Transparent pricing. Designed for districts of all sizes.

How Merit Works

Simple to use. Powerful for your school's PBIS program.

Merit is built around the daily rhythms of classroom life — no training required for teachers to get started.

1

Set up your school

Configure PBIS focus behaviors and align them to your culture code — so every recognition reflects the values your community has already committed to.

2

Teachers award in seconds

Staff recognize students with a tap — from any browser on a laptop or desktop — adding behavior-specific merit points throughout the school day.

3

Students earn & redeem

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.

4

See the full picture

Recognition trends, building comparisons, and inactivity alerts surface automatically — so leaders can act on what's happening without having to dig for it.

Built for K–12

Everything your district needs

From a single K–12 classroom to a district of thousands, Merit scales to fit your schools — not the other way around.

🏅

Positive Behavior Recognition

Customize recognition categories for each school, grade level, or PBIS tier. Award points individually or to a whole class in one tap.

🏪

Built-In School Store

Manage a digital reward store — or connect physical prizes — at the district, school, or classroom level with full inventory tracking.

📊

District-Wide Reporting

Drill into recognition trends by building, grade, teacher, or behavior. Schedule reports by email — daily, weekly, or monthly.

🔔

Smart Alerts & Nudges

Get automatic alerts for students who haven't been recognized recently, so no child falls through the cracks.

🎒

School & Classroom Stores

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.

🔒

Secure & FERPA-Ready

Built for K–12 from day one. Data is stored in the US, access is role-based, and student privacy is never an afterthought.
