This webinar introduces Schoolytics, now part of the Newsela family, and explores how districts can unify student data to drive clearer, faster decision-making. The session focuses on solving common K–12 data challenges—siloed systems, rigid reports, and limited internal capacity.

You’ll see how connected data supports attendance initiatives, assessment analysis, MTSS tracking, and site-level leadership. The conversation highlights how districts move beyond spreadsheets and legacy tools to create interactive, customized dashboards that truly support educators.
