For the adult who runs the program.
You are about to ask a classroom, a team, or a caseload to sign a student’s page. Your director or principal will have questions about what that is. Here are the plain answers, in the order they are usually asked, so you can forward this page instead of answering from memory.
What it is
A page is where a student keeps what they did, signed by the adults who were there to see it. Adding one thing takes about a minute on a phone. The same page prints out as an hours log, an activities list, or a transcript, whichever the student needs that day.
What a student enters
A student writes one sentence about one thing they did. They can add a photo or a link to it if they want, but neither is required, and nothing else is required either. Nothing a student enters is graded, ranked, or scored: there is no gradebook here and no comparison between one student and another.
What is collected and who holds it
A student’s items stay on the student’s own device until the student adds an email, which is the point at which the page starts keeping itself across devices. A signature carries the adult’s name and role, never the adult’s email on the page itself. A student can take any item back to private at any time, item by item, can export the whole page whenever they want, and can ask for the account and everything in it to be deleted, which completes within thirty days. The record belongs to the student, not to Eformogi and not to the program: a program that declares a course or a set of hours puts its name on that row, but it never owns the page and never keeps an exclusive copy.
Cost and advertising
The record is free for the student, forever: writing it, signing it, and printing it costs the student nothing. There are no ads anywhere in the product, and no part of it is marketed to a student directly. A parent may choose to pay for state paperwork rendered and filed on the family’s behalf, and a school or program may pay to issue courses or hours onto a roster, but neither of those charges ever reaches the student.
Age
Thirteen and up, a student holds their own page. Younger than thirteen, a page is held and managed by the parent; the child does not have an account of their own. The adults who sign a student’s items do so with their own name and role, through a link, without creating anything.
What the adult is asked to do
Open the link the student sends. Read the one sentence they wrote about what they did. Type your name and your role, and tap once to sign. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no password to set. If you would rather not sign, close the page: nothing happens, and nobody is told. An ask that goes unanswered stays unanswered; there is no follow-up.
Who is behind it
Eformogi, Inc. is a Delaware company doing business in New York. It was built by a school counselor with twenty years in New York public schools, Marcus Siotkas, whose own account of why is at /story. Anything this page does not answer can go to hello@eformogi.com.
The signer’s door has the one line to hand a single student their own page.
