Learn moreSchools can now create student accounts and allow limited access to the platform and app for students 13 and older. Admins can set the level for the student access and user rights. Student accounts are optional. Please contact Support to activate the feature.
Learn moreSchools can now create and manage student portfolios. Student portfolios are a way to provide private learning updates to the student's parents. In other words, only the student's parents see the portfolio entry.
Learn moreUsers can now subscribe to School Signals calendars from the main School Calendar page. Once subscribed, entries and events sync to the user’s chosen personal online calendar.
The Pages feature now includes a Spanish translation option. Create the English page first, click Save, and then click Translate.
Learn moreSchools can add links to externally managed forms so families can access them from the same place, alongside forms created in School Signals.
Learn moreParents and teachers can now use the Submitted Forms tab to review forms they have previously submitted. The submission results were already showing up on the online forms page. This update provides a quicker view just to view the form results.
Learn moreAdmins can now make forms mandatory, set a submission deadline, and choose reminder frequency and duration. Parents continue receiving reminders until one parent fills out the form.
Learn moreSchool admins can copy an existing post and publish it as a new post. Content can be edited before publishing it.
Learn moreSchools can allow parents to participate in a private chat within Clubs & Programs. When activated, all parents in the club are automatically added to the chat group. This can be useful for parent-only planning, such as coach appreciation.
Learn moreYou can now quickly save posts to your folder. The Save post button is located below the post. This is an additional tool that helps the school community to stay informed.
Learn moreChat messages are now translated into each parent’s home language. When a parent sends a message in their home language, the recipient sees the message in English or their chosen language, with a clear indicator that it was translated.
Administrators can print submitted form responses from the form results index page.
Parents who select Spanish, or have Spanish set as their language, can now see parent-facing buttons and interfaces in Spanish.
Users can now heart comments. Liking a comment is a great way to acknowledge the community member who took their time to leave the comment.
Schools can create volunteering opportunities that are not tied to a specific date and time. Donations, for example, may not require someone to arrive in person at a set time. A deadline can still be added to the task.
Learn moreGroup Admins can control whether the group’s membership tags are visible to people who are not members of the group.
Priority posts include an option to notify parents with a voice call. The call is created from the post text, so no recording is required. Calls are sent in the parent’s home language and are automatically included in Critical Alerts.
Learn moreDistrict Admins can publish News & Updates posts across a school district. Questions and comments appear in one feed for easy access by the District Admin.
Learn moreWhen a parent signs up for a volunteer task, they can now leave a note or comment for the community. (Parents can also communicate in the volunteer opportunity's communication feed.)
