How it works

From setup to screening in three simple steps

Everything is handled by Maro, not added to your plate.

  1. 01

    Collect consent from parents, digitally

    Maro sends plain-English consent forms to every family, tracks who has responded, and makes sure no student is screened without the right permissions in place.

  2. 02

    Screen students with validated surveys

    Students complete validated screeners (like the PHQ-9 for depression) online using any school device. No paper, no manual tracking, no coordination headaches.

  3. 03

    Analyze results and connect students to care

    Instantly see which students need follow-up, pull school and district-level reports, and refer students to care. Parent communication is built in the whole way through.

The platform

White-glove onboarding

Your team doesn't have to figure it out alone. We set up your screeners and configure everything to get started, then train your faculty so everyone is ready before screening day.

For families

Some parents will have questions. Here's how Maro prepares you.

Consent

“Did I agree to this?”

Every family receives a plain-English consent form before screening begins. Maro tracks every response, timestamps every submission, and gives your school a full audit trail.

Privacy

“Who sees my child's data?”

Student data is encrypted and stored securely, with strict permissions so it's only viewed in-platform by authorized school personnel. Maro is fully SOPPA and COPPA compliant.

Opting out

“Can I say no?”

Absolutely. Parents can opt their child out at any time through a digital consent form. Maro makes opting out as easy as opting in.

Follow-up

“What happens if my child screens at-risk?”

No student is flagged without a follow-up plan. Maro documents every referral, helps schools notify parents through the platform, and connects families to support.
