Jupiter combines a Learning Management System and Student Information System for public K–12 schools, from small charter schools to districts with hundreds of thousands of students. Its gradebook lets teachers manage homework, tests, and essays, with grading by points, percentages, letter grades, or rubrics and several entry methods. It supports online file submission and grading, Google Drive and Dropbox imports, Paste Blocker, Lockdown, and writing on PDFs and images. Integrations include Google Classroom LTI, Clever, and hundreds of learning apps. Jupiter can synchronize students, staff, courses, sections, and rosters nightly with third-party SIS platforms. Access is available through Android, iPhone, and iPad apps, and through browsers on Chromebook, Mac, and Windows without plug-ins. Jupiter states that it encrypts data in transit and at rest, is FERPA compliant, supports two-factor authentication and role-based restrictions, and backs up servers nightly off-site. Pricing is available on request; there is no free plan, but a free trial is offered. Scheduler, Enrollment, Payments, and State Reporting are optional upgrades.
