ClassJump Closing Down

posted: March 1, 2016
ClassJump.com which has been a non-profit public charity since 2010 will no longer be operating as a free resource for teachers and students as of April 1, 2016.

That's the hardest thing I've ever had to write, but write it I must.

Thank you for believing in what two guys tried to do all by themselves

Over the last six years, we've scrapped and clawed our way to raising the money to keep this  web server paid for. We had a good run and believe we've provided as good a service as two guys with two computers could possibly offer.  While we did the best we could, sometimes the best one can do simply isn't good enough and the decision to terminate services is a very sad, but necessary one .

As many of you may know, over the course of the last six years, I've never received a single dollar of compensation for keeping this beloved site operating. Just today in fact, I made a significant personal contribution to ClassJump, Inc so that the server will remain operational through the end of this month. I was happy to make this final contribution which pays for the site to remain open for a final month so that teachers can have the time to seek out new ways to communicate with their students and parents.

Thank you for all your kind words over the years. It's what's kept us going.

With many great memories,

Robert Zimmerman
Executive Director

This makes me incredibly sad. Class Jump is the easiest school website I have ever used.
That being said, do you have any suggestions on other websites?
Sincerely, and with gratitude,

My name is Michael Williams. I am a senior that is preparing for graduation in May this year. I want to say thank you for the services you have given to us (students and teachers) for the past six years. I am pretty saddened to see that this website will no longer be available in April. Classjump has helped me get assignments when I missed a day or two and kept me informed of scholarships. Thank you a lot. I hope that you will continue to do great things for students and teacher like you have already done for us.

Thank you for the hard work that you have put into this site. Is there a possibility that you could offer subscriptions through the end of the year to keep the site running? We have only used ClassJump for a few months and we have loved it! Please let us know if anything changes.

Thank you,

I AM SO SAD!!!!!! I LOVE ClassJump and finally have most of my parents trained to check it. What about converting it to a paid site, I would gladly pay to use it and have contributed in the past. I've searched for other sites and nothing compares to ClassJump.
Thank you for your service.
Sincerely, a heart-broken third-grade teacher,
Ana

Thank you so much for providing your service. I found it valuable and easy to use. I am now scrambling to find a similar site to use. Thanks again.
Stacy March 1, 2016
Sorry to hear this.

I see you are asking for donations. Would that change things? I'm happy to donate to keep it going. Can you maybe say if you get a certain amount it will last at least until the end of the school year? The timing is pretty bad for most teachers. Why don't you just make it a for-pay site?

I appreciate being informed of this notification before ClassJump closes down. As a result of this website being removed from service, my school, Bethune K-8, would be forced to, once again, finding a new website to store information, assignments, videos, and the like. Our school really takes advantage of having these kinds of websites, and I find it a convenience since it helps me communicate with my teachers, other than using tedious email websites. This one is the best out of the others I've previously used; such as Edmodo, My Big Campus, Class Monster, and alternatives. So I have one request: If possible, please keep this website in service until the end of the year. It won't only help me to achieve getting better grades, but I guarantee you that it will help my other peers to succeed.

Thank you for your contribution to help our school communicate with each other online. I am a student in 7th grade and appreciate the time and effort you put into this program. I been only using ClassJump for the past school year, and it has been amazing to see how functional it is that you haven't even got a dollar from your users.

Thank you,

I appreciate the past 6 years. I am beyond sorry to see you and this site go. I'll never find the right format for a classroom site, as you spoiled me.
Thank you and reconsider,
Susan

Thank you for your selfless service.

Charge us it is worth it.
Maryanne Stahl March 2, 2016
this is AWFUL! Classjump is so much more user friendly than other sites. Is there any way at all you can keep it going until June?
Linda L. Perez March 2, 2016
I'm sorry to hear that you are shutting this down. ClassJump was my first and has been my only way of communicating with my students outside the classroom. I chose ClassJump first because it is a non-profit run by educators like me. In addition, it is simple to use and I truly appreciate that. I have come to depend on ClassJump a great deal so it will be difficult to transition to something else especially in the middle of the school year. Even so.... I thank you for this service and I wish both of you the very best in your future endeavors.

PLEASE don't leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your website. Teachers have put in SO much work. What about a subscription based service model?

What a shame!!!! I have loved your website, and use it faithfully. I so appreciate what you have done for teachers, and will miss this resource terribly. I hope that you will be able to contribute to this profession in some other way-you will be missed.
Amber Stokes March 2, 2016
Will Class Jump be offered for a fee? I hope so!
Max L. March 2, 2016
When people at school said you were shutting down on the 1st I didn't believe it.
Could you at least wait until the second so it's more believable?
Ms. Kathy J. Roberts March 2, 2016
Thank you for your valued service! Blessings on you and Class Jump as you move forward! When will information be available regarding payment?
Judith James- Adams March 2, 2016
Thank You for offering this invaluable service it will be sorly missed. Are there plan to continue Class Jump for a fee to students and teachers?
Anthony Pantin March 2, 2016
You were the best I can not stop thanking you for all the great mems we had plus you don't even have mems so get your facts righty
Milagros March 2, 2016
Why you do not charge a quote for a year and we can continue having this awesome webpage.
Debbie Reynon March 2, 2016
Greetings! I was sad to hear about the website closing its doors to teachers and students. We are losing a valuable site, and I wanted to THANK YOU for your invaluable service and dedication to our educational institutions, especially as a non-profit.

You are wished much success in all of your future endeavors! Thank you from all of us!
Sharon Neal March 2, 2016
What can we do as parents and students to keep the sight available. It has been used as a necessary resource to ensure that my son is prepared to succeed. We support your commitment and dedication in our children.
A grateful user March 3, 2016
That's a shame. I really found this to be useful. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
Ana Monugian March 3, 2016
So sorry to see you go, but thanks for a great operation while it lasted.
Ms. Fischer March 3, 2016
I wish the site could stay open until June 31. A lot of people are counting on this site and people gave money.
Kim Little March 3, 2016
I would be happy to pay a monthly subscription fee to keep using Classjump. I have used it for at least five years, and I have found it to be far more user-friendly than any of the website options that our district has provided.
Mr. Lieberman March 3, 2016
I love this site and would love for it to stay operational. Is charging a small fee not an option?
zoey March 4, 2016
im am so sad to see classjump go down, and if there is anything schools can do to keep classjump running we will do i. but if classjump actually goes down i will be so sad because classjump helped alot. ( this better not be an april fools joke)
Jen March 4, 2016
Can Class Jump be offered for a fee? This website is very easy for my classes to access, and for parents to use. Thank you for the service.
Mr. Konitshek March 4, 2016
So sad to see it go. It has been a great resource for me. Guess I'll have to figure something else out.
