Our Story

The goal of the company is to help the school community better manage student workload and wellness and facilitate meaningful discussion based on real data. The product provides insight to all stakeholders

• Administrators can view student workload information across the school, as well as for individual students
• Teachers can view their classes and their students' workloads and schedules
• Students can view their assignments and assessments in a personalized view
• Parents can view their children's assignments and assessments

We started the company as we worked with a school in Palo Alto, CA, who needed an Assessment Calendar. They had a policy that no student should have more than 2 tests on any given day, but found it very challenging to implement as they lacked the tools that could provide the insight and visibility necessary. As we worked with more schools, we expanded our focus around the broader theme of student "workload and wellness". We are encouraged to see that so many schools care deeply about this.

Here is brief summary of Rjenda's solution.

Rjenda.com is an online software solution designed for schools to proactively manage student workload and wellness across their academic and extracurricular activities. With Rjenda, teachers can identify students with workload "hot spots" early and take appropriate mitigating action. Schools have deployed Rjenda as it offers a unique solution that includes:

• Effective Assessment Calendars: Teachers can view the assessment load of the students in each of their classes and more effectively schedule assessments. Schools can monitor the effectiveness of their assessment policies and practices that no student should have more than a given number of assessments on any given day.
• Homework Tracking: Students and their parents get a personalized daily and weekly view of their homework across their classes, along with the estimated time that it is expected to take. This is available via the web as well as an iOS application (iPhone, iPod Touch, etc.)
• Workload Analytics: Administrators, teachers, and advisers gain rich insight into each student's workload using several unique analytics.
• Engagement: Teachers, students and parents can now engage in more meaningful discussions around workload and wellness.
