Class Phase

For K–12 teachers

Your whole classroom,
in order.

One place for everything you keep about your students — grades, attendance, behavior, families, support plans and the paperwork that goes with them. It lives on your computer, and it belongs to you.

Four things it gives you back

The whole
picture.

One page per child, with everything on it — academics, behavior, notes, family, support, files.

When a parent calls, when a meeting comes up, when a new teacher takes over mid-year, the answer to “what do we know about this kid” is one click, not an archaeology project.

Where your records live

On your computer.
Nowhere else.

There's no account to make, no server to sign in to, and nothing that gets uploaded. Your class is a single encrypted database on your own machine, and backups go to a folder you choose.

How your records are kept

It lives on your computer, and it belongs to you.

The classroom binder
that keeps itself.

You already keep all of this. It's just spread across a binder, three spreadsheets, a drawer, and your memory.

Class Phase puts it in one place, organized around the child rather than the task. Your roster is the hub. A score you enter in the gradebook is already on that student's page. The health flag you set in September is on every screen that mentions her. The note you made about a phone call in October is right there when her mother calls again in March.

Nothing gets filed twice, and nothing falls between two systems — because there's only one.

Four things it gives you back

Your time

Attendance in the time it takes to look up. A set of scores in a minute, by keyboard. A class roster pasted in from the office in one go. Report cards, name tags and certificates for the whole class at once. Setup on a Sunday afternoon, then it gets out of the way.

Four things it gives you back

Your records, actually yours

No account, no cloud, nothing uploaded anywhere. Your class lives in an encrypted database on your own computer. There's no company holding your students' information and no administrator console where anyone else can look at your class. It works exactly the same on a plane.

A sub folder in minutes

When you're sick at 6am, the pages a substitute needs — schedule, class list with the flags they must know, safety page, procedures, emergency sheet for the office — are built from what you've already recorded, current as of today.

What it does

Everything in its place.

See everything it does

It talks to you
like an adult.

Most software tells you what it did. Class Phase tells you what it's about to do, what that will cost, and what it isn't sure of.

Remove a student and it lists what's on her record and how many class averages will move — and asks you why. Delete an attached file and it checks the file actually left the disk before it tells you it's gone. Cancel a print and it says so, rather than leaving you wondering.

And when you save your recovery card, it tells you the thing almost no program will admit:

A PDF still on this computer is not a card. It goes down with the laptop it is meant to rescue — put it on a USB stick, print it, or move it somewhere that is not this machine. Class Phase can write the file; it cannot carry it out of the room.

Who it's for

Kindergarten through twelfth grade, one class or several. The grade setting adjusts the marking scale and the defaults — marks for the youngest, numbers further up — so a first-grade teacher and a twelfth-grade teacher are using the same program in the way each of them needs.

It's for the teacher who keeps good records and is tired of keeping them in six places.

It's free.

No account, no trial, no tiers, nothing to cancel. Download it, use it for a term, and if it isn't for you, delete it — nothing of yours goes anywhere either way.
