Release Notes

Your classes show their teacher again instead of saying "Unassigned".

Classes were showing "Unassigned" on the Classes page even when a teacher had been chosen. The teacher was always saved correctly, so nothing needs re-entering. Every affected class now shows the teacher it already had, new classes keep showing theirs, and renaming a teacher updates their classes straight away.

Electives are unchanged. They keep showing the instructor you typed in when you set them up.

Parent and guardian contact details now sit at the top of a student's profile.

Teachers and administrators see the guardian's name, email and phone right in the profile header, on every tab, with buttons to call or email them. When a student has more than one guardian, a link takes you to the full list. Students and parents do not see this panel.

The "Emergency Contact" section is now called "Parents & Guardians".

Same information, clearer name. It was easy to miss when you were simply trying to check who a student's family is, or whether you had the right email on file. It still doubles as your emergency contact list.

Your plan is now visible from anywhere, and easier to change.

The sidebar shows which plan your school is on and how many students it covers, with a link to see all the plans whenever you want one. Setting up a new school now includes choosing a plan as a step, so you are never hunting for it.

You can now see exactly what is inside each bank deposit.

Click any payout to open a worksheet showing every payment inside it, broken down to the individual items each family paid for, so one deposit can be split across your accounting categories. The figures at the top show collected minus fees equals the amount your bank received, with a clear note whenever anything does not add up. Export the whole thing to a spreadsheet, and browse your full payout history instead of only the most recent few.

Yearly plans now let you know when it is time to move up.

If your school reaches the student limit on your yearly plan, you will see
exactly what the next plan costs before you add anyone else, and you only pay
the difference for the rest of your year. Your renewal date does not change.

Switching to a bigger yearly plan is now instant and prorated.

If your school is on a yearly plan and you outgrow it, moving up to a larger yearly plan now updates the plan you already have instead of starting a second one alongside it — you're only charged the difference for the rest of your year, and your renewal date stays the same. Moving to a smaller yearly plan currently needs a quick note to support so we can make sure it's handled correctly.

Account actions are now confirmed against your own school's people.

Deactivating an account, renaming a staff member, or sending someone a password reset now checks that the account belongs to your school before it runs. That check already applied when editing a user; it now applies to every one of those actions. Bulk deactivation skips anyone outside your school and tells you how many were skipped.

The teacher you pick for an elective is now checked against your staff list.

When you create or edit an elective, the teacher you choose is verified against your school's current staff before it saves. The dropdown now matches that list exactly, so it can't offer a name that turns out not to work when you save. Administrators who also teach appear there too, the same way they do everywhere else.

School leaders who also teach can now be put in charge of a cohort.

If you run your school and teach at the same time, your name was missing from the Responsible Staff list when you created or edited a cohort. At a school where the founder is the only adult, that list came up completely empty, so there was no way to create a cohort at all. You now show up there the same way you already do when you assign a subject.

When a club fills up, you can now move a student from the waitlist onto the roster.

Waitlisted students used to be stuck there with no way to move them up, and because nothing is owed until a student is on the roster, there was no way to collect their fee either. Every waitlisted student on a club's registration list now has a Move up button. If the club is already at its limit, NavEd tells you the new limit before you confirm, and once the student is on the roster their family is emailed their payment link.

You can now email families straight from your gradebook.

Open a class gradebook and you can reach everyone missing an assignment, everyone scoring below your school's passing grade, or one student's family, without copying addresses by hand. Choose whether it goes to parents, students, or both. The message opens in your own email app with everyone added privately, so no family sees another family's address and replies come straight back to you. If a student has no contact on file, you're told before you send rather than that family being quietly left out.

You can now ask for a number from each child, not just one total for the family.

Some forms ask "how many" for something a family is signing up for, like pizza slices on a lunch day or tickets for a field trip. That used to be one number for the whole family. Now you can turn on a per-child version of that question, so parents set an amount for each child they pick, and the family still pays once for everything combined. The list of children you download from the form shows what each child ordered, right next to their name, grouped by grade level.
