Apollo

What Apollo is

Apollo is a web platform for K-12 school districts that combines a student information system with child nutrition software. Districts can select only the modules they need, and the Child Nutrition product can integrate with any SIS. Apollo Essentials includes enrollment, scheduling, gradebook, attendance, compliance, community, reporting, health, and student records. A unified student view can bring together academic, transcript, benefits, incident, program, and medical records according to permissions. Administrators can set roles, workflows, policies, dropdowns, and custom fields. Nutrition tools cover benefits applications, menu planning, inventory, point of service, and central kitchen operations. Data exchange supports SFTP, custom APIs, and Apollo-built EdTech integrations with automated flows. Apollo lists support for FERPA, COPPA, and HIPAA compliance. Apollo Essentials costs $12 a year, billed per student per year; mastery-based grading adds $3 per student.
