Products—eStar Series

The eStar Series is a suite of secure, web-based applications-available to schools on an annual subscription basis-that streamline the time-consuming, often complex tasks associated with managing special education and general education programs. First introduced in 1999, the eStar Series provides teachers and administrators the most powerful, easy-to-use tools available for planning, reporting, monitoring, and archiving student data in compliance with all federal and state mandated regulations.

The eStar Series provides comprehensive, state-specific application services for Massachusetts, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin.

Simple Setup-Unlimited Availability

Extremely cost-effective, eStar applications leverage your existing technology infrastructure with no additional investment in hardware or software. As an eSped customer, all of your district's student data will be entered and consolidated into a single database, readily accessible 24 x 7 by authorized users via a simple Internet connection. Regardless of the specific applications you use or reports you create, any changes to a student's record are immediately available to all other users which dramatically improves the efficiency and reliability of all reports.

Highly Secure, End to End

eStar protects the transfer of highly confidential student data through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which encrypts the transfer of information between eSped and its authorized users. Every connection is an independent, authenticated, and secure transaction. Your own system administrators determine the access level of each user. In addition, eSped provides a PDF encryption service to ensure sensitive documents are locked and secure when emailing them to parents and other authorized parties.

Tightly Integrated with All Major Student Information Systems

With the eStar Series you have the option to seamlessly import students' biographic and demographic data from your district's general education Student Information Systems (SIS). This saves significant time when creating Individualized Education Programs (IEP), Response to Intervention (RTI), Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE), and similar reports. eStar supports Chancery, IPASS, PowerSchool, MMS, Skyward, RSCCC, and other leading student information systems.
