Release Notes

Unsubscribe now works everywhere, including one-click from Gmail and Yahoo.

If you unsubscribed from NavEd emails, school announcements, notifications, and grade alerts now honor that choice instead of continuing to land in your inbox. Every one of those emails also carries a working one-click "Unsubscribe" button in Gmail and Yahoo, so opting out never requires digging through settings.

Cleaner layouts on phones.

We fixed several screens where buttons or text could run off the edge on a phone. This includes the family and children view, club sign-up, applications, announcements, and the student and parent pages. Everything now wraps neatly to fit smaller screens.

New schools now start with their gradebook ready to go.

Brand-new schools now get their academic quarters set up automatically as part of sign-up, so grades and the gradebook work right away instead of showing an error. We also fixed a couple of small rough edges on the academic calendar screen where saving a school year could show a confusing message about quarters you never touched.

Our blog now has an RSS feed, and sign-up got one quick new question.

If you like following blogs in a feed reader (or want to plug our blog into your own tools), there's now an RSS feed at nav.education/blog/feed/ with every post, always including a cover image. We also added a quick, optional "How did you hear about us?" question to the sign-up form — it just helps us understand which channels are actually reaching microschool founders like you.

Faster page loads and more reliable reports.

We made a behind-the-scenes change that speeds up moving between screens in NavEd and makes generating reports more dependable, especially for schools with several years of history. If you recently saw slow pages or an occasional error when generating a report, this addresses it.

Curious what NavEd looks like in action? Our homepage now has a short video walking through how you run your whole school from one place, from the dashboard to your student list.

A refreshed look across our public pages, sign-in, and sign-up.

We gave our feature pages, blog, releases, sign-in, and sign-up a cleaner, warmer redesign that matches the rest of the site. Same information and the same steps to get started, just easier on the eyes.

Report cards for a past school year now show the grade the student was in that year.

When you print a report card for a previous year, it now shows the grade level the student was in during that year, instead of their grade for the coming year. This matters most after you've moved students up to their next grade for fall: a prior-year report card, such as one you submit to your district as proof of progress, will correctly reflect the grade the student just completed.

Find our Blog from anywhere on the site, and better search results for homeschools and co-ops.

The Blog is now linked in the footer of every page, so it's always one click away. We also fine-tuned how our Features and Pricing pages show up in search results, so co-ops and homeschools searching for school management software can find us more easily.

2026.7.8¶

The homepage got the rest of its makeover.

Following up on our recent site refresh, the main NavEd homepage now has the same warmer, clearer look as the rest of our public pages — plus a few new sections answering the questions small schools ask most before signing up, like setup time, cost, and moving off spreadsheets.

A fresh new look for the NavEd website.

We've given our public pages a warmer, clearer redesign — the homepage, features, pricing, about, contact, and our free Gradebook, Transcript, and Attendance tools. Everything's easier to read and navigate, with a consistent header and footer across the site. Same NavEd, a friendlier face.

Your payout history now shows on the Payments page.

The "Recent Payouts" section on the Payments page was coming up empty even when payouts had already been sent to your bank. It now correctly lists your recent payouts with amounts, status, and expected arrival dates. Payouts themselves were always going out on schedule — only the on-screen list was affected.

More accurate card processing fees on club and form payments.

When a family pays for a club or form online, the fee breakdown shown at checkout and on the receipt is now correct and always adds up. Each school can choose whether families cover the card processing fee or the school covers it, and your payment records and payouts reflect the right amounts.

Published a private preview page introducing NavEd Lessons for early conversations with prospective schools. It's unlisted, isn't linked from the main site, and has no effect on any existing school's account.
