Release Notes

Reduced false alerts from session monitoring.

NavEd's session monitoring was sending alerts when a user's session expired after a normal password change. This is expected behavior — when you change your password, other active sessions are automatically signed out for security. The monitoring now correctly treats this as routine rather than flagging it as an error.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Session hash mismatch logging downgraded from error to warning (no longer triggers Sentry alerts)
• Added defensive support for future secret key rotation to prevent unnecessary session invalidation

The electives page no longer crashes for accounts with missing profiles.

If a student or parent account was set up incompletely — for example, after a demo reset or an interrupted signup — visiting the Electives page would show an error instead of loading. Now, you'll see a clear message asking you to contact your school administrator, and you'll be redirected safely to the home page.

This fix also covers the enrollment form, so saving elective choices is protected too.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Added graceful error handling for student and parent accounts with missing profiles on all electives pages
• Added logging so school administrators can identify and fix affected accounts

Google sign-in is now faster for new users.

When a new user signed in with Google for the first time, NavEd was searching every school twice — once looking for an existing account, and again looking for a pending invitation. With 30+ schools on the platform, this added ~300ms of unnecessary delay to the sign-in flow.

Now both checks happen in a single pass through the schools, cutting the lookup time roughly in half.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Consolidated two separate school-scanning loops into one during Google sign-in
• Updated performance documentation to reflect current school count (~30 active)

Signing up with Google just got faster.

When a new user signed up through Google, NavEd was checking every school in the system one by one to find their invitation — adding a noticeable delay during the signup process. The more schools on NavEd, the longer the wait.

Now, when you send an invitation, we immediately record which school it belongs to. So when the invitee signs in with Google, we know exactly where to look — no searching required. Signup is now near-instant regardless of how many schools use NavEd.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Eliminated slowdown during Google sign-in for invited users
• Signup speed no longer degrades as more schools join NavEd

Student profile pages now load faster — especially for parents with multiple children.

We found that every time you opened a student's profile, the page was making extra trips to the database to look up grade level names — once for the student, once for each subject, and once for each child in the parent dropdown. These tiny delays added up quickly, especially on the grades tab.

Now all that grade level information is fetched in a single pass when the page loads. You won't notice anything different visually — it just feels snappier.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Student profile loads grade level info in one query instead of one per subject
• Parent child-selector dropdown no longer triggers extra lookups per child
• Grades tab subject list pre-loads grade level data to avoid repeated queries

Dark mode text on the student enrollment page is now readable.

If your school uses dark mode, the "Enroll Students in Subjects" page had several text elements that were nearly invisible -- the page subtitle, help text below dropdowns, the selection count badge, and the card header all blended into the dark background. This made the page unusable for anyone preferring dark mode.

All text on this page now uses theme-aware colors that adapt correctly to both light and dark modes. Light mode appearance is unchanged.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Card header text adapts to both light and dark backgrounds instead of being hardcoded white
• Help text below form fields is more visible in dark mode (opacity increased from 60% to 80%)
• Selection count badge uses outline style instead of ghost style for dark mode visibility
• Subject list container background is more distinguishable from the card body in dark mode

Your grades page now loads noticeably faster, especially if you're enrolled in multiple subjects.

We noticed that for students with several subjects, the grades page was doing a surprising amount of behind-the-scenes work on every load — quietly making a separate trip to the database for each subject to look up grade level information. For a student with eight subjects, that meant eight extra round-trips before the page could finish rendering.

We've consolidated those lookups into a single, efficient query so everything arrives together. The page loads the same as before, just faster — and the improvement scales as your school grows.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Grades page database queries reduced by up to 2× the number of enrolled subjects per student
• Subjects on the grades page now appear in consistent alphabetical order

A few pages that should have required a login now properly do.

We discovered that four pages — your profile, the directory settings, the add elective form, and subject documents — weren't correctly enforcing the login requirement. If someone navigated to these URLs without being signed in, they'd land on an error page instead of being redirected to login.

This is now fixed. Unauthenticated visitors are redirected to the sign-in page as expected, with a link back to where they were trying to go.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Profile page now redirects unauthenticated users to login instead of showing an error
• Directory settings, add elective form, and subject documents pages do the same

Student grade pages load noticeably faster when subjects use point-based grading.

If your school uses total-points grading — where final grades are calculated from raw points earned rather than percentages — you may have noticed that student grade pages could feel sluggish, especially for students enrolled in several subjects with many assignments. Each assignment grade was triggering its own separate lookup behind the scenes, and those added up.

We've eliminated that redundancy. The grade page now gathers all the information it needs in one efficient pass before the page renders, instead of making a separate trip to the database for each graded row. For a student with 14 graded assignments, that's 14 round trips reduced to zero.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Student profile grade tab loads faster for schools using point-based grading
• Fixed an issue where subject grade calculation could trigger extra database lookups per row during page render

Elective scheduling conflicts now tell you exactly what's wrong.

When assigning students to electives, if a student was already enrolled in another class during the same block, you'd see a generic "something went wrong" error — not helpful when you're trying to build a schedule quickly.

Now you'll see the actual conflict: which class, which block, and which day. You stay right where you were on the enrollment page so you can fix it and move on.

Fixes and Improvements¶

• Elective block conflicts now show a clear warning message instead of a generic error page
• You're no longer redirected away from the enrollment page when a conflict occurs
