Synergy SIS is Edupoint’s core student information system for enrollment, student records, scheduling, attendance, gradebook, transcripts, discipline, health, fees, state reporting, and family engagement. It anchors the broader Synergy Education Platform and shares data with optional teaching, assessment, special-services, MTSS, analytics, and registration modules.

Districts use Synergy as the system of record for daily student operations and as a source for downstream applications. The platform’s integrated modules can reduce duplicate entry, but districts should still map ownership, security, interfaces, grade passback, state-reporting corrections, and archival responsibilities.

TalkingPoints is a multilingual family-engagement platform that helps schools communicate with families through translated text messages, mobile apps, announcements, forms, surveys, and two-way conversations. It is designed to reduce language, technology, and access barriers without requiring families to use English or install an application.

Educators and administrators can message individuals, classes, schools, or groups while the platform translates communication between staff and family languages. District tools support roster synchronization, templates, analytics, family engagement measurement, and coordinated outreach around attendance, learning, services, and school events.

TELL is Pearson’s Test of English Language Learning, a tablet-delivered K–12 assessment for screening, diagnosing, and monitoring listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It uses automated scoring, including speech-recognition-supported tasks, and returns reports shortly after administration.

Districts can use TELL as a local language-proficiency measure to inform placement and instruction, but it does not replace California’s required ELPAC assessments. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Tynker is a coding curriculum and creative programming platform for schools. It is intended primarily for elementary through high-school learners developing coding and computational-thinking skills, with students, classroom teachers, computer-science staff, library/media staff, and families using it to support block and text coding, game design, robotics, web development, and computational thinking.

Students progress from block-based coding to languages such as JavaScript or Python through lessons, puzzles, projects, games, and teacher assignments. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

VoiceThread is an asynchronous multimedia discussion and presentation platform. Teachers or students assemble slides, images, documents, and video into a shared “VoiceThread,” then participants respond around individual slides using voice, video, text, drawing, or uploaded media.

The product supports discussion, reflection, language practice, feedback, and presentations when participants cannot meet at the same time. Districts should configure student identity, sharing, moderation, retention, captioning, LMS integration, family access, and age-appropriate publishing so media does not become unintentionally public.

Waterford Early Learning provides personalized early reading, math and science instruction for PreK–2 learners. School implementation includes digital learning activities and educator tools. Desktop and laptop access uses supported browsers; the Waterford Early Learning app is for supported iPad and Android tablets, not phones or desktop computers.

Microsoft Viva Engage, formerly Yammer, is an organization-wide community and employee-engagement platform within Microsoft 365. It supports communities, open conversations, announcements, questions, campaigns, events, leadership communication, knowledge sharing, and personalized activity feeds.

The Yammer brand has been retired, but the underlying product and customer networks continued as Viva Engage. Microsoft 365 identity, compliance, moderation, analytics, Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint connections support governed internal communities.
