A Kindness Grid product
The kindness companion for K-12 school communities.
Kindness Schools gives every student, teacher, and parent one daily practice: notice someone, do something small, and watch it add up across the whole school.
What it is
A school runs on thousands of small interactions a day. Most of the kind ones go unnoticed, and most of the unkind ones get all the attention. Kindness Schools flips that ratio on purpose.
Students
A daily kindness streak
One small suggested act a day - sit with someone new at lunch, thank a custodian by name, help a classmate study. Students log what they did and keep a streak, like a reading log for being decent to each other.
Teachers
Two minutes, not a curriculum
A morning prompt for the classroom and a Friday wrap-up the teacher can read in two minutes. No lesson planning, no grading - the product does the lifting.
Families
The conversation at home
Parents see what their child did this week and get one suggested family act for the weekend. Kindness stops being a school assembly topic and becomes a dinner-table one.
How it works
Three loops, all running on the same engine.
Daily
Notice, act, log
Each morning every student gets one age-appropriate act. Younger kids draw or tap what they did; older students write a line. Thirty seconds, done during homeroom.
Weekly
Classrooms climb together
Acts roll up to the classroom, not just the child. A fifth-grade class can see it out-kind the sixth graders this week - cooperation first, friendly competition second.
Termly
The school sees its culture
Acts by theme - inclusion, gratitude, helping, repair after conflict. Principals finally get a number for the thing assemblies talk about, and can see which grades need a nudge.
What the school sees
A dashboard built for a principal with ten minutes between meetings.
- Participation by grade and classroom - who is in the habit, who needs a quieter on-ramp.
- Themes of the week - what kinds of kindness are actually happening, in the students' own words.
- Repair moments - conflicts that ended with a logged make-up act, visible without naming children.
- Family reach - how many homes saw a weekly summary, the school's bridge to parents.
- Safeguarding first: no public child profiles, no rankings of individual children, teacher review on anything flagged.
