ActivityHero helps districts manage expanded-learning enrollment, rosters, attendance, communications, and reporting in one platform. Families can enroll students in programs across sites, while staff can maintain current rosters and record attendance from desktop or mobile devices.

Role-based access can include district employees and outside providers without giving every user a full SIS account. Reporting supports program oversight and funding requirements such as ELO-P, ASES, and 21st CCLC; districts should still validate local CALPADS, fiscal, attendance, privacy, and audit procedures.

Aeries Communications is the family communication capability within the Aeries platform, giving districts tools to send announcements and student-related information to parents, students, and staff using contact and enrollment data already maintained in Aeries.

Depending on the district's Aeries configuration and licensed communication services, families can receive portal, email, text, voice, app, or translated messages and participate in school-to-home communication. Its main advantage is keeping recipients, relationships, grades, attendance, and other student context connected to the SIS.

Aeries Enroll Path gives districts a configurable, mobile-first process for new-student enrollment. Families complete guided forms, upload documents, provide signatures, and submit information from a phone, tablet, or computer in supported languages.

Registration staff can monitor applications in real time, return submissions for correction, use role-based access and audit history, and resolve records into Aeries SIS. Districts should document identity matching, duplicate handling, residency review, language access, accessibility, and records-retention procedures.

Not to be confused with Aeries Online Enrollment. Both support enrollment into Aeries SIS, but are distinct offerings; a reference to one should not be treated as confirmation that the district uses the other.

Aeries Online Enrollment is the family-facing registration module for collecting new-student information before records are added to Aeries SIS. Parents or guardians enter household, contact, residency, language, health, emergency, and other district-required information and upload documents through a configurable online process.

District staff review submissions, resolve missing or duplicate information, and transfer accepted records into Aeries rather than retyping paper packets. Districts should distinguish new-student enrollment from annual data confirmation, returning-student updates, school choice, and placement workflows that may use other Aeries functions.

Not to be confused with Aeries Enroll Path, another Aeries enrollment offering with its own configuration and workflows. Annual returning-student data confirmation is also a separate process. Districts should identify the specific enrollment offering they use.

Aeries Payments connects payment and fundraising activity with the Aeries student information environment. It supports fees, fines, tuition programs, online stores, and district-approved crowdfunding while giving families a direct online payment path.

Administrators can track transactions, past-due amounts, student financial activity, donors, and campaign performance. Districts should define approval, reconciliation, refund, waiver, records-retention, and non-card payment procedures before implementation.

Bark for Schools+ adds school-to-family safety workflows to Bark’s monitoring of school-issued accounts. Its Parent Portal can share student-safety alerts with families under settings selected by the school. The Clever connection imports data for Parent Portal invitations. Confirm the contracted tier, monitored services, alert recipients and escalation arrangements.

It is intended primarily for elementary and middle-grade independent readers, with students, teachers, librarians, and families using it to support book discovery, reading logs, reviews, recommendations, and reading motivation.

BookFlix is Scholastic’s digital paired-fiction-and-nonfiction literacy resource. It is intended primarily for early-childhood and primary-grade readers, with students, teachers, librarians, multilingual-learner staff, and families using it to support early literacy, informational reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and book engagement.

Children watch or read paired books and use related games, vocabulary, author information, and comprehension activities. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Boonli is an online ordering and payment platform for school lunches, meal programs, events, and other school offerings. Families select items and submit orders while administrators manage menus, ordering windows, counts, payments, reporting, and fulfillment information.

The product is useful for preordered meal programs and vendor-coordinated service rather than traditional cafeteria point-of-sale and federal nutrition administration. It may fit better under Meal Ordering / Program Management while remaining cross-listed with Food Services.

Brainingcamp is a virtual mathematics-manipulatives and lesson platform. It is intended primarily for K–12 mathematics learners using virtual manipulatives, with students, math teachers, interventionists, special educators, and families using it to support mathematical representation, number sense, fractions, algebra, geometry, and problem solving.

Learners use digital number lines, base-ten blocks, fraction tools, algebra tiles, graphs, and other models during instruction or independent work. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

It is intended primarily for K–12 learners and educators using age-adjusted reference content, with students, teachers, librarians, multilingual-learner staff, and families using it to support research, background knowledge, informational literacy, media literacy, and cross-curricular inquiry.

Users search vetted articles, images, video, primary sources, biographies, and learning resources at different reading levels and languages. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
