Hi there,
We are writing to inform you that the Weebly for Education platform will be discontinued, effective next year, on August 1, 2022.
On August 1st 2022, all teacher accounts will automatically transfer to a free standard Weebly account. Your site will remain published and no action is required. With a standard Weebly account, you can continue to build and publish websites with the same easy-to-use editor you already know.
If your students have websites, their sites and accounts will be disabled. Due to COPPA privacy constraints, we do not store student personal information and are unable to reach out to these students directly.
We understand that you may have more education-specific requirements, like hosting your students' websites. The Weebly for Education platform has not received any significant feature updates in many years. In that time, several companies have emerged with dedicated solutions to better suit today's online education needs. We are actively in conversations with some of those companies to recommend partner solutions that can help your classroom management needs.
Thank you for the opportunity to help support the education community and we look forward to continuing to do so through the standard Weebly platform or through a more education-focused solutions partner.
For more information, please see our support article.
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our support team directly.
