Every feature replaces a piece of the paper folder
Not a generic SEL platform. The Stars Supporting Stars (S3) program, made digital — every screen uses the words your school counselors already use.
Two minutes, then back to class
A mentor walks the tablet to the mentee's classroom, picks their tile, picks Present or Absent, picks a Zone (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red), answers two quick Yes/No questions about the relationship (does the mentee know your name, did they ask what Zone you are in), and submits. If they want, they can leave a coping note or a flag for the school counselor. The whole check-in takes about two minutes.
After submit, the tablet locks. There is no path back to anyone else's check-in. When the mentor returns the tablet to the counselor's office, a small reset link in the corner brings the next mentor's picker up.
- Mentor tile content is up to the school: first name + last initial, student ID only, or both.
- Optional school logo replaces the default mark on the picker header.
- A substitute can check in for an absent mentor by choosing their own name on that mentor's tile.
- Screens in 40 languages, picked per check-in, with read-aloud prompts and voice dictation where the tablet's browser supports it; each mentee's preferred language on the roster tells the mentor which to choose.
- Student last names are never shown on the public flow. In Student ID mode, names never leave the server at all.
- No tablet or Wi-Fi? Print paper check-in sheets, then enter them with Manual Check-In — including who substituted.
- Printable QR poster and mentor ID cards from Tablet Setup, so every mentor knows where their mentee is.
See the day fill in, minute by minute
As mentors submit check-ins, the dashboard fills in within a minute. Round so far shows the whole round at a glance, Days in the round shows any single day, and Trends across rounds compares them. Click any number to see the pairings behind it. Boxes turn amber and red against thresholds you set. A school counselor walking in at the end of the day knows where to look first. No paper review required.
- Each day's check-ins, flags, absences, and remaining pairs in one view
- Zones mix with percentages, mentee-relationship questions, reasons for participation, and demographics
- Round trends, side-by-side comparison, and a school-year filter
- "All Rounds" table for a quick read of every round at a glance
- One-click Round Report — attendance, zones, and per-day breakdown with no student names, to print or save as a PDF for a principal or parent, plus a data download for Excel
- Per-school color thresholds you can tune
FERPA-aware by design
Privacy isn't a feature we bolted on. Each school's data is kept separate at every step. Names on the tablet are minimized to first name + last initial by default, so a misplaced device exposes the least identifying info. An audit log tracks changes for roster, rounds, and accounts so a district vendor review has clear answers when it asks.
- School-level data separation
- Minimal name display on the mentor tablet (first name + last initial, or student ID only)
- Two-year audit log for roster, rounds, and account changes, naming students by Student ID only
- HTTPS everywhere, secure password storage, role-based access
- Current password required to change your sign-in details or edit a finished round
- Locked-down database, a strict content security policy, and sign-in limits per account
- Audited against WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
- Forced password reset on first sign-in for newly-approved accounts
Every school's data stays separate
Every school account belongs to exactly one school. Counselors and school staff only ever see their own rosters, rounds, and check-ins, and the school is resolved on the server from the signed-in account rather than from anything the browser sends. Each school carries its own settings on top of that, so a district can run very different schools side by side.
- Per-school configuration for timezone, student ID format, and dashboard thresholds
- A separate check-in link and printable QR poster for each school — or for each round when several run at once
- Activity log scoped to the school, so a review only ever surfaces that school's records
The program's vocabulary, in every screen
Rounds. Mentor pairs. Zones. The counselor flag 🚩. The app uses the same words your school counselors already do. School counselors create rounds of any length, assign mentor/mentee pairings (with guardrails like no male mentor with female mentee), and check-ins accumulate automatically until the round ends.
- Rounds with start and end dates, auto-counted school days, and exclusion dates for snow, teacher in-service, or single-day holidays
- Run several rounds at once, each with its own tablet link; a student is in only one round at a time
- Pairing rules enforced every time — including when a substitute checks in
- Pairs with no shared language are flagged while you're pairing
- The counselor flag 🚩 highlights mentees needing school counselor follow-up
- Zones of Regulation framework (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red) baked in
- Soft-deleted rounds kept for 60 days before permanent purge
