School support team tools

Every student is a
mosaic.
See the whole picture.

Small school student support teams do vital work — but they're often piecing together student histories from scattered spreadsheets, email threads, and phone calls. I help you bring it all into one place.

Your team is doing the work.
The system isn't keeping up.

Student support teams at small and mid-sized schools are often running lean — a counselor, a coordinator, a social worker, maybe an administrator who wears multiple hats. The care is there. The coordination infrastructure often isn't.

The result is that critical information lives in the wrong places: a referral in someone's email, a check-in note that only one person knows about, intervention history that has to be reconstructed before every team meeting. Having everything in one place — readable and editable by the whole team in real time — is what makes those meetings actually productive. And as districts are increasingly asked to implement more systematic, tiered support structures, that coordination gap becomes harder to ignore.

This isn't a people problem. It's a tools problem — and it's one that's worth solving.

  • Check-ins fall through the cracks when no shared system flags overdue cases
  • Referral history is scattered across email threads and separate spreadsheets
  • New staff have no visibility into a student's prior support history
  • Reporting on team activity requires manual digging before every review cycle
  • Schools have contact records — but who reached out, when, and what was said often lives outside the team's shared view

Set up for your school, supported by
someone who does this work.

I set up the portal inside your school's existing Google Workspace and train your team to use it. After that, I keep it running and stay a message away.

01
Configured for your school
Set up around your team structure and your workflow: your team names, your term calendar, the thresholds you flag on, your labels, and a permission list your admins manage inside the app. Not a generic template you have to bend your process around. New functionality beyond that is scoped and quoted before any work starts.
02
Staff training included
One live 60-minute walkthrough with your team, so everyone is confident on day one, not just the person who set it up. Refresher sessions draw from your annual support hours.
03
Ongoing support
Unlimited bug fixes, plus ten hours a year of support, refresher training, and configuration changes. Responses within two business days, from someone who understands student support work, not a help desk that's never heard of a Student Assistance Team.
04
Your data, your control
Everything lives in a Google Sheet inside your own Workspace, owned by a district account. Staff use the app; nobody has to be handed the spreadsheet. Who can open what is set by a permission list your admins manage inside the portal. No third-party storage. If you stop working with me, you keep the tool and every record. What you'd lose is support and updates, not your data.

A growing toolkit for
school support teams.

Everything I build runs inside Google Workspace, needs no new vendor contract, and is used daily by the person who built it. The portal covers the whole support pipeline for the team. The other two are built for special education staff: one for IEP goals and services, one for the school psychologist's evaluation caseload.

I still work in a school every day.

I built the first version of these tools because my own team needed them. We were tracking student referrals in a confusing, messy spreadsheet, rarely logging family contacts, and piecing together histories from emails and phone calls. It wasn't a staffing problem — we had good people. It was a coordination problem, and I knew there was a better solution possible. So I built one from scratch inside Google Workspace.

I iterated on it through a school year of real use, and eventually other people started asking about it. That's what Mosaic is: not a product built for schools, but a tool built inside one — by someone who still shows up to work in a school every day.

When I help another team set it up, you're working with someone who knows what a student support meeting actually looks like — the conversation about a struggling student's strengths, context, and what the team can realistically put in place to help. Whether your school calls it a SAT, SST, MTSS team, or something else, the work is the same.
