Start picture day
The school keeps control, and a share of the revenue
Private School Photos is built so the school — not an outside vendor — stays the controller of its students’ images. The roster, the consent records, and the portrait files stay on a per-school tenant. The school sets its own catalog and pricing on the order rails rather than accepting a fixed vendor package.
The program is free to run: no contract is required and there is no minimum order to start a picture day. A school that wants to try the program for one grade or one season can do so without a multi-year commitment.
The order rails carry a revenue share back to the school on each sale. The order flow and the school’s catalog are built today; the live payment leg that actually charges a family’s card is early access. No card is charged today, and we say so plainly rather than presenting an in-progress payment rail as live.
What is built and what is honest-off
The capture pipeline, the roster import, the roster-lookup find-my-child (no biometric template), the consent gate (not turned on in the software we run, opt-in, withdrawable), the private tenant-isolated family galleries, and the directory, ID-card, team-composite, and memory-mate products with fail-closed print preflight are built and running today. Press-ready output routes to the school’s own lab today, with delivery tracking on a placed order. Scoped staff roles, per-school tenant isolation, and the single-school FERPA privacy wall are enforced at the data layer today. The program is free to run: no contract and no minimum order. The parent order rails and the school’s own catalog and pricing are built; the live payment rail that charges a family’s card is early access — no card is charged today, and we say so plainly. Photos and any face data are never sent to an outside AI or photo company; processing runs on our own private system. No competitor brand names appear here. Private School Photos is part of the same parent platform as homeroom.software, sharing one roster and consent substrate underneath.
