Aeries SIS is a California-focused student information system that manages enrollment, demographics, attendance, scheduling, courses, grades, transcripts, discipline, health information, programs, and state reporting. It serves as the operational student record used by district offices, schools, teachers, students, and families.

California districts use Aeries to support daily school operations and CALPADS reporting while exchanging rosters and records with learning, assessment, communication, nutrition, identity, and other systems. Districts should document which Aeries modules, portals, APIs, and third-party integrations are authoritative for each data domain.

Aeries Analytics is the reporting, dashboard, and early-warning component built into the Aeries student information system. It turns current SIS information—including attendance, grades, discipline, assessments, program participation, interventions, graduation progress, and California college-and-career indicators—into configurable charts, student groups, and watchlists.

Because the analytics operate directly on Aeries data, districts do not need to build a separate warehouse or routine export for the supported indicators. Teachers and administrators can move from a district or school dashboard to the individual students behind a result, then create groups or record interventions using the same operational student record.

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.

aimswebPlus is Pearson’s benchmark screening and progress-monitoring system for reading and mathematics in grades K–12. It combines brief curriculum-based measures, standards-based assessments, norms, benchmarks, risk indicators, and reporting within an online platform.

Districts use aimswebPlus for universal screening, MTSS identification, frequent monitoring of intervention, and evaluation of student growth. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

AirServer is a screen-mirroring receiver that turns a supported Windows PC, Mac, Xbox, or dedicated appliance into a destination for AirPlay, Google Cast, Miracast, and related presentation protocols. Teachers and students can show device screens on a classroom display without installing a separate receiver for each ecosystem.

The product solves cross-platform presentation and demonstration needs but is not a learning-management or video-hosting service. Districts should test protocol support on managed devices, isolate guest and instructional networks appropriately, control who may connect, and document audio, resolution, licensing, updates, privacy, and classroom-support procedures.

Airtame is a wireless screen-sharing, digital-signage, and hybrid-meeting platform built around network-connected display devices. Teachers and staff can present from supported computers or mobile devices without passing cables, while technology teams can manage screens and publish room or district information centrally.

In schools, Airtame can support classroom presentation, conference rooms, dashboards, emergency or routine signage, and selected video-meeting workflows. Districts should validate network segmentation, multicast or discovery behavior, guest access, device management, identity settings, accessibility, content approval, and compatibility with existing displays and conferencing systems.

ALEKS is McGraw Hill’s adaptive mathematics and chemistry courseware system. It is intended primarily for upper-elementary through postsecondary learners, depending on the licensed course, with students, math or chemistry teachers, interventionists, dual-enrollment staff, and administrators using it to support knowledge-space assessment, individualized learning, practice, and course mastery.

ALEKS assesses topic knowledge, builds an individualized learning path, assigns practice and assessment, and reports progress across course objectives. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Alexandria Library Automation is a school-focused library management system from COMPanion Corporation. It organizes catalog and copy records, patron accounts, circulation, holds, fines, inventory, reports, and public discovery while supporting centralized catalogs across multiple schools.

The system is designed for day-to-day librarian workflows and can share patron and administrative information with the company’s Textbook Tracker product. Districts should distinguish Alexandria’s library collection functions from the separate textbook and asset module when cataloging their implementation.

Alma is a cloud-based SIS and learning-management environment for K–12 schools. It combines student records, enrollment, scheduling, attendance, gradebook, standards-based grading, transcripts, communication, portals, reporting, and instructional workflows in one platform.

Schools use Alma to run core student administration while giving educators and families a unified view of academic information. Districts should evaluate its fit for California state reporting, complex district scheduling, specialized-program data, integrations, and scale rather than assuming that features used by individual schools cover every LEA requirement.

Amira Learning is an AI-supported reading tutor and assessment platform. It is designed primarily for early and upper-elementary readers, especially students needing oral-reading practice and rapid feedback, with students, classroom teachers, reading specialists, interventionists, and administrators using it to support oral-reading fluency, decoding, comprehension, screening, practice, and progress monitoring.

Students read aloud to the system and receive prompts or practice while educators use assessment and session data to identify patterns and plan human instruction. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Amplify Curriculum is a portfolio of core and supplemental curriculum programs rather than one product. It is designed primarily for elementary and middle-school students, depending on the licensed ELA, science, math, or intervention program, with classroom teachers, curriculum leaders, interventionists, and students using it to support knowledge-building literacy, science inquiry, mathematics, and foundational skills.

Teachers deliver sequenced units with print and digital materials, embedded assessment, discussion, writing, investigation, and differentiated supports. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Amplify Desmos Math is Amplify’s mathematics curriculum portfolio, increasingly branded around Amplify Desmos Math. It is intended primarily for elementary through high-school mathematics students, depending on the licensed Amplify program, with math teachers, students, coaches, interventionists, and curriculum leaders using it to support mathematical reasoning, discourse, representations, problem solving, fluency, and responsive teaching.

Teachers facilitate problem-based lessons and use interactive digital environments, student thinking, practice, and assessment to guide discussion and differentiation. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Amplify mCLASS is an early-literacy assessment and instructional system built around teacher-administered measures, digital scoring, benchmark and progress-monitoring workflows, and reports for foundational reading skills. Available configurations may include DIBELS 8th Edition and additional diagnostics or instructional resources.

Schools use mCLASS to screen students, identify skill needs, form groups, monitor intervention, and connect assessment findings with foundational-skills instruction. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Apex Learning is a secondary digital-courseware product now within Edmentum. It is designed primarily for middle- and high-school students needing initial credit, credit recovery, remediation, or alternative pathways, with students, credentialed teachers, counselors, and virtual-program administrators using it to support standards-based online courses, tutorials, intervention, and graduation progress.

Students complete online lessons, assignments, practice, and assessments while local educators provide instruction, monitor pacing, and determine credit. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.
