already are.

Mobile app

The family & student companion for iOS and Android: grades, attendance, balances, and gentle push notifications that never expose private details.

Public enrollment

A standalone, mobile-first enrollment wizard you can link from your website, a flyer, or a QR code. No login required to apply.

District portal

Central administration for multi-school districts: tenants, provisioning, and district-level oversight in one place.

Developer API

A secured API surface for districts and partners who want to build on top of their own data.

What's next

We publish our direction. Hold us to it.

An all-in-one platform is never “done.” Here's what we're actively building next, shaped by the schools already using k12lms.

Online payments In progress

Pay fees, top up lunch accounts, and cover field trips right from the portal, with no card data ever touching school servers.

Email & weekly digests In progress

Reach 100% of families, app or no app, with notification emails and a friendly Sunday-evening summary of each kid's week.

AI assist Designed

Draft a quiz from your lesson, polish a message home, narrate the week's numbers. Always drafting, never deciding. A human approves everything.

Cafeteria point-of-sale Planned

A big-button lunch line screen that charges accounts in one tap and keeps balances honest.

Substitutes & leave Planned

Leave requests, approvals, and day-of sub access to schedules and attendance, time-boxed and safe.

Library Planned

Simple checkouts with a barcode scanner and automatic overdue reminders. The last corner of the building, covered.
