Homebook School
Grades, tuition & messaging
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Homebook is the operating system for independent schools — homeschools, microschools, and private schools. One simple app to run the whole school, and a portal that keeps families in the loop.
Whether you teach two kids at the kitchen table or run a full campus, Homebook replaces the binder, the six spreadsheets, and the sticky notes with one clean system your whole team and your families can use from any phone.
RUN THE DAY
• Take attendance in seconds — grouped by grade or by teacher
• A gradebook that does its own math: term grades and GPA compute themselves
• Letter grades, or 4·3·2·1 standards-based report cards for K–8
• Printable report cards and a transcript that builds year after year — with a QR code any college can scan to verify it's authentic
• Classes with assigned teachers, whole-class grading, substitutes, and staff time-off
FAMILIES, IN THE LOOP
• A parent portal (and this app) showing grades, assignments, attendance, and records
• Two-way messaging saved to the student's record — a real paper trail, not a group text
• Parents report absences right from their phone; the teacher gets notified instantly
• One enrollment link works for both households when parents live apart
TUITION, HANDLED
• A clean ledger of who owes what
• Optional online payments: families pay by card or bank, or split into monthly auto-pay
• Funds go straight to your school's own account — Homebook never holds your money
BUILT FOR ARKANSAS EFA
• Works alongside ClassWallet — it moves the money, Homebook runs the school
• Annual assessment deadlines and eligibility reminders, tracked so nothing slips
• A Monday morning digest of your whole school; a Friday digest for every family
SAFE BY DESIGN
We hold as little worth stealing as possible. Homebook never collects Social Security numbers, online tuition settles directly to your school's own Stripe account, and every school's records are isolated at the database level. Face ID can lock the app so only you can open your records.
Flat pricing — no per-student fees, no setup fees, cancel anytime. Founding Arkansas schools lock their pricing for life.

Fixes a problem where Face ID could ask you to unlock twice when opening the app.
With Face ID lock turned on, your school records are now hidden in the app switcher.
