Comment-based notes for elementary teachers
The notes that actually tell parents what happened
Built for elementary teachers who'd rather write a sentence than fill in a score. Capture the moment, attach the work, share it home.
- Write in plain language
- Attach student work
- Share only selected notes
Example note and sharing workflow
Parent sharingReady to send
Choose which notes go home. Everything else stays private to the teacher.
Writing growth note selected
Recess observation kept private
The flow stays short enough to use between lessons, during centres, or right after a conference.
Features
A calmer way to document learning
trove keeps the workflow simple: notice something, write one clear comment, attach the work if it helps, and decide whether that moment belongs in the parent conversation.
Comments, not scores
Write what you noticed, in your own words. No rubrics to fill in.
Photos with context
Attach the actual work and annotate the part your comment is about.
Share moments home
Pick which notes go to parents. Everything else stays private to you.
For schools
Keep the evidence before report card season
Teachers stay in their own voice, parents receive clearer context, and schools avoid turning every observation into a score just to keep a record.
“I used to dread report card season. Now I already have a term's worth of real moments written down, ready to share.”
