We believe K‑12 should have access to premium software at affordable prices. We have done these jobs ourselves, and every BONDWOOD product exists because one of us needed it at our own desk. It is software for K‑12 and nothing else.

So the pricing is simple. Every product is $1 per student.*

The commitment is simple too. Every product comes with a six-month, fully cancelable contract period. We are extremely confident you will love our products. If one isn't the right fit, you may cancel at any point in those six months with no penalty and no further obligation.

$1per student, for each product*
6 monthsfully cancelable, with no penalty

* Benchmarking is offered at a reduced price and is currently available for Minnesota districts only. Student counts are based on average daily membership.

Eight products.
One business office.

Use one or use them together. They share the same sign-in, the same departments and budget codes, and the same record of who did what.

Payments

One system
for all of it.

Requisitions, POs, invoices, quotes, contracts, mileage, deposits, timesheets, p-cards, and expense reimbursements. BONDWOOD Payments already knows how your district works, does the data entry for your staff, and builds the audit record as it goes.
