School and Athletics Low Latency Information Executive

SALLIE

Simplifying School and Athletic Operations.

SALLIE brings school and athletic operations together in one convenient platform. Designed with the needs of athletic directors and school districts in mind, SALLIE helps manage the many responsibilities involved in running school athletic programs and activities.

It works the way the job is spoken. Type or say what is happening, such as “Thursday's game is postponed to Friday”, and SALLIE shows a card with what that would change. Nothing changes until a person confirms, and a confirmed change can be undone.

A change is rarely one thing. When a game moves to another day, the bus request follows it, the officials are marked to re-confirm, the gate and concessions posts move with the event, and each traveling athlete's family gets one text. SALLIE keeps those pieces together, so the athletic director does not have to carry them all in their head.

Data Privacy: What Sets SALLIE Apart

Your Data. Your School. Your Control.

We understand that schools manage sensitive information. SALLIE is built in two halves so that the most sensitive part stays with you: the names and phone numbers of students and families are kept on a machine your school controls, and SALLIE's cloud works with codes in their place.

We know schools need to embrace technology with safety in mind. Our CTO made this the top priority in the development of SALLIE. Let us serve your district and help you protect your students' information.

Read the full data privacy page

  • What stays in your building

    The names and phone numbers of students and families, the photos and names of visitors, your state-reporting records, and the keys. They are held by the SALLIE agent, which runs on a machine your school controls: an appliance in a locked room, or a virtual machine on your own cluster.

  • What the cloud holds instead

    A code such as P-7Q2KX4M3 in place of each student and family, plus times, places, classes, buses, rules and the record of every change. Staff names and email addresses are in the cloud too, because staff sign in there.

  • What does leave, and where it goes

    Codes go to SALLIE's cloud and, through it, to the AI model. A text to a family goes through your school's own Twilio account, which sees the family's number and the text while it is sent; the agent deletes the message body from Twilio after delivery.

  • The AI model never sees a name

    Staff can type “Jordan Lee is out sick today” (a made-up name). The model that reads it sees “P-7Q2KX4M3 is out sick today”. One piece of plain code swaps names for codes before any text reaches the model, and swaps them back after.

  • You can check it yourself

    The agent logs every message it sends to the cloud and every answer that comes back, each exactly as sent. Its proof page shows that ledger with a search, the count of readable names ever sent, and the latest daily leak test. Anyone on your network can open it, and no name is on it.

  • Your school holds the keys

    The signing key and the key that seals the names are made on your agent and stay there. SALLIE holds no key to your agent. A support session happens only if someone at your school turns it on at the machine and sets the password.

Questions

What happens when a game is rained out?

Open the game's page and press cancel or postpone. SALLIE shows a card with what will change and how many families will be texted. When you confirm, the game is marked, its transportation is freed, today's traveling athletes go back to their usual way home, and each affected family gets one text. If you change your mind, undo restores the game and texts the families to disregard.

Does SALLIE work with the tools we already use?

It is built to sit beside them. The season schedule comes in from a spreadsheet file or your scheduling service's calendar address, rosters load from files your student information system exports, and coaches can keep the stats or video service they like. SALLIE does not talk to the other school or its systems.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Coaches have a phone-sized page with their team's day, and staff can add SALLIE to a phone's home screen so that it opens like an app. Staff reach SALLIE on the school's network, at the address the school gives them.

Can parents or the public see anything?

Families do not sign in; they get texts. A public results page, with teams, opponents, dates and scores and no names, exists only if your school turns it on.

Do texts to families go out from the first day?

Not until your school connects its own Twilio account. Until then SALLIE sends no text: a change that needs one shows as not delivered, so the office calls the family.

How does SALLIE get our rosters?

From files your student information system exports: students with their grade, families with their phone, and classes and buses. A connection to PowerSchool through OneRoster exists and has been tested against a test server, not a live PowerSchool. Either way, the names are loaded onto your school's own machine.

What happens to our data if we stop using SALLIE?

The machine and what is on it are yours: the names, the keys and the records stay with you. Before you go, the agent's Export page builds a readable copy of your data on your own machine, with the names joined in. On request, we send you a codes-only export of your school's rows in the cloud and then delete them, along with your school's account.
