One student record, shared across admissions, academics, attendance, and billing. Every module below is included — there is no à la carte pricing to negotiate.
Admissions
Track every inquiry from first contact through signed enrollment agreement. Online applications collect the documents you actually need, checklists show what is outstanding, and re-enrollment rolls families forward instead of making you rebuild the list each spring.
Academics
Teachers set up weighted categories once and enter grades all term. Report cards generate from the same data teachers already maintain, so nothing gets retyped into a template the week before they go out.
Daily operations
Take attendance by homeroom or by period, record the reason, and pull the summary the office needs for reporting. Chronic-absence views surface the students worth a phone call before it becomes a problem.
Finance
Tuition plans, fees, and payment schedules tied to the same family record as everything else. Families can also keep money on a prepaid balance that the school draws against for lunch, field trips, and activities — so the office is not collecting envelopes of cash for every event.
Families
One login per family covering every enrolled child. Grades, attendance, invoices, and account balance in one place rather than separate logins from separate vendors. Today the portal is family-facing; separate student logins are on the roadmap.
Setup
Schools do not agree on what a term is, how many periods a day has, or what counts as an A. Rather than making you adopt someone else’s model, North Star lets you define yours — and lets you change it without a support ticket.
Bring a roster export and we will walk through the parts of the system your office touches daily.
