School Loop is an online application for Middle and High school students and parents to communicate with their teachers, as an alternative to e-mail. It allows staff to access each student’s workload and grades and provides digital lockers to store and share files. Assignments and grades may be emailed home each day.

History
School Loop was created by Mark Gross, a school teacher and parent, together with Tom Burns, an engineer.
Features
Schools and teachers can post homework for students, school announcements, and downloads. Teachers can have a website inside School Loop, where they can post class-specific information. Students can look up their homework, grades and e-mail their teachers. The system provides a calendar system for assignment due-dates. Students can also store files in a digital locker for later use. Groups can be formed by students with the permission of a teacher or a staff member. Parents can sign up to keep track of their child's progress and check homework, assignments and grades.

School Loop maintains an internal email system, "LoopMail". Users can send e-mail only to other School Loop users. Students receive an email daily which shows the student's current grades and homework. If a user LoopMails another user, the LoopMail is sent to both the LoopMail inbox and the recipient's regular e-mail inbox. The LoopMail system contains an anti-profanity filter, though this can still be bypassed by using internet slang.
Participating Schools
Approximately 220 schools use School Loop as their homework-online service.[1]
