Engineers and Educators, Together

Our Story

Every district is unique. Every school has its own culture, its own challenges, its own way of supporting students. But one thing is universal: teachers are stretched thin. Counselors carry impossible caseloads. Coordinators spend more time on documentation than on the students the documentation is about.

Our founders came from two different worlds that turned out to be the same problem. One built data systems that collected signals from buildings to make them run better — and saw that schools were drowning in disconnected data about students. The other was a parent navigating an IEP process, frustrated by the lack of visibility into what was happening at school. Both had families full of lifelong educators who knew the reality: teaching can be isolating, and the tools meant to help often make things harder.

We built Elmer Suite because we believe no teacher should feel like they're on an island, and no coordinator should lose sleep over a missed deadline buried in a spreadsheet. The platform connects the signals that matter — behavior, academics, attendance, interventions, IEP goals — so your team can see the whole student, make faster decisions, and spend their time where it counts. We've been doing this for over a decade, and every district we work with makes the product better for the next one.
