Schools can now send automatic emails to students and/or their parents when a FlexTime period opens up for registration to ensure that students sign up for the required activities.

Teachers and admins can now easily select the right FlexTime period during check in if multiple periods have the same name to ensure accuracy in reports.

Schools can now send announcements as emails to parents to keep them informed of important notices.

Schools can now categorize their Guidances as one of the following to allow better reporting and trend monitoring:

Teachers can now create random class groups using FlexTime lists to ensure participation in FlexTime activities.

Teachers, staff and admins are now directed to the new Intercom Help menu when they click on the “Help and Support” Button.

Parent emails for weekly summaries now go out starting at 9am PST Saturday.

The default template for weekly summary emails now uses the word “student” instead of “child” for more inclusive language.

Teachers can now adjust date and time while assigning behaviors in My Class to allow behavior logging for the past incidents.

No more 30-second confirmation screen when a pass is created via Kiosk. This ensures students can move quickly and prevent traffic backups at Kiosks.

To ensure greater student visibility and less teacher hassle, error modals now inform students that they have exhausted their limits if they encounter one of the following hall pass restrictions:

Teachers and admins now see an updated error message that stacks multiple restrictions into one message so they don't have to override each error individually.

A new modal to allow admins to clone FlexTime Periods over a range of dates and days. This is currently behind a closed beta test and will be available to Premium and Plus customers once the beta test has concluded.

Check in the wrong student by mistake? No problem! Teachers now get a grace period of ~15s to undo a FlexTime Check In if it is processed mistakenly. After a teacher clicks the check-in button for a student, a temporary "Undo" option appears for approximately 15 seconds.

Improving the home-school communication, weekly parent summaries are a digest of the week. Sent home weekly to parent emails this digest recounts Hall Passes, Behaviors and more. This feature is available for Plus and Premium customers.
​

The My Class feature to create randomly generated groups was handy, but lacked the ability to fine-tune the groups. Teachers can now simply drag and drop students from one group to another after generation.

New settings to specify how many days in advance should teachers and students be able to view the periods. Even if an admin has cloned periods for the next three months, they can set the visibility to "7 days," ensuring students only see what is relevant for the upcoming week.

Located under FlexTime > Settings > Period Visibility, admins can specify exactly how many days in advance a FlexTime period becomes visible to the rest of the school.

Admins can now select/multi-select/select all FlexTime periods and delete them in bulk without having to delete each instance individually.

Now, the activity types dropdown menu is better aligned with real school activity types (Intervention, Enrichment, Independent work), giving better reporting options to reflect who is attending what type of activities.

My Class and the Hall Pass Dashboard now update automatically on any event change without requiring a manual refresh. The dashboard now utilizes an event-based architecture. When a student starts or ends a pass, the change is broadcast instantly. Staff members no longer need to click a "Refresh" button or wait for a page reload to see who is currently in the hallway.

Hallway monitors can now click on the student name in the dashboard to directly navigate to the student’s profile. When a staff member stops a student in the hallway, they often need context immediately to make a fair decision. Simply clicking the students name will take them to their student pofile, where their class schedule and other details can be found.

Teachers now have immediate visibility into a student's pass activity for the day. When a teacher requests a pass, or when a student's pass has just ended, a brief history of that student's daily passes will be displayed.

In my class, when a student requests a pass, the request icon will show how many passes they have had that day.

We’ve introduced a redesigned user list dropdown within My Class, allowing teachers to switch between their different classes easier, with list categorization. Additionally, teachers can now "favorite" their most frequently used lists for instant access at the top of their selection.

Staff members will no longer need to reapply their preferred filters every time they refresh the page. Any filters set within the Hall Pass dashboard will now persist across sessions and page refreshes.

We have updated the "Remove" functionality within FlexTime rosters to ensure a consistent experience across the platform. Whether you are in the dashboard, viewing reports, or using the people selector, the removal process now behaves identically.

We have revised the Settings Dashboard to enhance usability and provide better data visibility for District Managers and Owners.
