How it works

ParaFlowTool turns daily para scheduling from a spreadsheet scramble into a board your whole team can see. Build the day, mark someone out, and know instantly which students lose support — and who can cover.

Build your daily board

  • Set up your paras, students, and support blocks once
  • Each day projects from your master schedule, ready to adjust
  • Paste your existing grid from Excel or Sheets to start in minutes

See who's uncovered, instantly

  • Mark a para out and the board shows exactly who loses support that day
  • Counted per open job — a group with the para out is one uncovered block, same as a 1:1
  • Filter to just the uncovered blocks when the day gets busy

Coverage suggestions when someone's out

  • ParaFlowTool proposes who can cover — first choice, then backups, then anyone free
  • It only suggests; nothing changes until you apply it
  • Fill an uncovered block in seconds instead of rebuilding the schedule

One board the whole team shares

  • Coordinators, paras, and administrators see the same live schedule
  • Changes show up the moment staffing shifts mid-day
  • Print any para's day for a clean hand-off to a sub

Two ways to run it

Classroom is for a single teacher managing their own paras. School is for a whole team, with unlimited paras and students. Every plan’s first month is free — and you can try the whole thing with no login first.
