Overcoming age-old challenges
What high usage shows
"The amount of sessions I see happen on weekends and beyond school hours—it shows us that we're providing a tool that students are accessing all the time, and when they need it.
That's something I believe is a big step forward in terms of equity. Covid or not, the needs for something like this have been there."

What high usage shows
Top-notch educator support
"The level of support that Paper gives is really top-notch. They've been meeting with each of our principals to talk on a regular basis about how the implementations are going. They've done trainings at each of the schools.
Paper makes it easy on the teacher end—it's not a burden on teachers at all."
