## Pages
- [Homeroom — the privacy-first yearbook & student publications platform](https://homeroom.software/): Homeroom builds the best K-12 yearbook, newspaper, and online edition in one tool — with privacy-first picture day: facial recognition a capability we are building and is not turned on today, student photos never sold to advertisers or data brokers, and families find their child by roster lookup, not a face scan.
- [The platform — every school program on one consented record | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/platform): One modular K-12 platform on a single consented student record: the free student-records / SIS core, Pholio school photography, the yearbook and newsroom, special education, communications, websites, fundraising, sports, PTA/PTO, diplomas, graduation, library, and clubs. Turn on what you need.
- [Product — one platform for the whole student publications program | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/product): A desktop-class book builder, a real newsroom, public online editions, an ad-sales engine, and a picture-day pipeline — one roster, one invoice. Student photos never sold; facial recognition a capability we are building and is not turned on today. Honest about what's shipped.
- [Pholio — privacy-first school photography on our own private system | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/pholio): Pholio is school photography with the privacy built in: photos and face data are never sent to an outside AI or photo company, facial recognition is a capability we are building and is not turned on today, families find their child by a roster lookup instead of a face match, and a photo is sellable only when permission allows.
- [Newsprint — the scholastic-press arm: run a real student newsroom | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/newspaper): Run a full student newsroom on Homeroom: one staff, one reporting cycle, a print edition and a rolling online news site — with press-rights curriculum, private in-VPC AI assists in early access (off until a school runs its own in-VPC model), and the same roster and consent gate that build your yearbook.
- [For photography studios — keep the portrait sale | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/for-studios): Free, complete software, the parent-portrait revenue you keep on a four-way split, an on-platform commission engine, and a privacy edge you can take to a district's procurement office.
- [For advisers & schools — the daily-driver book builder | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/for-advisers): The book builder, a real newsroom workflow, an ad-sales engine, a teach-as-you-build curriculum, and a single-school FERPA wall enforced at the database. Built for advisers.
- [Student records & academics — the spine under the whole school | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/records): The official student record the whole platform reads from: online registration with permission at sign-up, the roster, terms and class periods, enrollment, guardians, and class assignments, behind a single-school privacy wall. Attendance, transcripts, special-education authoring, behavior, and meal accounts are new and growing.
- [Commerce & fundraising — the money engine that pays the school | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/commerce): Book sales, the ad-sales engine, fundraising where the whole gift goes to the school, athletics, sponsorships, and an honest homeschool Education Savings Account record — one money engine with exact-penny splits.
- [School communications, on your own address | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/communications): Send school email from your own verified address, keep a separate list per publication, and build a search-friendly school website with no WordPress. Honest about what is shipped versus in early access.
- [Safety, by construction | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/safety): An emergency-only message scope, content moderation blocked by default, and extra-care hiding of sensitive incidents. Honest about the narrow set we ship and what we leave to specialists.
- [Who Homeroom is for — sports, arts, and families | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/audiences): One platform, told from your side of the school: the teams and boosters, the arts and student journalism, and the families who just want picture day to be private and simple. Pick the view that fits you.
- [For sports — team pages, picture day, and the money | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/for-sports): One home for a team's yearbook pages, a picture-day pipeline with facial recognition a capability we are building and is not turned on today and photos never sold, and a fundraising lane where the whole gift goes to the school. Built for teams, cheer, band, and boosters.
- [For the arts — the yearbook, the newspaper, the stage | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/for-arts): The desktop-class book builder, a real newsroom workflow, public online editions, and a teach-as-you-build curriculum — for theatre, band and music, journalism, and yearbook classes.
- [For families — picture day you can actually check | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/for-families): Find your own child with a student-list lookup, not a face match; facial recognition is a capability we are building and is not turned on today; student photos are never sold. Permission-gated sales for families and PTAs.
- [Photo galleries — class and team photos that fund the program | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/galleries): Permission-gated class and team photo galleries: a parent reaches only their own student's photos, buys prints and downloads, and the school earns a share — with photos never sold and every sale gated on permission.
- [Privacy & consent — facial recognition a capability we are building and is not turned on today | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/privacy): How Homeroom protects every child's picture: student-list 'find my child' instead of a face match, facial recognition a capability we are building and is not turned on today, student photos never sold to advertisers or data brokers, permission-gated sales.
- [Pricing — no contract, no overprint, an honest take-rate | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/pricing): Print-on-demand books with no contract and no minimum order, a code-enforced cost floor, and a deliberately modest platform take-rate — the studio keeps the larger leg.
- [Consent at the core — the privacy gate everything stands on | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/consent): Consent isn't a feature in Homeroom — it's the foundation under commerce, publication, and AI. A per-subject commerce off-switch, COPPA/BIPA/FERPA answered by how the system is built, and a database-trigger publish gate that blocks consent-unsafe content even when the app is bypassed.
- [Security & trust — protections that live below the app | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/trust): Homeroom's security posture, sourced from the architecture: built-in database privacy rules that keep each school's data separate, proven against real Postgres; consent gates that block by default with a database-trigger publish backstop; a permanent, add-only history of every change; a PCI SAQ-A wall where raw card data never touches our server; and COPPA/FERPA walls.
- [FAQ — pricing, privacy, switching & the honest answers | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/faq): Straight answers to what schools and studios actually ask: pricing and the code-enforced cost floor, switching from a multi-year contract, where picture-day data lives, FERPA/COPPA, who keeps the portrait revenue, what's shipped vs. early access, support, and contracts.
- [Accessibility & language access — built in, never billed | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/accessibility): Built so every reader is included and every family's language is reached — and we never charge extra for it. Accessible online editions, screen-reader-friendly PDF export, a keyboard-run design canvas, and automated contrast and alt-text checks are live; a cannot-publish-broken gate, read-aloud, private in-school translation, and Braille and large-print editions are coming.
- [Journalism curriculum — teach it on the real page | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/curriculum): A teach-as-you-build journalism curriculum inside the editor: 34 live lessons on the exact screen a student is working, an administrator-ready standards alignment report across 51 states and areas with every match a checkable public code, and grade passback. Honest that the deeper multi-level course is still coming.
- [Resources — guides, the privacy story & the curriculum | Homeroom](https://homeroom.software/resources): The Homeroom resource hub: the privacy & consent explainer, the teach-as-you-build curriculum that is honest about which standards it meets (JEA, Common Core, and a state crosswalk), product and pricing guides, and getting-started help. Honest about what's published.
