Inside the Innovation Loop: Customer-Led Innovation in Sparkrock Ed

Sparkrock Ed evolves through an ongoing loop of feedback, development, release, and learning—guided by the districts that use it every day.

This live webinar brings together K–12 education leaders and operational teams from across Canada for a shared, province-aware view of what’s new, what’s coming, and how customer input shapes the platform.

Join us for a practical walkthrough of recent platform updates, insights gathered from districts across Canada, and a transparent look at Sparkrock Ed’s roadmap and co-design approach.

Before, we had to send a piece of paper home and then get a big stack back on your desk. Now, staff can just open it up, go through it, and download the PDF. They don’t have to scan or track anything manually.

With the help of Sparkrock we have revamped our budgeting process. Tasks that used to take days to complete now only take hours. The difference is truly amazing. We got our weekends back!

Waterloo Catholic District School Board

Technology should enable learning, not be a barrier. Sparkrock helped us make sure our systems supported every student, every day. The difference was the relationship. When we had a question or a need, we could pick up the phone and know the answer wasn't "no"—it was "let's figure it out together."

Livingstone Range School Division
I like that the teachers can go into School-Day and send notifications and communicate with their class through there. That was a big win for us because that was something we were lacking.

The investment over time is really important to us because ERPs are not short-term endeavours. They are long-term relationships. We’ll be using Sparkrock well beyond my time in this organization.

Jon Rever
Assistant Superintendent of Schools
School District 23

The system was so user-friendly and easy to follow that even doing the migration didn't require much training. We did our training in January 2024, just after the holidays, and it only took one hour before the teams were up and running. We've since received emails from secretaries and office staff about how intuitive everything is now.
