Twelfth Grade · the senior year, the exit, graduation and beyond
How Twelfth Grade Software works
The same platform runs all thirteen grades, but what LEADS shifts by grade. Here is how Twelfth Grade actually works — capability by capability, each marked honestly as shipped or early-access.
One grade's view of the same K–12 platform. The plain-language module catalog front door is at schoolsoftware.app; the flagship platform home is at homeroom.software.
What leads at Twelfth Grade, and why
The platform is one system across all thirteen grades, but the capabilities that MATTER shift by grade. These are the ones that lead here, in order, each marked honestly as shipped or early-access.
The permanent transcript
The senior year produces the FINAL transcript a college receives; the credit audit confirms every graduation requirement is met, and the permanent record is sealed to its state-statute retention floor. Shipped
Report cards
Final-term report cards and the graduation credit summary generated honestly from the record. Shipped
The yearbook production editor
The senior yearbook is the thirteen-year culmination; the production editor, ladder, and a fail-closed proof gate carry the senior section and the class book. Shipped
Picture day
The senior portrait is the signature image of the year, matched to the student off the roster. Shipped
Consent, guardian-first
As a senior turns eighteen and prepares to exit, the disclosure and consent posture sets up the handoff to a subject-sovereign alumni identity (see alumnus.software). Shipped
Credits, GPA, the transcript, and the integrity trail
The senior year and the exit; college and career applications, a capstone, the final transcript, graduation, and the senior-portrait and yearbook culmination of thirteen years.
Every posted term grade contributes to a cumulative GPA stored in integer milli-points, permanent by a state-statute retention floor. The gradebook-of-record feeds a record that lasts; weighted categories in exact-integer basis points carry no drift across four years, and the GPA is a pure deterministic projection — the same inputs always produce the same number.
With grades now permanent, the append-only grade-change log — who changed a grade, from what, to what, the reason, and the approver for a significant change, granted SELECT and INSERT only — is the fairness backbone behind the transcript. A correction is a new row; the original is never altered. A rep-scoped session reads zero grade rows at the database engine, before any application code runs.
The exit and the alumni handoff
Out of K-12 entirely -- into college, career, and ALUMNI life. The exit hands off to a consent-first, subject-sovereign alumni identity at alumnus.software; this is the last rung on the K-12 ladder.
The final transcript is the record a college receives, and it is sealed to its state-statute retention floor. As a senior turns eighteen and prepares to leave, the disclosure and consent posture sets up a handoff to a subject-sovereign alumni identity at alumnus.software, where the former student — now an adult — controls their own consent, visibility, and directory presence.
Where this year sits on the ladder
This year begins from: From the pivotal junior year into the senior year of applications and the final push to graduation.
And it leads into: Out of K-12 entirely -- into college, career, and ALUMNI life. The exit hands off to a consent-first, subject-sovereign alumni identity at alumnus.software; this is the last rung on the K-12 ladder.
What is built and what is honest-off
Live payment rails — checkout and any card charge — are founder-gated: no card is charged on these pages. The platform is SIS-adjacent: it imports the roster and reads against it, and the school keeps the authoritative enrollment record in its existing system. There is no AI over grade records — grades are recorded and projected deterministically, never inferred. Mailed report cards are honest early-access: the print-ready generation is built, and the postal send is the early-access step, named plainly. The school stays the FERPA custodian, and a rep-scoped session reads zero grade rows at the database engine. No competitor brand names appear here. Money, pricing, and checkout are not on this page.
The K–12 ladder and the wider platform
Thirteen grades, one roster, one honest platform. Move a rung in either direction, or step out to the catalog and the flagship home.
