Streamlining Your School Day: New Updates & Improvements!

Hello Educators!

We know that every minute in the classroom is precious. That’s why we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to polish your experience, squash some bugs, and make our tools more intuitive. Our latest update is all about saving you time and ensuring your students have the smoothest experience possible.

Here is a look at what’s new!

🌟 Key Highlights

A More Intuitive Assignment Creator We’ve completely refreshed how you create and manage assignments. We’ve redesigned the flow to follow a more natural path (Curriculum > Classes > Lessons) and updated the "Lesson Selection" interface.

Bulk Actions Broken Out We’ve broken out the most popular "Bulk Actions" into their own dedicated buttons, so you can make big changes with fewer clicks. Also "Bulk Actions" is now "More Actions" btw.

Roster Syncing Reliability & Invites We’ve heard your feedback regarding roster management. We have implemented critical fixes for Clever and Google Classroom syncing, ensuring your class lists stay up-to-date automatically. We also overhauled the Teacher Invitation flow and "Self-join" links, making it easier than ever to get your entire staff onboarded and ready to go.

A Library of Helpful Tutorials Need a quick refresher on a specific feature? We’ve added more helpful "How-To" videos directly onto various pages in the Teacher Portal! From setting up District-wide settings to managing custom lessons and running reports, help is now available exactly where and when you need it.

🚀 Other Notable Improvements

For Your Students:

• Audio Enhancements: We updated the Dictation Voice and fixed an issue where typing sounds could still be heard even when toggled off.

• Clearer Dashboards: We’ve cleaned up the Student Portal and added a "Verify Score" feature to Student Certificates for extra motivation and authenticity.

• Custom Tests: Custom tests now appear directly in the student’s test list, making it easier for them to find their assigned work.

• Better Games Experience: We’ve tweaked the Games page and fixed an issue where game settings weren't saving for individual students.

For Teachers & Admins:

• Reporting Wins: You can now see the exact dates assignments were completed! We also added "Save Report" text so you know you can star your favorite reports for quick access . .

• Search Upgrades: We’ve revamped the search functionality and result categories, helping you find students, classes, or lessons in record time.

• Easier Student Management: Adding students is now simpler with a refreshed "Add Single Student" modal and a more streamlined CSV import process.

• Reliable Progress Tracking: We’ve resolved an issue that prevented some student scores from registering, so you can trust that every bit of student effort is captured.

🛠️ Stability & Performance

Beyond the visible changes, we’ve fixed several "under the hood" issues, including license display errors for PLUS subscribers and "This Week" scoreboard glitches. Your experience should now feel faster, more stable, and more reliable.

We are so grateful for the work you do every day. We hope these updates make your life a little easier and your classroom a little brighter.
