School Loop is an online application that allows elementary school, middle school and high school students to view their grades online and communicate with teachers. It allows staff to upload a student's grades onto the Internet for immediate viewing. Current assignments and files may also be posted on School Loop, and a feature known as "drop box" allows students to electronically submit their work.
School Loop was created by Mark Gross, a school teacher and parent, together with Tom Burns, an engineer, as a tool used for grades and to check homework.
School Loop maintains an internal email system, "LoopMail". Users can send e-mail to other School Loop users. If a user sends a LoopMail message to another user, the LoopMail is sent to the recipient's inbox and the recipient receives a notification in their regular e-mail inbox.
