Merit brings recognition, office referrals, and student jobs together — change your school's culture, all in one place.
Built by educators, for educators.
Three tools, elevate every student.
Award points for positive behavior the moment it happens. Bulk-award a whole class, add a personal note, and let students redeem in school and classroom stores.
Document office referrals alongside recognition, so the hard moments get the same care as the good ones. Staff file, administrators resolve, nothing slips through.
Give students real responsibilities to be proud of — classroom helper, line leader, tech crew. Every role is a chance to lead, contribute, and feel trusted.
Behavior change starts with relationships. Merit keeps them at the center.
Recognition, referrals, and jobs side by side — get the full picture of your school without chasing a single spreadsheet.
Recognize
Respond
Empower
Merit is built around the daily rhythms of classroom life.
Configure PBIS focus behaviors and align them to your culture code — so every recognition reflects the values your community has already committed to.
Staff recognize students with a tap — from any modern browser on a laptop, desktop, or tablet — adding behavior-specific merit points throughout the school day.
Students watch their balance grow and browse the school or classroom store — choosing items that matter to them and submitting requests for staff to approve.
Recognition trends, building comparisons, and inactivity alerts surface automatically — so leaders can act on what's happening without having to dig for it.
From a single K–12 classroom to a district of thousands, Merit scales to fit your schools — not the other way around.
Customize recognition categories for each school, grade level, or PBIS tier. Award points individually or to a whole class in one tap.
Students browse and request items from your school store — or their teacher's classroom store. Staff review and approve each request before any points are spent.
Document behavior incidents in the same platform you recognize them. Staff file, administrators review and resolve, and every referral is tracked from open to resolved.
Post classroom and school responsibilities — line leader, library helper, tech crew. Students apply, and staff choose or assign directly. A leadership tool, no points required.
Drill into recognition and referral trends by building, grade, teacher, or behavior. Schedule reports by email — daily, weekly, or monthly.
Role-based access, US-hosted data, and encryption in transit and at rest — built on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. Student privacy is never an afterthought.
One platform that gives every role exactly what they need — and nothing they don't.
Full visibility and control from the top down. Configure recognition, office referrals, and student jobs across every building in your district.
Built for the busy teacher. Recognize, refer, and assign jobs in seconds — from any modern browser on a laptop, desktop, or tablet.
Students see their points grow in real time, redeem rewards they care about, and apply for jobs that let them lead — fueling intrinsic motivation every day.
Merit collects the minimum a PBIS program needs — and never sells it.
Merit operates as a School Official under FERPA, under each district's direction and control. Row-level security means every account sees only the data its role permits.
Data is stored in the United States and encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256), on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure with automated daily backups.
We never sell student, staff, or district data and never use it for advertising. Merit collects no demographic, medical, grade, or attendance data.
Running a district privacy review? We provide a signed Data Privacy Agreement, a NIST-CSF Security Overview, and an Incident Response Plan on request.
