Since the start of the 2023 school year, the NEO platform has replaced the old digital work environment in public colleges in Yvelines. Published by the company Edifice, this solution is deployed across all institutions in the department and serves as a single entry point to educational tools and school life. For the 2026-2027 school year, several adjustments will change the daily operation of the platform, particularly regarding notification management and its integration with Pronote.
Right to Disconnect on NEO: What Changes for the 2026 School Year
The most visible change for families this year concerns alert management. A notification suspension feature has been introduced for the 2026-2027 school year: notifications are suspended every day from 8 PM to 7 AM and on weekends, with a possible delayed email send-out the following morning.
This mechanism does not cut off access to the platform. Parents, students, and teachers can still consult the ENT at any time. Only outgoing alerts (messages, homework reminders, school news) are paused during these time slots.
The stated goal by Edifice is to limit digital solicitation outside of class hours. For teachers, this also means that messages sent in the evening no longer generate immediate notifications for recipients. Feedback on this feature will need to be observed over time, especially in institutions where communication via the ENT is very frequent.
To find detailed connection steps and accessible features, the guide for the ENT college 78 Néo Yvelines outlines each procedure to follow from the start of the school year.
ENT NEO and Pronote: Two Distinct Tools, One Authentication
A point that regularly generates confusion among families concerns the boundary between NEO and Pronote. The two tools coexist, but their roles are separate.
- NEO serves as a general portal: messaging between members of the educational community, school news, educational resources shared by teachers, collaborative spaces.
- Pronote remains dedicated to school life in the strict sense: viewing grades, tracking absences, schedules, homework diaries, and assignments.
- Authentication is done through the NEO portal. The user logs in once on the ENT, then accesses Pronote without having to re-enter their credentials, thanks to the single sign-on (SSO) mechanism.
This separation has a concrete effect: when a parent looks for their child’s grades, they must first go through NEO, then navigate to the Pronote connector. The process is not always intuitive, especially for families who used to access Pronote directly in previous years.
Lost Credentials or First Connection
Login credentials are distributed by the institution at the beginning of the school year. For students entering sixth grade, account activation usually occurs during a supervised session at the college. Parents receive their own credentials by mail or through the administration office.
In case of forgetfulness, password reset goes through the email address provided during account activation. If no address has been associated, the institution’s administration office remains the only contact to unlock access.
NEO Pocket Mobile App for Yvelines Colleges
The NEO ENT is accessible from a web browser, but also via the NEO Pocket mobile app, available on iOS and Android. This app allows users to check messages, news, and notifications from a smartphone or tablet.
NEO Pocket does not replicate all the functionalities of the web version. Collaborative spaces and certain educational resources require access through a browser. However, messaging and the news feed are fully functional on mobile, covering the most frequent uses by parents.
The app respects the notification suspension described above: alerts follow the same disconnection time slots, whether the user is on mobile or on a computer.
Integrated Digital Services in ENT College 78
Beyond Pronote and messaging, NEO brings together several services accessible from the portal:
- A personal storage space where students can upload documents and share them with their teachers.
- Integrated educational applications (class blog, multimedia notebook, interactive exercises) that each teacher can activate according to their needs.
- A communication module for families, used by the administration to disseminate administrative information (class councils, school outings, exceptional closures).
The Yvelines department funds the ENT as a digital public service, through its operator Seine-et-Yvelines Numérique. Families have no subscription fees to pay. The entire platform and its features are accessible free of charge for all users affiliated with a public college in 78.
School Year Transition and Data Retention
Every summer, the automatic feeding of accounts from SIECLE files stops in mid-July. Accounts are no longer updated until the start of the school year, but the content created by users remains saved. Shares made to classes, however, are deleted, as class groups change from year to year.
Teachers who wish to keep resources shared with a class must duplicate them in their personal space before the end of the year. Shares made between individual accounts (teacher to teacher, for example) are maintained as long as both accounts exist.
Account reloading for the new school year generally occurs a few days before the start of the school year, once student databases have been updated by the institutions. The exact timing varies by college.
The NEO platform continues to evolve each year. For the 2026-2027 school year, adjustments focus on user comfort (disconnection, notifications) rather than structural changes. Families who were already familiar with the ENT last year will find a familiar environment, with a few additional settings to discover in their account preferences.
