Hawaiʻi’s Department of Education and Nebraska’s ESU 2 run it today

Alongside schools in other countries, TrustCircle is used by a US state department of education and a regional education service agency, and connects to their student information systems.

Students check in daily. School support staff act on what they see, and Tier 2/3 follow-through connects to HIDOE’s own data feeds.

Start the day knowing who may need attention

Only designated support staff see a short list from today’s check-ins, with the reason a student wrote. Pin, add a note, resolve. Administrators, principals, teachers and parents can’t see it.

What it asks of teachers
2–3 minutes of self-reflection time in class. Nothing else.
What it asks of you
Read the list, decide who to see, note what you did.
What it doesn’t do
Replace your judgment, your referral process or your SIS.

Check-ins are reviewed during school hours. TrustCircle is not a crisis service: if a student is in immediate danger, call 911, or call or text 988.

What support staff see 

One student’s week · example

When a conversation isn’t enough, the Tier 2/3 plan is already there

Staff can open a service plan, log each session and set an outcome review, kept alongside your district’s data. It’s set up on request and needs your district’s data feeds.

Who works from the same record

Counselors
Hand a student from Tier 2 to Tier 3, and step them back to Tier 2 when they’re ready.

Keep student support plans, IEP and 504 plans, and service logs. Log sessions against PracticeWise practice elements.
Behavioral health services (BHS) managers
Track progress with surveys and dashboards, and print credentialing reports for your specialists.

How follow-through works 

What your legal team will ask first

TrustCircle sits alongside your student information system and the supports you already run.

FERPA
Student records are handled under FERPA. Only designated support staff see a student’s check-ins.
COPPA
Schools consent on families’ behalf under TrustCircle’s COPPA privacy policy, as the law allows for school use.
Your data is yours
Schools and districts own their data. At any time, and when a partnership ends, we return a copy in the format you need and delete our copy as set out in your data agreement.
Data privacy agreements
We sign your district’s data privacy agreement.
No marketing, no advertising
Student data is used only to support your students.
Encryption
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Parent consent
Parents get an email about the check-in and can opt their child in or out.

Connects through Google sign‑in, Microsoft sign‑in, Clever, ClassLink/OneRoster, PowerSchool and Infinite Campus, plus your district’s own data feeds.

Turn student support into sustainable funding

TrustCircle helps districts and states unlock funding and keeps the check-ins, service logs, progress records and reports districts use when they pursue Medicaid, CYBHI, ESSA and state funding.Whether a source applies depends on your state and your plan. Our guide explains each source, and we’ll walk through yours in the demo.

From the funding guide

The records funding asks for

  • Tier 2 and Tier 3 service logs, kept as the work happens
  • Student dashboards and progress over time
  • Progress tracking and outcome reports
  • Documentation ready for your billing team
  • A clearer view of which funding sources fit

Sachin Chaudhry founded TrustCircle in 2015 after his brother Salil suffered an emotional breakdown from school bullying in 1994, with one mission: what happened to Salil should never happen to another student.
