Now accepting founding schools

Run your school,
not your software.

You got into education to change lives, not to fight with spreadsheets and decade-old software. Trellis gives you back the hours, the clarity, and the peace of mind to focus on what actually matters — your students.

The problem

Sound familiar?

School administrators deserve better than legacy software that creates more work than it solves.

A UI from 2005

Your current system looks and feels like it was built before the iPhone existed. Teachers dread using it, and parents can't figure it out.

Billing nightmares

Payment plans that don't calculate correctly. Invoices that go missing. Hours spent reconciling what should be automatic.

6-month implementations

You signed the contract a year ago and you're still "onboarding." Meanwhile, your staff is running two systems in parallel.

Hidden fees everywhere

Per-student surcharges, module add-ons, integration fees, "premium support." The final bill is never what you were quoted.

What changes

Imagine your school
without the friction.

Every hour you spend wrestling software is an hour stolen from your students. Trellis is designed to give those hours back.

Your mornings back

Stop toggling between six tabs and three spreadsheets before first bell. Trellis puts attendance, billing, and parent messages in one calm, clear view.

Tuition on autopilot

Payment plans, automatic invoicing, late-fee handling, and real-time reconciliation. Families pay on time. You stop chasing checks.

Parents who feel included

A portal parents actually want to open. Grades, attendance, lunch orders, payments, and messages — all in one place they can reach from their phone.

Running by fall

Guided onboarding, data migration from FACTS or spreadsheets, and a team that picks up the phone. You will be live in weeks, not semesters.

Platform

Everything your school needs

Eight powerful modules that work together seamlessly. No integrations to manage, no data silos.

Student Information System

Complete student records, enrollment management, grade tracking, and academic history — all searchable and always up to date.

Tuition & Billing

Automated payment plans, Stripe-powered processing, smart invoicing, and real-time financial dashboards. No more spreadsheets.

Parent & Student Portals

Dedicated portals for families and students — grades, attendance, assignments, payments, and calendars. Reduce office calls by 60%.

Communication Hub

Announcements, email, SMS, and push notifications in one place. Emergency alerts, newsletters, and individual messages — all tracked.

Attendance & Assignments

Daily and section-based attendance tracking, assignment management with submissions and grading, and comprehensive reporting.
