Features
Why Pluto is “a dream come true” and “the best thing since sliced bread” — according to the schools that use it.
Simplifies a complex process
It takes just 15-20 minutes for each teacher to add the relevant information about their students, (you can even add in parent requests if you’d like ) then you simply hit ‘Go’ and Pluto populates your class lists!
Flags potential problems & minimizes mistakes
Once your class lists are created, Pluto will ‘flag’ any potential issues, allowing you to make final tweaks using your own judgement and teacher intuition.
Easy to update class lists
If you need to make a last-minute change, Pluto will flag any problems with the updated class(es), so you can rectify them. Plus, you can use our software for new enrolments, to make sure they’re placed in the right spot.
Complete customization
You choose the criteria based on what matters to you, whether it be ethnic diversity, gender, friendships, or academic skills. Be confident you have a good learning environment for every student, according to your definition of ‘good’.
Taps into your knowledge
Teachers add their insights on a digital “card” for each student. Then Pluto does the hard work of considering all the possibilities — making the class creation process easy, efficient, and stress free!
Protects students privacy
Pluto is a secure, cloud-based platform. Sensitive student information is not shared on an open forum. No more stray Post-It notes with private information accidentally dropped on the floor.
