Get there. Grow.
Engage. Achieve.

OYi helps schools find out why a student is missing school — and connects the family with the help that removes the barrier: the school's own supplies first, then trusted places in the neighborhood.

Pilot: Brownsville, Brooklyn · zip 11212

A brighter tomorrow starts today.

Why this exists

The average kid lives across the street from school. And still isn't there.

Chronic absence in high-poverty neighborhoods is rarely about distance. It is clean clothes, a uniform, food, a parent who is overwhelmed — and a school that has help it can't get in front of the family.

Family resource directory

Six reasons kids miss school. One zip code. Real places to go.

A family picks what's in the way. OYi shows what their own school has first — laundry cards, uniforms, coats — then a short, trusted list of places in 11212. Not an overwhelming list. Not a Google search.

Kept fresh
Every 30 days OYi texts each listing: “Reply 1 if you're still offering this.” No reply puts it in a re-check queue. Families can flag “closed or changed.”
Safety first
Self-harm and danger route straight to 988 and 911 — never to an ordinary list. OYi never connects children to unknown escorts.
17 kinds of need
Beyond the six: health, mental health, childcare, work schedules, benefits, documents, devices, new to the neighborhood and more.

Organizations are public listings in zip 11212, not OYi partners. School supplies, counts and confirmation dates in the demo are sample data.

A portal for everyone

Five portals. One student at the centre.

Each portal works in a parent's hand and on a principal's desk. Pick a portal, then pick how you want to see it.

What no other app does

A report is not help. OYi closes the loop.

Follow one child, Jordan, through four portals. One private ask from a parent becomes help from the school — and Jordan back on time.

OYi is a directory and a connector. It points families to what the school and the community already have — it does not store or hand out goods.

Communication

Messages and bulletin boards. Simple, private, in one place.

The second half of the pilot: everyone who touches a child's school day can reach each other — and only the people in a conversation can see it.

Teacher ↔ family
Lesson notes, reminders, “Jordan aced the quiz today.” In English or Spanish.
Teacher ↔ student
A direct line for the student — “see you at the 8:00 warm-up.”
Bulletin boards
School announcements, class posts, events and “help available at the main office.”
Private by default A family's need goes to the front office, not the class Parent portal in English & Spanish Notifications for new messages
In the pilot

What schools get first.

Family Resource Directory
Help by need and zip code — the school's own supplies first, then neighborhood partners.
Messaging
Teacher ↔ family, teacher ↔ student, school ↔ family. Private by default.
Bulletin Boards
School announcements, class posts, events and help available.
Attendance Tracking
Daily attendance, streaks and patterns for every student.
Interventions & Support
Turn an absence into an action, and a need into help.
Reporting & Impact
Numbers a principal can send upward.
Interventions & support

The school has 20 laundry cards. Now families know.

Principals post what the school has. Parents privately say what's in the way. OYi matches the two, and adds trusted places in the family's zip code.

  • Private by default — a need goes to the school, not the class.
  • Community resources by zip code: pantries, clinics, family services.
  • A crisis line one tap away, on every screen.
  • Parent portal in English and Spanish.

Student data protection

Built for student privacy from day one.

What a production OYi is designed to meet under New York's student-privacy rules. The prototype holds no real student data.

Encryption
In transit and at rest, as NY law requires for student PII.
Role-based access
Parents, students, teachers, principals and OYi admins see only what they need.
School isolation
Staff at one school can never view another school's students.
MFA for admins
Strong sign-in for principals and OYi staff.
Audit logs
Who viewed or changed a record, and when.
Never sold, no ads
Student data is never sold or used for advertising.
Controlled sharing
Partners only get what the agreement and the law allow.
Deletion & incident response
Data returned or deleted at the end; a written breach process.
Built, switched on later

Homework, competitions and rewards — ready when a school wants them.

They're already in the demo, switched off for the pilot. A school turns each one on from OYi Network → Security & data → Modules.

Homework & lesson videos
Assigned, done, reviewed — and visible at home and at after-school.
Later
Competitions & tournaments
Class qualifiers to city championships, by grade division.
Later
Rewards & experiences
Trophies, t-shirts, banners and class celebrations.
Later
K–12 student views
Elementary, middle and high-school dashboards.

Paper form scanning
Photograph a paper form and file it to the student.

How it works

Three steps for a school.

1
Set up the school
Classes, teams and families are loaded. Each role gets its own portal.
2
Run the day in OYi
Attendance, messages, the bulletin board and family help — in one place.
3
Act on what's in the way
Follow up on who needs it, connect families to help, keep the directory fresh.
“The app is not about just attendance.”
— Sway, founder of OYi, on what a school principal told him it had to be
Impact for schools & communities
  • Higher attendance rates
  • Improved academic performance
  • Stronger family engagement
  • Real-time intervention tracking
  • Positive school culture
