BALANCEBOARD FOR SCHOOLS
A student wellness and academic planning tool with a counselor dashboard. Helps your students stay organized and gives your counseling team early visibility into stress trends — before students are already in crisis.
What the counselor dashboard shows
Counselors with access can view aggregate, anonymized wellness trends across student groups — not individual records. This gives your team a population-level view of how students are doing: average stress patterns, week-to-week trends, periods of elevated concern.
Think of it as an early-warning layer. Instead of finding out students were struggling weeks after the fact, counselors can see aggregate signals when stress is rising school-wide and proactively reach out.
How it works for students
Homework tracking
Syncs with Google Classroom automatically — students see every assignment and due date without manual entry.

A 10-second daily check-in on stress, mood, and sleep. Students opt in voluntarily.
Study planning
Students plan study sessions and see their week at a glance across all classes.
