SchoolMint Hero
Managing student behavior and attendance shouldn’t take teachers away from teaching or students away from learning. SchoolMint Hero makes it easier for schools and districts to promote positive behavior, reduce tardiness, and build a culture where every student feels seen and supported.
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about how SchoolMint Hero works, who it’s for, and what makes it so effective.
SchoolMint Hero is a K-12 behavior management and attendance tracking platform that helps schools and districts create a positive, consistent, and equitable learning environment. It combines automation, positive reinforcement, and real-time data to transform school culture.
SchoolMint Hero digitizes your school’s behavior and attendance processes. Teachers and staff record behaviors or tardies in seconds, assign points or disciplinary actions, and automatically communicate with parents. The platform tracks every interaction, helping schools monitor trends and reinforce positive behavior schoolwide.
Hero is used by public school districts, charter networks, and individual schools across the country, ranging from large urban systems to small rural campuses. It’s designed to scale from a single school to multi-site implementations.
Unlike classroom-only apps, Hero unites your entire school or district under one consistent behavior plan. Everyone — administrators, teachers, and staff — works from the same system and is united under the same campus-wide expectations.
SchoolMint Hero is built for and meant to be used by your whole school community: administrators, teachers, parents/guardians, and students themselves.
SchoolMint Hero eliminates the manual, inconsistent, and time-consuming parts of managing attendance and behavior. It helps schools reduce tardies, improve student engagement, and replace punitive systems with positive reinforcement.
Most classroom apps focus on individual teachers or simple point systems. Hero connects every classroom, office, and hallway under one platform, ensuring fairness, accountability, and real-time visibility across your entire campus.
SchoolMint Hero shifts the focus from punishment to positive reinforcement. By celebrating good choices, providing consistent expectations, and keeping families informed, Hero helps build trust between students and adults, leading to measurable improvements in school climate.
SchoolMint Hero has been helping schools improve attendance and student behavior for more than 20 years and is trusted by districts and charter networks nationwide.
