Families share how their child is doing today. Teachers walk in knowing, keep notes and support plans in one place, and families see the progress. Principals see which teacher needs support, and district leaders see every school.
A quick note on how their child is today: a rough night, a big win, a change at home. The teacher knows before the bell.
Daily notes, parent updates, and 504, IEP, and BIP notes in one place, so progress toward each student's goals is easy to track.
How the day went and how their child is progressing toward their goals. No surprises at conference time.
A short morning brief: which teacher needs support today, and one clear Suggestion. Teachers check in on their own week, too.
Every school at a glance, so support goes where it's needed first. Principals check in as well, all the way to the top.
Students never use the app. They get the result: a teacher who feels supported, a home and classroom that talk to each other, and support plans followed as written.
These features are being shaped with our founding pilot schools. Nothing here is live yet.
The relationship between a teacher and their students is one of the most consistently powerful school-based factors in achievement. A synthesis of roughly 230 studies and 350,000+ students ranked it among the top influences on learning, out of 138 factors studied (Hattie, Visible Learning). A separate meta-analysis of nearly 250,000 students across preschool through high school found affective teacher-student relationships shape both engagement and achievement at every grade level (Roorda et al., 2011; 2017). That relationship depends on a teacher who is present and supported, not counting down to their next job.
Family involvement (communication with school, expectations at home, day-to-day engagement) is independently linked to higher achievement, better attendance, and lower dropout rates, across multiple large meta-analyses spanning elementary through secondary school (Jeynes, 2005; 2007; Henderson & Mapp, 2002). Rivvol is designed to be that daily line between home and classroom, in one place instead of scattered across calls, emails, and folders.
You see your own child's notes and progress, and no one else's.
Student notes are never used to rate you, and no teacher is ever shown a risk score about themselves. Rivvol doesn't read email, chat, or keystrokes.
Records are shared only with that student's family and the educators who serve them. Students never use the app.
Set up the way districts already work: district leaders, then principals, then teachers. School data is kept separate from workforce data, and every pilot starts with your district's student data privacy agreement.
One of Rivvol's co-founders is a licensed special education teacher who still teaches today. Special education is a designated shortage area in 45+ states, and losing one teacher can cost a district $12,000 to $25,000 to replace (Learning Policy Institute). Nationally, it's the same pattern every workplace sees: an unsustainable caseload nobody adjusted, a hard month nobody noticed, and school leaders who care but have no simple way to see who needs support today.
Students feel it first. When a teacher leaves mid-year, they get a rotating cast of substitutes, lost continuity, and for students with disabilities, an interruption in the services their IEP requires. Turnover lowers achievement even for students whose own teacher stayed (Ronfeldt, Loeb & Wyckoff, 2013), and special education vacancies are now reported in nearly half of U.S. public schools, often filled by long-term substitutes instead of certified staff (U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, 2025).
That's why we'll measure the pilot carefully instead of relying on testimonials. Founding schools help shape what gets built, so it's designed around real classrooms instead of guesses.
By noticing early and acting small: a real check-in, a lighter week, an extra hand with a tough class. Teachers rarely leave over one bad day. It's a workload that keeps growing and a hard month nobody saw. It matters most in special education, a shortage area in 45+ states. Rivvol gives principals a short morning brief of which teacher needs support today, so that conversation happens before the decision is made.
Rivvol for schools isn't live yet. We're forming a small group of founding pilot schools first. Join the waitlist below and we'll reach out as pilot spots open.
