NOVA+ · The AI Continuity Layer for Education

The morning after a student misses three days,
NOVA+ has already prepared their catch-up.

NOVA+ is the connective layer between the systems your district already owns. It is designed to read attendance from your SIS and log every session, with SIS integration in active development, so it can trigger catch-up lessons, IDEA-compliant accommodation records, and ESSA interventions for the students every other platform leaves behind.

"Every student returning from an absence faces the same moment of integration. NOVA+ gives teachers a clear starting point and students a structured path back — built specifically for the transition no other platform addresses." — Jason Raddatz, Alternative Education Teacher & Founder
The Platform

Three tools. One connective layer.

NOVA+ sits alongside the systems your district already owns, reading attendance from your SIS (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus) and layering on top of your existing tools. No replacement required.

NOVA+ Administer

Enrollment intelligence, scheduling, and early-warning system — surfaces attendance patterns, flags at-risk students, and gives administrators the full operational picture.

How It Works

From absence to re-entry — automatically

1

Student goes absent

NOVA+ reads the attendance event from your SIS and responds to the absence itself — not just the return.

2

NOVA+ builds the catch-up

NOVA+ Teach + Learn generate a personalized catch-up lesson from the teacher's own notes — ready by the next morning, no teacher action required.

3

Every IEP logged

NOVA+ Access drafts an accommodation delivery record session by session, and the SPED coordinator confirms each one with one click. Audit-ready IDEA documentation, without the manual paperwork.

4

The student stays on your rolls

Re-engaged instead of dropped — the student keeps moving toward graduation, and the district keeps the per-pupil revenue that walks out the door with every disenrollment.

Who NOVA+ Serves

Built for the people the absence hits hardest

What That Moment Costs

When a student doesn't come back, it hits every ledger.

Michigan, 2023–24: about 3 in 4 chronically absent students are economically disadvantaged. NOVA+ starts here — with Michigan's alternative education programs — and grows through the region.
