The Backpack app was created by parents for parents.<\/h1>\n

Backpack was created by parents and learner’s who felt there had to be a better way to store and manage their children’s educational achievements. The idea of backpack is the combined influence of parents and healthcare. Current student information systems are too rigid. They don’t track historical performance, they don’t include accomplishments, achievements or extracurricular activities. They can’t be accessed by colleges, universities or trade schools. They are not portable. They can’t be shared. And most importantly, they don’t belong to the learners or parents. Much like a health record or credit score, your backpack personal education record\u2122 is as unique and individual as your fingerprint.<\/p>\n
