This is what users are saying:
“A way to check in with the students without face-to-face checking in with them. Helpful when in quarantine, but also when students are uncomfortable with what’s on their mind and find it difficult to share their feelings.”
- 2nd grade teacher, New Jersey
“I love that the data can be disaggregated to school/grade/class and that trends can be tracked over weeks/months/years. The trends will be so helpful with planning activities for the students.”
– US School District
“That this program actively seeks to help both students and teachers is great - and offers a place for us to start as a community. Hopefully, with students and teachers actively engaged in conversations surrounding emotional health and wellness, we will begin to see the benefits snowball throughout the community.”
- US School District
