NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint® Educational Systems has been re-selected as a state-approved student information system (SIS) vendor under Tennessee’s latest SIS contract, enabling the company to continue building on more than a decade of commitment to serving Tennessee school districts.

Through the state-approved contract, Tennessee school districts can evaluate and select the system that best meets their needs without conducting a separate procurement process. All components of the Synergy® Education Platform are offered under the contract, with the core Synergy SIS suite as the required starting point.

Districts can expand their Synergy offering to replace third-party solutions, often saving significant time and money. Implementing additional modules enable districts to create a comprehensive, real-time source of truth connecting administrative, instructional, and student support workflows for every student from registration through graduation — helping educators translate student data into action. The full-featured native solutions offered in the platform include LMS, assessment, MTSS with early warning system, special education and 504 plan management, and advanced analytics.

Edupoint has already added six new Tennessee districts to the Tennessee user base in 2026. These districts, representing more than 20,000 students, are replacing their existing Skyward SIS solution for the 2026/27 school year. Today, Synergy serves 36 Tennessee school districts supporting 185,000 students statewide, and more than 5.5 million students across 21 states.

“Our continued growth in Tennessee highlights the importance of having accurate, accessible data to support student success,” said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. “Synergy helps districts eliminate data silos, improve efficiency, and empower educators with the real-time information they need to make informed decisions for every student.”

Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland Selects Synergy Education Platform

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems today announced that Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform for its K-12 student information and learning management needs. The district's solution will include Synergy Student Information System (SIS), Synergy Online Registration, Synergy MTSS, and Synergy Analytics, to be hosted in the Synergy AWS Cloud environment. PGCPS is one of the 20 largest school districts in the country, serving over 128,000 students across 206 schools in Maryland's Capital Region adjacent to Washington, D.C.

PGCPS set out to find a modern, intuitive SIS to replace its current 15-year-old system. After researching the marketplace and speaking with peers in nearby districts, the team at PGCPS selected three products to evaluate in depth. First, the IT team investigated all three solutions to ensure they met requirements around core functionality. Next, a cross-functional stakeholder group - consisting of more than 60 parents, students, teachers, secretaries, principals, IT staff, and other central office department leaders - attended a "demo day" and rated the products on user-friendliness of the interface, mobile responsiveness, system accessibility and scalability, software customization, integration with other systems, and communication. In the final round, schedulers from five middle and high schools, along with 23 staff from the district's accountability, academics, and student services teams undertook a deeper exploration of system functionality around scheduling, data analysis, and reporting. After emerging as a demo-day favorite, Synergy Education Platform clinched the top spot in the final round.

Synergy Education Platform is a comprehensive ecosystem that combines student information management, MTSS, analytics, special education, and more in one seamless platform that includes a powerful suite of native, role-based mobile apps. With Synergy, PGCPS will get a state-of-the-art platform capable of meeting the varied needs of the district's broad user base while keeping pace with advancements and innovations within the district and in K-12 public education more generally. Synergy includes powerful tools that facilitate convenient communication districtwide, including between schools and with parents and students. The MTSS module will allow teachers and interventionists to access all student data in one place, eliminating the need to log into an additional system to access SIS data.

"Synergy consistently ranked very high on customer service and product support based on feedback from our colleagues in benchmarked districts," said Andrew Zuckerman, EdD, Chief Information and Technology Officer at PGCPS. "And throughout the evaluation process, Synergy consistently earned the highest marks from our stakeholder evaluators."

"Our audience was impressed with Synergy and the Edupoint team," said Jinghong Gao, Director of Technology Applications-Student Support at the district. "The flexibility the system can provide us with its configurability and workflow definition features really stood out in the demonstrations. We are enthusiastic about the potential for building processes to support our needs in Synergy rather than having to rely on third-party systems. The two-way communication capabilities between schools and with parents and students were also exciting to see and will fill a gap we have in our current system."

"Prince Georges County Public Schools needed a modern student data management system to replace its legacy system and open up new possibilities for efficiencies and enhancements," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "Synergy Education Platform, with its seamlessly integrated, comprehensive functionality, is perfectly positioned to support the amazing PGCPS team in this regard. We are thrilled to partner with the district to upgrade the technical toolset available to the talented team there in order to meet the varied needs of all stakeholders."

Bethlehem Area School District (Pennsylvania) Selects Synergy Education Platform

BETHLEHEM, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems announced today that Bethlehem Area School District (BASD) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Education Platform for its K-12 student data management needs. The district's solution will include Synergy Student Information System, Synergy Online Registration, Synergy MTSS, and Synergy Special Education, and will be hosted in the Synergy AWS Cloud environment. BASD serves over 13,300 students across 22 schools in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.

Bethlehem district leadership assembled a team to explore current industry offerings and evaluate their ability to offer improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. Over a period of six months, 67 participants representing a wide variety of roles at all levels of the organization - including secretaries, teachers, principals, assistant principals, and applications specialists, in addition to the district technology team - contributed feedback on the solutions under consideration. After extensive evaluation, including hosting week-long software demonstrations with three finalists, the team selected Synergy based on a number of key factors, including the following:

* Integrated student information, special education, and MTSS management

* Streamlining of special education and MTSS processes

* Robust query, reporting, and decision support tools

* Timely, reliable data

* Federal and state reporting capabilities

* An established and growing presence in Pennsylvania

The district also sought a vendor with a long-term commitment to building and supporting its solutions in-house - a criterion that only Edupoint was able to meet.

"We didn't want multiple separate systems," said Marie Bachman, Chief Technology Officer at BASD. "We wanted to give our teachers an improved user experience, greater access to students' special education information, and a better system for MTSS - all of which will enhance their ability to support students. Teachers are excited about these modules, which work together and are built right into the interface that they will already be using for everyday tasks."

"With Synergy, Bethlehem Area School District is getting a student data management system that will aid in eliminating unnecessary data-entry and integration busywork so stakeholders can focus their time on higher priorities, including supporting students and improving learning outcomes," said Rob Wilson, Edupoint's President and Chief Innovation Officer. "The seamless integration built into Synergy Education Platform will make a significant contribution, as well, to the district's efforts to improve data governance. We are pleased to welcome BASD aboard as an Edupoint partner."

Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 (Illinois) Selects Synergy Student Information System

LAKE ZURICH, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems announced today that Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 (LZCUSD) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Information System (SIS) for its student data management needs. The district's solution will include Synergy SIS and Synergy Online Registration, hosted in the Synergy Cloud environment. LZCUSD serves over 5,500 students across eight schools northwest of Chicago.

Lake Zurich leadership began looking for a new SIS after determining that the district's technology plan for the next decade would require moving to a more flexible, forward-thinking system. They launched a thorough and inclusive multi-step process that involved nurses, teachers, principals, secretaries, parents, and students from the requirements gathering stage. After online and in-person demonstrations of three finalist systems, the core team selected Synergy SIS for its flexibility, forward-thinking design, and wide-ranging functionality.

Synergy SIS balances ease of use with a degree of control that is unmatched in the marketplace. Synergy provides schools and districts with exceptional data access and reporting capabilities, powerful tools for streamlining and automating processes, extensive customization options, and best-in-class data security. The built-in TeacherVUE® Portal With Gradebook gives teachers a single place to access attendance and seating charts, a 360° profile of every student, and tools for analyzing student progress and standards proficiency. The ParentVUE® and StudentVUE® portals provide families with unprecedented access to grades, assignments, progress indicators, and teacher communication. Role-based mobile apps offer convenience for teachers, administrators, special education teams, counselors, health staff, parents, and students.

"We felt like we were picking the best of the best," said Phillip Howard, Executive Director of Technology at Lake Zurich. "It met 913 of our 915 functional requirements. That's pretty great. The mobile-first posture was really compelling. So was the ability to directly access the database. We liked that Synergy would allow us to customize every screen to our heart's content despite being a full-featured product off-the-shelf. The user interface was thoughtfully laid out and scored high for ease of use. Plus, it's a one-stop shop - we didn't have to buy a bunch of add-ons or systems that would need support from a third party."

As part of the seamless Synergy Education Platform ecosystem, Synergy SIS enables schools and districts to easily extend functionality to include online registration, MTSS, assessment, analytics, learning management, and special education management in a single platform.

"Lake Zurich CUSD's search for a new student information system was about more than just software," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. "It was about finding the right partnership to take the district into the future. At Edupoint we work hard to be that partner and were pleased that the evaluation team saw the evidence in our product. We look forward to supporting the district in achieving its goals and fulfilling its mission to 'empower every learner to achieve personal excellence.'"

Edupoint Announces 4th Annual ‘Partner for Life’ Award Co-Recipients: Oregon’s High Desert Education Service District and Beaverton School District

MESA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management, is pleased to announce that Rachel Wente-Chaney, Chief Information Officer for High Desert Education Service District (HDESD) in Redmond, Oregon, and Steven Langford, Chief Information Officer for Beaverton School District (BSD) in Beaverton, Oregon, have been selected as co-recipients of the company's 2019 Partner For Life Award.

Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO of Edupoint, presented the awards at the Opening Session of the company's 2019 Synergy CONNECT conference in Anaheim, California, earlier this month.

Edupoint's partnerships with HDESD and BSD were instrumental in bringing about the Oregon Student Information System (OSIS) committee's 2012 selection of Synergy as Oregon's statewide student information system, representing more than 400,000 students.

"Rachel Wente-Chaney and Steve Langford are two early adopters who embodied the spirit of partnership that Edupoint considers one of the cornerstones of our business," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Office of Edupoint.

"They implemented Synergy at their districts before the statewide search effort and helped open many doors in the state adoption. The selection marked an important milestone for Edupoint, both in terms of our growth in the Pacific Northwest and as an affirmation of our maturity as a K-12 solutions provider and our potential growth nationwide. With this year's Partner for Life Award, we recognize Rachel and Steve for their ongoing commitment to Synergy and to the support of learning at their districts."

"Redmond School District was the first pilot district to work with us and with Edupoint to bring Synergy to Oregon," Wente-Chaney said. "My team has been supporting student information systems since 2009, and we provide everything from end user support - when a teacher needs to know how to take attendance or enter grades - all the way through patches, updates, and custom programming in Synergy. The OSIS team has also done great work with us over the years."

"We have some fantastic teams at Beaverton that support Synergy for our district of 41,000 students at 54 schools," Langford said. "Everything we do in IT is done together in teams, and that concept of collaboration and teamwork is something that we look for in our partners as well. We very much appreciate Edupoint's willingness to sit with us and explore new ways to give our students and staff time and information."

In recognition of Wente-Chaney and Langford's valued contributions, Edupoint has awarded $10,000 to each district to be granted as a student scholarship based on criteria of the district's choosing.

Bethel School District in Washington Selects Synergy Student Information System

SPANAWAY, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bethel School District (BSD) has selected the industry-leading Synergy(R) Student Information System (SIS) by Edupoint(R) Educational Systems for its K-12 student data management needs. The district's Synergy solution will include Synergy Online Registration and cloud hosting to serve over 19,000 K-12 students in the Seattle metropolitan area.

Decision-makers at Bethel began considering new data management options in response to an aging SIS and changes taking place with their existing support provider. After narrowing the field to Synergy SIS and one other product, the evaluation team spent six months learning about each product's capabilities, ensuring that every role and department in the district had an opportunity to provide feedback.

"We were on an explorer route, looking to discover what a new SIS could bring to our district and what it could support," said Michael Christianson, Chief Technology Officer at BSD. "We knew there were things we didn't even think about doing because we didn't know what to ask for. In the end we chose Synergy because we believed it would have the biggest impact on our staff in schools and on students. We especially liked the mature communication tools for involving parents and the mobile apps that enable principals, security, and other staff to manage anything they want to without having to be at a desk. We're an Apple district, so the fact that there are native iOS apps was a plus."

The evaluation team found Synergy to be teacher-focused without a lot of setup. Teachers have quick access to reports in the gradebook, and the flexibility in standards-based grading will allow different teachers to use different sets of standards. Secondary schools can stay with traditional grading now and move to standards-based grading later if needed.

"Bethel School District approached Edupoint with an open mind and allowed us to show them what student data management can be," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "We are thrilled to be partnering with Bethel in empowering their staff and helping their students achieve."

"Our teachers were wowed by Synergy.

Edupoint Enters Florida with Clay County District Schools’ Selection of its Synergy Education Platform

GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Clay County District Schools has selected Edupoint(R) Educational Systems to implement its industry-leading Synergy Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management. The district's cloud-hosted Synergy solution will include Synergy Student Information System, Synergy Learning Management System with RTI/MTSS and Assessment, Synergy Special Education, and Synergy Adult Ed/WDIS System. Clay County District Schools serves over 36,000 students across 52 schools in northeast Florida.

Synergy Education Platform will provide Clay County District Schools with a seamless ecosystem for streamlining student data management, giving the district a single database to hold all of its data points, cleaning the data, making reporting more efficient, and providing visibility in one location.

"Technology should result in an improvement of process, not overwhelm you," said Jeremy Bunkley, Director of Information Services for Clay County District Schools. "We were reaching a point of training saturation, but with Synergy, we are getting a single place to put everything. That will reduce the amount of professional development needed and really simplify the process for our teachers."

Synergy Education Platform will also make it easier for Clay County teachers to perform instructional tasks such as identifying student strengths and weaknesses, differentiating instruction, tracking student progress, ensuring that students receive needed intervention, and collaborating with other teachers.

"Clay is once again being proactive and moving toward a more teacher-friendly system," said Renna Lee Paiva, President of Clay County Education Association. "I am sure the teachers will be delighted with the potential of this new system."

"The system that we're replacing is a good SIS, but we knew we could do more," said Superintendent Addison Davis. "The Synergy mobile applications have a clean, crisp design and provide a level of accessibility and visibility for students that we believe will be a fantastic addition. When we took into account all of the various programs we're going to be turning off, we realized this wasn't just about a professional development and training pattern - this was about a fiscal savings for the district."

"Edupoint found a kinship with Clay County in what we were attempting to do, placing a high value on solutions that are not only teacher-centric, but are also focused on streamlining processes to make everyday tasks easier," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. "We are pleased to be partnering with Clay County in providing our next-generation data management solutions to their stakeholders, and we look forward to developing new relationships with districts throughout Florida."

Greenville Public Schools Becomes First School District to Select Synergy Education Platform Through Michigan REMC SAVE Bid Project

GREENVILLE, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint(R) Educational Systems has been selected by Michigan's Greenville Public Schools to implement the company's industry-leading Synergy(R) Education Platform, replacing PowerSchool in the semi-rural district serving approximately 3,800 students. Greenville's Synergy solution includes the fully-integrated Synergy Student Information System (SIS), Synergy Online Registration, and Synergy Assessment, as well as the Inspect(R) Item Bank from Key Data Systems that works seamlessly with Synergy Assessment.

Greenville is the first Michigan school district to contract with Edupoint through Michigan's REMC SAVE Bid Project, a cooperative purchasing program that saves schools money and simplifies the procurement of educational resources. REMC SAVE is a project of the REMC Association of Michigan on behalf of all Michigan schools. Edupoint is providing Synergy implementation and training in conjunction with its Michigan-based business partner Computer Management Technologies (CMT).

"Our district chose to switch from PowerSchool to Synergy to enhance standards-based grading, assessment, and parent/student communication," said Laura Pleune, Director of Instructional Technology at Greenville Public Schools. "We made the decision in August of last year and made the switch before the start of the current school year. Teachers are currently creating both formative and summative assessments using the Inspect test bank, and we have improved efficiency through our use of the parent-student-teacher conference scheduling tool and the ParentVUE, StudentVUE, and TeacherVUE portals. Our whole system is strengthened by Synergy, and we are very grateful to Tri-County, who also uses Synergy as their SIS, for sharing practical tips. Service provided to us by the team at CMT has also been invaluable to us during this implementation."

"Greenville Public schools wanted a student data management solution that would help the district track student learning against standards and improve the home-school connection," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. "Edupoint's Synergy Education Platform provides the communication tools, assessment capabilities, and comprehensive standards support Greenville needed to achieve district goals. We are pleased to welcome Greenville Public Schools to the Synergy family and appreciate our partnerships with REMC SAVE and CMT that helped to bring Greenville on board."

Greenville Public Schools rolled out Synergy Education Platform districtwide in August.

Desert Sands Unified School District in California Selects Synergy SIS

LA QUINTA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint(R) Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy Education Platform for K-12 student information, learning management, and assessment, has been selected by Desert Sands Unified School District to implement Edupoint's Synergy(R) Student Information System (SIS), replacing eSchoolPLUS(TM) (now owned by PowerSchool(R)).

The district's Synergy solution includes the fully-integrated Synergy Online Registration and Synergy Assessment modules. Desert Sands Unified School District serves approximately 29,000 students at 34 schools in Southern California's Coachella Valley.

Synergy SIS provides the richest feature set in the industry to help school districts manage student data, improve accuracy, simplify and automate processes, and increase productivity. It provides a built-in teacher portal with robust gradebook, exceptional data access for reporting and analysis, and is highly configurable to match the unique needs of individual districts. The Online Registration module enables parents to enter their child's information into the system conveniently from home, and creates a student record only when the student is accepted at a school.

The Assessment module provides a platform for creating and managing formative, benchmark, and summative assessments that students can take online through the StudentVUE web portal or mobile app. Assessment results are analyzed within the module as well, with interactive reports tailored to teachers, principals, and district administrators.

"DSUSD followed a robust, three-tiered evaluation protocol when choosing a new SIS," said Kelly May-Vollmar, Ed.D., Chief Innovation and Information Officer at Desert Sands. "It was vital the company have a strong implementation and training plan, extensive data security measures, and meet an exhaustive list of system functionality requirements. Most importantly, we had to be able to do more for students. Synergy was just what we were looking for in a new system. During the evaluation process, our 60-plus member evaluation panel watched in awe as the Edupoint team demonstrated Synergy's capability. We knew this system was what we wanted for our students and our teachers."

"Desert Sands Unified School District needed a robust SIS and a partner they could count on," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "The district determined that Synergy SIS was the best match for their requirements based on our solution's rich functionality and Edupoint's proven history as a dedicated partner supporting California districts. We welcome DSUSD as a new client district and look forward to our continued partnership."

Northern Humboldt Union High School District (CA) Selects Synergy

MCKINLEYVILLE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint(R) Educational Systems has been selected by Northern Humboldt Union High School District (NHUHSD) to implement the company's Synergy(R) Student Information System, replacing Schoolmaster. The district's cloud-hosted Synergy solution will include the fully-integrated Synergy Online Registration, California State Reporting, TeacherVUE(R) Portal With Gradebook, and ParentVUE(R) and StudentVUE(R) portals. NHUHSD serves approximately 1,700 students from a 900 square mile area of Northern California.

"It was laborious to get the data out of our old system," said Suzie McCray, Programs and Data Systems Coordinator for NHUHSD. "But the final straw for the district was the vendor's inability to stay current with California state reporting. CALPADS has become more important to our local control accountability plan. Our funding is tied to CALPADS so it's critical that this data be correct.

"As we evaluated vendors for a new SIS solution, we looked at their track record on innovation, including mobile applications. We wanted a company that we could grow into, not one that we would be pushing to keep pace as our needs change and evolve. In the end we selected Edupoint's Synergy. We liked how well Synergy integrates to the California special education reporting system we use and our users appreciated how user friendly the software is. But what really clinched the decision for me was the reference checking process. All of the Edupoint references were positive and I liked what they had to say about the product and the company."

"We are delighted to partner with NHUHSD as they modernize their student information system, simplify processes, and improve data accuracy," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer of Edupoint. "Our Synergy Education Platform is well-designed to help the district meet its goals, not just today, but as they continue to evolve over time."
