Notis vs Scholva Behavior & Discipline

Notis is a school communications and engagement app for schools and districts, designed to support PBIS/MTSS and Tier 1 behavior interventions. It connects students, teachers, parents and administrators through announcements, newsletters, reminders, live feeds and parent communication. Schools can award points for activities and achievements, then let students redeem them for school-selected prizes. Students can check in to events using geofencing and earn points. Other tools include group chats, polls and surveys, club management, and teacher-parent scheduling. Schools approve users, can remove them through a dashboard, and control which features and content are enabled. Private messaging is limited to users with a reason to contact each other, such as a shared team or class partnership. Schools may opt into business advertising and keep 70% of its revenue, or arrange for a business to sponsor the subscription. Notis is available on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing is not published; schools are directed to schedule a demo. The maker says its work on Notis began in 2013 and is based in Sandy, Utah.

Scholva Behavior & Discipline helps schools document behavior incidents, move cases through resolution, and identify patterns in student conduct. Teachers can record a student, witnesses, severity, and evidence in under two minutes. Staff can investigate, assign, and track cases, then close them with resolution steps and deadlines. A student's positive and negative conduct history appears together, alongside tools for recognizing positive behavior and awarding points linked to gamification. Listed interventions include improvement plans, counseling referrals, suspension and expulsion records, PBIS-compatible practices, and staff training logs. Schools can configure parent notifications by severity, from weekly batches for minor incidents to immediate alerts for serious ones. Behavior records connect with Scholva's Academics, parent Portals, and Analytics modules. The product is built for K-12 schools, colleges, and coaching institutes, and runs on Android, iOS, and the web. A free plan covers up to 200 students and is listed at free; a free trial is also available. Scholva says it uses AES-256 for stored data and TLS 1.3 for connections, with role-based access and audit trails.
