Our mission

Helios Tech's mission is to enable the educational community deal with the vast reservoir of information and workload by combining efficient technology with knowledge of school district administration and thus enable educators and administrators focus on what they do best - education.

We envision a world where educators have the latest tools that help them achieve results without getting bogged down by legal and administrative requirements.


A little background of how Helios came into being 

Developers of Helios experienced the facets and problems with district administration first hand. The Helios team concluded that mandatory as well as administrative requirements keep district administrators craving for NCLB and numerous reports; principals need information for creating staff rosters and assignments while HR staff scramble to provide all this data and reports to administrators.

The scramble is in part been due to requirements laid out by NCLB, Williams legislation and county mandated reports, apart from the ongoing need to keep track of teachers and staff and use all this information to efficient decision-making.

There has been a perceptible inadequacy in the current systems to track information on human resources. The student information systems in vogue could tell schools something about the students but nothing that could tell them how to make these students improve their performance by planning effectively, based on the right information about their teachers and paraprofessionals. There has been a BIG time need for a comprehensive tool that principals could use to make decisions, say, about staff assignments or track their teachers' highly qualified status.

Team Helios was thus highly motivated to usher in a dedicated research project that led to a comprehensive system to fill this void. A system that could help administrators make decisions - decisions that would directly impact student performance; and create reports that would help them meet NCLB and other requirements.

The ability to meet with these requirements by using software tools greatly reduces the burden on administrators, leaving them with even more space and enthusiasm to improve student achievement. End result: students benefit and schools progress.
