CareDox is a New York company founded in 2014 that offers a free digital health record tracking system for students in K-12 schools. Their mission is “to provide a unified health record and to enable school health programs to run more efficiently and safely.” The service itself is free to public schools due to the fact that CareDox is completely subsidized by pediatric partners who have agreed to fully underwrite the cost of each school’s installation, SIS integration and configuration, and on-going training and support.

Eight years under the CareDox umbrella led to many observations about the infrastructure serving pediatric health. Our most valuable learning is that the K-12 public school system in our country presents the ideal foundation to support our mission. We have updated and focused our business model, product offering, team, and culture to help the K-12 public school system coordinate convenient, quality healthcare services for our children.

SchoolCare connects these two key elements in childrens’ health – school-based healthcare and state-funded clinical programs – where goals and incentives are aligned but coordination is lacking.

The California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) is an annual data collection administered in October. CBEDS data are reported through an Online Reporting Application called CBEDS-ORA. The purpose of CBEDS is to collect data about schools and districts, as well as some aggregate data on students and staff. There are two separate forms used to collect these data. The County/District Information Form (CDIF) is used to collect data specific to districts and county offices on the number of classified staff and estimated number of teacher hires. The School Information Form (SIF) is used to collect data specific to schools on the number of classified staff, kindergarten program type, educational calendars, parental exception waivers, truancy, and School Improvement Grant information. Student aggregate counts (i.e., graduates, dropouts, and various enrollment data) previously collected on the SIF and certificated staff, course and assignment data previously collected on the Professional Assignment Information Form (PAIF) have been transitioned to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS). 

Developers want a modern, open, standards-based canvas for creating the next wave of game-changing apps. But all too frequently, the data needed to drive these innovations are cloistered away, locked up in legacy silos with proprietary API’s, hamstrung by batch CSV exports, or — at best — exposed by an alphabet soup of “standards” of all different makes and models.

OpenAI's GPT-3.5 is an iteration of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer models, designed to improve upon its predecessor, GPT-3, in both performance and efficiency. This AI model is part of OpenAI's suite of language understanding models that use deep learning techniques to generate human-like text based on the input they receive. GPT-3.5 is trained on a diverse range of internet text and fine-tuned with human feedback to enhance its ability in a variety of tasks including conversation, text completion, and content generation. This version boasts better understanding and generating capabilities, particularly in handling nuanced and complex queries.

In addition to its enhanced language abilities, GPT-3.5 integrates several OpenAI tools designed to expand its application scope. These tools include capabilities like image generation, browser emulation for real-time data fetching, and Python code execution environments. Such features allow GPT-3.5 to operate not just as a text generator but as a versatile AI assistant capable of performing tasks that range from creating detailed images based on textual descriptions to executing Python scripts for data analysis. This makes GPT-3.5 a more dynamic tool for developers, researchers, and creatives, providing them with powerful ways to harness artificial intelligence for diverse applications.

ClassDojo is a communication platform that helps teachers encourage students in class and engage parents. In the classroom, teachers use ClassDojo to give students encouragement (or “feedback points”) for showing critical skills or strengths - ones like persistence, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. They use the ClassDojo App or the ClassDojo Website - if multiple devices are used, they will all sync with each other. Beyond the classroom, teachers use ClassDojo to engage families. Teachers can instantly message parents with text-based messages, pictures, videos, and stickers, and also add posts to Class Story and School Story - a private feed of moments from the classroom and school that only parents, “verified teachers,” and school leaders can see. Teachers can also let parents see how their children are doing at school by sharing their student profiles with parents to highlight the feedback points they’ve earned.
