One platform. Every part of the school day.

From homeroom to homework, SHERPA replaces a tangle of spreadsheets and logins with a single, secure system designed for Massachusetts schools.

Smart Enrollment

Online registration with proof-of-residency uploads, sibling matching, and seamless transfer between MA districts.

Attendance & Grading

Take attendance from any device, manage standards-based grading, and generate report cards in minutes.

Family Engagement

Two-way messaging in 30+ languages, real-time progress, and a parent app families actually want to open.

IEP & 504 Workflows

Track meetings, accommodations, and progress monitoring with templates aligned to MA special education law.

Real-Time Analytics

Dashboards built around MCAS, ACCESS, and chronic absenteeism — get answers without exporting to Excel.

DESE-Ready Reporting

SIMS, EPIMS, and SCS submissions generated automatically — validated against the latest DESE rules.

For District Leaders

Built for the Commonwealth's complexity.

From Cape Cod to the Berkshires, Massachusetts districts run differently. SHERPA adapts — with multi-school configurations, role-based permissions, and a deep integration library for tools you already use.

  • Single sign-on with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Clever.
  • Open API and SIF connectors for your LMS, transportation, and food services.
  • Migration assistance from Aspen, PowerSchool, and Infinite Campus.
"SHERPA gave our principals back two days a week. DESE reporting that used to take a month now takes an afternoon."
