SunriseHours is the system of record for high-school internship and career programs. Students log hours on their phones, supervisors verify with one tap, and coordinators start each day knowing exactly who needs them.
Built in Ohio for the state's 250-hour graduation option. Free pilot through June 30, 2027 for founding Ohio programs; no purchase order, no automatic renewal.
A student logging a day, a supervisor verifying a week, a coordinator's morning, and the Ohio graduation view. Real screens, with sample data from a fictional Ohio county.
Four people, four screens, one record. Each sees only what their role needs.
Before first period, the dashboard has already sorted the day: who is behind on logging, which exemption requests are waiting, whose hours need a supervisor, which reflections are late. Each line opens the list behind it.
Every student's record is one click away, with the goal, the calendar, notes, messages, and every change on the audit trail.
On their own phone, a student sees how far they've come this term, whether they're on pace, and one button for the day they still need to log. Tap, type the hours, save. About fifteen seconds.
Nothing to install, and it works on a school Chromebook too.
Employer supervisors get one card per student with the week's hours. One tap verifies the week. If a day is wrong, they say why, and the coordinator decides.
Supervisors see a student only once that placement's training agreement is on file.
If the school turns it on, a parent or guardian sees their own student's progress: hours, pace, the last two weeks, the placement and supervisor. Read only. Never messages or notes.
Click the highlighted spots to walk through the coordinator's side. Sample data from a fictional Ohio county.
Ohio counts 250 hours of work-based learning with positive employer evaluations toward graduation (ORC 3313.618). SunriseHours keeps that count for every student, across every year.
Bring students in from your student information system: OneRoster files or API (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, ProgressBook and DASL exports, ClassLink Roster Server) or a simple spreadsheet. Every import shows a preview before anything changes, and students who leave are archived, never deleted.
Students and staff sign in with the school Google, Microsoft or ClassLink account they already have. Accounts link only through your district's own domain or tenant, never by email alone.
Every report as Excel and PDF, a complete record PDF for any student, and a ZIP of everything your program holds whenever you want it.
One price per program per year, on the Ohio fiscal year. You pay only for students in work-based learning, not every enrolled student. Every plan includes every feature.

Founding Ohio programs: a free pilot through June 30, 2027, with no automatic renewal. If you then subscribe, your price is locked for three years.
I'm Robert Spath. I live in Ohio, and I built SunriseHours with a working Ohio high school career program, one coordinator request at a time. I do the setup and the support myself.
SunriseHours is new. If you start a pilot, you'd be one of the first programs to use it, and I'll treat it that way: I'll set up your schools, terms and placements with you, and you'll have my email and phone.

Suites like Xello, SchooLinks or Naviance are priced on every enrolled student and cover many things. SunriseHours does one job, work-based learning hours, and you pay only for the students in it. Many programs still run hours on paper beside a suite; this replaces the paper.
A form collects entries. It doesn't know who should have logged today, can't get a supervisor's verification, doesn't add up 250 hours across years, and doesn't produce the EMIS codes. And student data in a personal form isn't covered by a data privacy agreement.
SunriseHours works in any browser, including a school Chromebook or a library computer. Coordinators can also enter hours for a student.
Usually an afternoon. We add your schools and terms together, import students from your student information system or a spreadsheet, and invite supervisors. District sign-in can be turned on whenever your IT team is ready.
In the United States, with a hosting provider that encrypts it at rest and in transit. It's never sold, and you can export or delete it at any time.
It's built to WCAG 2.1 AA as a target, with text-size, contrast and color-blind symbol options for every person, and a typeface designed for low-vision readers. Ask for the accessibility statement.
Nothing automatic. If you want to keep going, you subscribe at the founding price, locked for three years. If not, you take your data and we destroy ours, with a certificate.
Tell me about your program, and I'll set up a pilot with your placements.
