Questions teachers ask before signup

Answers about local-first data, SIS/LMS fit, automation, reassessment, backups, subscription, and account, backup, and support boundaries.

Is Tabora a replacement for my school SIS or LMS?

No. It is a classroom workflow layer that works alongside official systems. Official grades, attendance, compliance records, and district-required communication remain governed by school policy.

What does local-first mean?

The core classroom workflow is designed so teacher classroom records can remain on the teacher's device by default instead of being stored in a central student-data cloud.

Does local-first create backup responsibility?

Yes. Teachers need a clear backup routine. This site includes backup guidance because local control does not eliminate the risk of device loss or file corruption.

Can Tabora automate missing-work emails?

Tabora supports drafts, queues, and recommendations while the teacher remains responsible for approval, tone, accuracy, and compliance with school communication rules.

How does reassessment tracking work?

The intended workflow is that failed assessments create a tracker item, students complete relearning evidence, and the teacher documents readiness before a retake.

What is the role of the support guide?

Tabora Guide answers routine questions when possible and helps create a support request for high-impact issues such as paid-user lockout or possible data loss.

Can I try it without real student information?

Yes. The live demo uses sample classroom data and avoids real student information.

How does everything stay connected?

The website, account tools, desktop app, download access, billing, and support are designed to work as one account-managed product path.

How long is the Pro trial?

Every new Tabora account starts with a 14-day Pro trial. If you were referred by another teacher using their referral link, your trial is extended to 30 days.

What happens when my trial ends?

At the end of the trial, the account moves to the Free plan. Core planning and local classroom organization remain available. Pro workflow features require upgrading to a paid plan.

Website, account, and desktop stay connected.

The website explains the product, while account tools manage login, billing, support, downloads, access, and account history for the desktop app.
