Fourth Grade Software: features, marked honestly
Every capability that matters at Fourth Grade, each marked honestly as shipped or early-access — and the real concerns and milestones each one answers.
One grade's view of the same K–12 platform. The plain-language module catalog front door is at schoolsoftware.app; the flagship platform home is at homeroom.software.
What leads at Fourth Grade, and why
The platform is one system across all thirteen grades, but the capabilities that MATTER shift by grade. These are the ones that lead here, in order, each marked honestly as shipped or early-access.
Gradebook of record
By fourth grade the gradebook carries multiple subjects with weighted categories a parent reads across a term. Shipped
Standards-based grading
Standards proficiency shows growth against the framework year over year -- the second data point after third grade's baseline. Shipped
Academic-integrity audit trail
As grades matter more, an honest, append-only record of any grade change (who/from/to/reason/approver) protects the fairness a fourth grader is old enough to notice. Shipped
Report cards
A full multi-subject report card generated from the record. Shipped
Coverage-gap report
Field trips, science fair, and class projects; the coverage-gap report keeps every child represented. Shipped
What a family, a teacher, and a student are actually watching
The concerns of this year are specific to it — not a template with the age swapped. At Fourth Grade the real questions are:
- Analytical, multi-paragraph writing and the first research assignments.
- Long division, multi-digit multiplication, equivalent fractions.
- Growing academic independence and organization across subjects.
- Standardized testing now a known annual event, with year-over-year growth watched.
- Social dynamics and the first sense of academic strengths and struggles.
Milestones of the Fourth Grade year
The developmental and academic markers this year is built around — distinct to this grade, not a shared checklist.
- Writes a structured multi-paragraph piece with evidence.
- Masters long division and multi-digit multiplication.
- Completes a first independent research project.
- Shows measurable year-over-year growth on the state assessment.
Common questions
Can a grade be changed, and is that tracked?
Yes -- and every after-the-fact grade change lands in an append-only audit log: who changed it, from what, to what, the reason code, and the approver for a significant change. A correction is a new row; the original is never altered.
Does fourth grade track growth over time?
Standards-based proficiency records the child's level against the framework each term, so fourth grade's result reads against third grade's baseline honestly.

What is built and what is honest-off
Live payment rails — checkout and any card charge — are founder-gated: no card is charged on these pages. The platform is SIS-adjacent: it imports the roster and reads against it, and the school keeps the authoritative enrollment record in its existing system. There is no AI over grade records — grades are recorded and projected deterministically, never inferred. Mailed report cards are honest early-access: the print-ready generation is built, and the postal send is the early-access step, named plainly. The school stays the FERPA custodian, and a rep-scoped session reads zero grade rows at the database engine. No competitor brand names appear here. Money, pricing, and checkout are not on this page.
