My Classroom Assistant

Where your students’ data lives

The whole privacy promise on one page: the AI never sees a single student record. That guarantee comes from where the data lives, not from the AI promising to be careful.

On your laptop

Student data never leaves here

  • Gradebook & roster (names, grades)
  • Offline tools: AI Export, Progress Cards, Parent Messages
  • Runs in your browser — no internet, no cloud

Claude (Cowork)

Sees only name-free summaries

  • Drafts slides, notes, templates
  • Reads aggregate counts, never records
  • You review everything before students see it
Only this crosses the line: “3 students behind on Unit 3” “Maria — 4 missing”

What crosses the line

Aggregate counts (“6 strong, 3 struggling”) and content with no student data in it — a slide, a message template.

What never crosses

Names, individual grades, rosters, per-student missing-work lists. The tools that handle those stay on the laptop.

Why it’s built this way

FERPA and state laws treat student records carefully, and once data passes through an AI you can’t unring that bell. So it never does.

A human is always in the loop

The AI drafts; the teacher reviews and decides. There is no “send” button — nothing reaches a student without a teacher’s read.

My Classroom Assistant · a classroom AI that works for your class without ever seeing your students’ data. See setup/permissions/privacy-explainer.md for the long version.
