Heronix Suite
One integrated on-premise platform for school and district operations: student records, messaging, single sign-on, substitute management, parent and teacher portals, and reporting — under one perpetual license. Runs entirely inside your network.
Runs on your infrastructure
On-premise deployment. No required cloud connectivity. Your district controls uptime, patches, and upgrade timing.
Perpetual license, one package
One license covers every module in Suite. No per-student-per-year subscription. No surprise renewals.
Guardian tokenization built in
Student PII is tokenized before it crosses the network perimeter. Every Suite module inherits the same privacy architecture.
What's inside Suite
Each module is built to work as part of Suite — not sold separately. Honest status on each.

Platform & Security
Suite works alongside Heronix PassTrack
Districts that adopt PassTrack don't need to wait for Suite. PassTrack is designed to plug into any SIS — including Suite when it ships, Skyward, PowerSchool, or any roster source you already use.
When Suite ships, existing PassTrack deployments connect to Suite's roster with no data migration. Guardian tokenization is shared across both.
Guardian is the architecture beneath Suite
Every Suite module tokenizes student PII at the perimeter before any data crosses the network boundary. Each external integration gets unique, per-vendor tokens. Guardian is not an add-on — it's how Suite handles student data by default.
Want to be in the room when Suite ships?
Heronix Suite is launching module by module across 2027–2028. Districts can join the design feedback list to shape what the first modules look like.
