SchoolTool 21.2 Release is here!

Submit Work-Based Learning Hours

A brand-new screen to submit Work-Based Learning Hours was added to teacher grade books. Teachers can enter hours for all students in a particular class section rather than adding hours on each student record individually.

Grade Book Enhancements

Based on customer feedback, enhancements have been made to the new grade book including:

• A Grid Options area to customize the look of columns and rows

• Bolder scores and student averages

• The sort will respect the student name display; if displaying First Name Last Name, the sort will sort by first name

• A new option to condense the rows to show more students on the page

• A new option to always show the attribute editor

• Student averages will now show in a separate column which is sortable and color-coded, if configured

• Assignment actions have been moved to a drop-down which allows more information about the assignment to be shown when the assignment name is clicked

• Paging arrows have been realigned for ease of use

Customizable Activities Section

A new customizable activities area is available on an additional canned Transcript format, allowing districts to track additional information like seals and certifications.

Updates Related to Student Gender, Sex, Pronouns, and Names

SchoolTool is continuing to add and update features to support districts in managing students’ gender and sex, preferred pronouns, and affirmed/legal names. 

Custom Export Updates

New fields were added to Custom Export allowing information to be gathered about the people that have viewed the student report card, their relationship to the student, and their account status.

Crisis Code Start Date

A field to track the start date of a crisis code was added to support districts in reporting this data to the NYS Data Warehouse.

Canned Report Card Updates

New functionality has been added to the 8 MP report card to mirror functionality that exists on other report cards.
