Backpack Education

For K–5 districts and schools

Most classroom software costs a teacher a few minutes a day. This costs about eight minutes a week.

A video catalog your district approves once, narrowed by your own staff, watched on a classroom device where no child ever appears as anything but a colored icon. No photos. No ads. No profiling.

Curated, not moderated

A K–5 catalog reviewed before it reaches your building. Your district and schools narrow it; there is no queue of posts waiting on a teacher.

Your roster is the only roster

Clever, ClassLink, or your SIS through OneRoster. Backpack never writes back. Corrections route through your own office.

Built for the compliance review first

Illinois Student Data Privacy Agreement, versioned subprocessor list, retention in days you choose, and a signed certificate when data is deleted.

What we don't do

A teacher's week, itemized

Once, at rollout
Verify your roster. Flag anything wrong; the office fixes it.
When you plan
Build a collection from the approved catalog. Nothing to wait on.
Rarely
Request a video outside the catalog. Your school reviewer decides.
If needed
Report and hide, one tap, instantly, for your section.
Never
A queue to clear. That is the whole design.

Start with one school

Free pilot, real roster, thirty days, no purchase order needed to begin. We'll issue a sandbox district you can play every seat of — district admin, principal, teacher, classroom device, guardian — before anything touches your data.
