Edsby Social-Emotional Check-ins
Whether students are in class, hybrid, or fully remote, social emotional check-ins allows students to share how they are feeling throughout the day. With developmentally appropriate definitions and suggested regulation strategies, this tool gives students what they need to deal with difficult feelings. Teachers can easily see which of their students might need additional support, can track trends over time and are provided with suggestions for starting conversations with students who need it.

This add-on allows schools to set specific days and times to hold conferences and parents can schedule meetings with all of their students' teachers in one process, eliminating back-and-forth emails or long waits on conference night.
