 Educator Testimonials

“One of the things we really appreciate about LightSail is a true willingness to work with our staff. They are helpful and professional, and when it comes to tech troubleshooting, they are always on the line for support and to find out answers. That’s rare when working with school partners.”Christopher J. Pellettieri, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum & Instruction, Rockville Centre Union Free School District, Rockville Centre, NY

“The LightSail support team has changed the way I deal with technology in the classroom. From day one, tech support has given me an option of calling directly and speaking with someone very knowledgeable about the application and student needs, which makes my job as an educator easier and less stressful. I love LightSail customer support because I can have real conversations with people who put students first and teachers first with the product.” Desiree Saguilla, Teacher, Evergreen Public Schools, Vancouver, WA
