Product update: introducing OnwardSync Port and the School Brain
What we built, what it does today, and why school leaders should be able to trace a suggestion back to the work.
A practical bridge between a signal and a next step
OnwardSync was created around a simple problem: the school day produces information in many places, but a decision needs to move through people. Port brings aggregate daily check-ins, weekly metrics and open operational work into a dated brief. It presents recorded evidence beside each suggestion, so a director can evaluate the next step before approving it.
Today a leader can enter a building-level attendance percentage, staff absences, coverage gaps and a note. Port also reads the weekly matrix and relevant tasks or tickets. It prepares daily or weekly suggestions, but a person decides whether any suggestion becomes actual work. The decision and linked task remain visible in the same workspace.
The School Brain belongs close to the work
A school’s policies and procedures should not disappear into a folder nobody can find. School Brain lets a team upload manuals and handbooks by school, add the links teachers rely on and ask source-grounded questions. Staff can return to the underlying document to verify the answer.
Together, the Port and School Brain connect what the school sees with the information people need to respond. They are different pieces of the same operating rhythm: capture, understand, act and follow through.
Start with a free weekly checkup
The free checkup is an account-free introduction. Enter a few aggregate figures in your browser and get a short, rule-based set of prompts. The entries are not saved. It is a way to test the weekly habit before setting up a full workspace.
We will keep building with the educators and community partners who understand what school days actually demand. Useful feedback is specific: which handoff takes too long, which answer staff cannot find and which task has no clear owner. That is the lane OnwardSync intends to serve.
