The Habitus platform

One platform for the work that keeps a school running.

Discipline, school culture, daily logistics, and emergency response — in one place, shared by everyone on staff, with each district's data kept separate and secure.

Built for everyone who runs a school

Choose your role to see what changes for you.

Consistent discipline, fully documented.

Every referral arrives in one queue with the student's full history beside it. Consequences, plans, removals, and reentry conferences follow the same steps every time — and every decision is on the record.

  • Referrals
  • Consequences
  • Behavior Plans
  • Dean Behavior Dashboard
  • Classroom Removals (La. R.S. 17:416)
  • Reentry Conferences

Four packages, priced per student

Accountability is the base. Add Culture, Operations, and Safety in any combination — $6 to $13 per student per year.

Accountability

$6 per student / year · required base

Consistent, documented behavior management — from a teacher's note to a dean's decision.

  • Referrals and consequences. Every incident logged once, routed, and resolved consistently.
  • Behavior plans and MTSS. Tiered supports with goals, reviews, and progress over time.
  • Dean dashboard. Tier distribution, repeat patterns, and what needs attention today.
All 27 Accountability features
  • Dashboard

    At-a-glance counts: open referrals, today's consequences, attendance flags, and what's on your plate right now.

  • Student Directory

    Searchable roster with the full behavior, attendance, and contact history per student — one timeline, no tab-hopping.

  • Notifications

    In-app bell with realtime unread badge, plus per-event preferences for in-app, email, and browser push (PWA).

  • Quick Behavior Entry

    Single-screen entry to log a minor infraction or award recognition without leaving the hallway.

  • Behavior Notes

    Lightweight teacher-logged notes that capture early patterns without escalating to an infraction. Auto-flag pattern reviews at 3+ notes in 7 days.

  • Minor Infractions

    Low-stakes documentation that builds pattern data without launching a full referral.

  • Referrals

    Structured incident write-ups with witnesses, narratives, and routing straight to the dean's queue.

    Multi-party incident investigations with linked referrals, witness statements, and resolution tracking.

  • Follow-ups

    Action items born from incidents — owners, due dates, completion — so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Behavior Plans

    Tiered placement, interventions, and progress monitoring per student.

  • Resets & Recovery

    Short in-class or buddy-room resets logged with outcome — the recovery step before a formal consequence.

    Optional restorative tracker: assign a repair action, verify completion, close the loop with the affected party.

    Per-student per-section removal counter with statutory thresholds and auto-scheduled reentry conferences.

  • Reentry Conferences

    Scheduled reentry meetings after suspensions/removals with participants, agenda, and signed outcome.

  • Advanced Reports

    Custom multi-filter queries across behavior, attendance, and consequences. Save views, schedule exports.
