Frequently asked questions

Managira is an all-in-one school management platform - admissions, attendance, grading and report cards, promotion, billing, transportation, staff management, and parent/guardian communication all run from one system, for individual schools and school districts alike, instead of stitching together separate tools for each job.

All-in-one, by design. Admissions, student and guardian records, attendance, assessments and grading, report cards and merit sheets, promotion between terms, staff/employee management, school transportation, billing, announcements, the public school website, and Docs/Sheets are all part of the same platform - a school runs its full administration in Managira rather than combining it with separate, disconnected tools.

K-12 schools and districts: administrators, teachers and office staff, plus parents and students through their own portals. Districts and school networks oversee their schools from a Hub.

Choose a plan on the pricing page, then create your school's account. A short setup checklist walks you through your school year, classes and staff, and the Getting started guides in the Documentation cover each step.

Managira puts the whole school in one system: admissions, records, attendance, grading and report cards, promotion, staff permissions, fee collection (PayGira), transportation with live bus tracking, parent and student portals, messaging by email, SMS and WhatsApp, a school website, and Mira, an AI assistant that carries out tasks on the school's own data within each person's permissions. It is priced per school by student count, accepts online card payments, and supports districts and school networks through Hubs.

Yes. Managira is a K-12 student information system built for public, private and charter schools and districts in the United States: student information, teaching and learning, family engagement, business operations, transportation and analytics in one place. Families pay online by card, schools text parents through their own Twilio account, and everything runs in any web browser, including on phones.

Yes. Managira has US pricing, card payments through Stripe, text messages through Twilio, Google Classroom, Google Calendar and Outlook integrations, and transcripts and report cards that can be printed or emailed.

Mira is Managira's built-in AI assistant for school staff. It looks up records, drafts messages, generates reports, and carries out real school-management actions - creating students, managing enrollment, scheduling promotions, and more - through plain-language conversation, entirely inside the Managira platform.

Mira covers admissions and student records, attendance, assessments and grading, report cards and merit sheets, enrollment, promotion, employees, transportation, announcements, the school website, and Docs/Sheets - both looking things up and making real changes, not just answering questions about the app.

Every action Mira takes runs through the same real, per-user permission checks as the Managira app itself - never guessed from a role name alone - and is scoped strictly to the caller's own school. Every change Mira makes is recorded in the school's Activity Logs, tagged as done via Mira, so nothing happens invisibly.

No. Any destructive or irreversible action - deleting a student, removing an enrollment, deleting a class - always warns first and only proceeds after the user's explicit confirmation in a later message. Creating or adding non-destructive records happens directly once all the needed details are known.

Mira isn't a generic chatbot bolted onto Managira - it's built directly into the platform with real, working access to a school's own live data and the same account permissions each staff member already has, so it can actually complete school-administration tasks (not just describe how to do them) inside the tool the school already uses every day.

Yes. Mira spans Admissions, Students & Guardians, Attendance, Assessments & Report Cards, Enrollment & Promotion, Employees, Transportation, Announcements, the public School Website, and Docs/Sheets - one assistant across the whole platform rather than a narrow single-feature bot.

Activate Mira from Integrations once your school is set up in Managira, or contact Managira to see it first via a live demo.

Managira includes Mira, an AI assistant built into the platform. Staff ask in plain language and Mira does the work on the school's live data, such as adding students, managing enrollment and promotion, and producing and emailing report cards. It only does what the staff member is allowed to do, records every change in the activity log, and asks before anything irreversible.

Yes. Each staff member gets their own permissions, so you decide exactly who can view or edit student records.

Yes. Add your logo, choose your school's colors and font, and publish a school website in your own style.

Open the class, select Attendance, mark each student and save. Parents see it in the parent portal.

Parents sign in to the parent portal to see each child's grades, report cards, attendance, bills and school bus, all under one login.

Yes. With PayGira, schools create bills for classes or individual students, and parents pay online by card through Stripe. Payments go to the school's own payout account, receipts are issued automatically, and staff can track what is paid and what is outstanding.

A Hub lets one organization - a school district, a network of schools, or an education oversight body - manage and support multiple member schools from a single central workspace, while each school keeps running its own day-to-day operations independently.

Yes. Managira is built for individual schools as well as school districts and multi-school networks - a district oversight team can supervise, support, and coordinate every member school from one Hub dashboard, without taking over each school's own daily administration.

Yes. A district's Hub dashboard gives central visibility across every member school - coordinating operations and oversight district-wide - while each school retains its own independent records, staff, and students.

Yes. In hub-managed setups - including school districts - billing can be controlled centrally across every member school from the Hub.

Yes. Hubs let a school district or network oversee many member schools from one place, including central billing, while each school keeps its own staff, students and records.

Yes. All traffic uses HTTPS, and each school's data is kept separate so staff and parents only see their own school. Every staff account has individually granted permissions, sessions end after inactivity, sending messages to families requires the sender's password, and staff actions are recorded in the school's activity log. Card payments are processed by Stripe, and Managira never stores full card numbers.
