Overview Your website includes comprehensive accessibility reporting to help ensure your content meets ADA compliance standards. These reports help you identify and address accessibility issues to keep your website accessible to everyone in your community.

Essential for ADA compliance Maintaining an accessible website is crucial for reaching all community members and meeting legal requirements. Our accessibility reports provide complete visibility into your website's compliance status with detailed guidance for addressing any issues.

Complete site monitoring There's now a dedicated Accessibility section in your main sidebar that provides comprehensive oversight of your website's accessibility. You'll see detailed reports for all your pages and news items, including issue counts, recommendations, resolution tracking, and scan timestamps.

Two accessibility areas Your accessibility tools are organized in two places:

• Settings > Accessibility: Configure publishing requirements (like requiring all issues be resolved before publishing)
• Accessibility sidebar section: View comprehensive reports showing all pages and news items with their accessibility status

Actionable guidance right where you work When editing pages or news items, accessibility issues appear directly in your editor with specific suggestions for fixing each problem. This helps you understand not just what needs attention, but exactly how to address it.

Proactive accessibility management Stay ahead of accessibility concerns by identifying and addressing potential issues before they become problems. This helps you maintain an inclusive website that effectively serves your entire community.

Optional publishing safeguards You can choose to require all accessibility issues be resolved before publishing new content, ensuring your website maintains high accessibility standards from the start.

Instead of manually addressing each issue, Edlio AI handles the technical fixes so you can focus on creating great content while maintaining full ADA compliance effortlessly.

The accessibility reports are part of your website management tools, giving you comprehensive accessibility oversight capabilities.

Overview You can now see when people have read your messages in conversations! This feature helps you track whether your important communications are being seen, with smart privacy controls based on user roles.

Perfect for tracking important communications When you send messages about school events, updates, or time-sensitive information, you can now see whether recipients have actually read them. This is especially helpful for administrators and staff who need to ensure critical information reaches its intended audience.

Smart role-based privacy Your school administrators can control who sees read receipts through the Conversations Settings. By default, administrators, staff, and teachers can see read receipts, while the feature can be configured differently for other roles like parents or students based on your school's communication policies.

How read receipts work Just like popular messaging apps, you'll see:

• One check mark when your message is successfully sent
• Two check marks when at least one person has read your message
• Message details showing exactly who has read your message and when

Easy to access read information

• In the Dashboard: Click on any message you've sent to see detailed read receipt information
• In the mobile app: Long-press on messages you've sent to view who has read them
• Read counts: See how many people out of the total conversation participants have read each message

Better message organization Messages now show clearer timestamps and the check mark indicators stay visible, so you can easily track the status of all your communications at a glance.

This feature gives you the confidence that your important messages are being seen while respecting privacy boundaries set by your school's communication policies.

Overview When filtering people by grade in the Manage People section, you now see a dropdown list of all available grades instead of having to type them in manually!
​

Simpler grade selection The advanced filter in Manage People now shows you all the grade levels that exist in your system. Just click the dropdown and select the grades you want to filter by - no more guessing at grade formats or trying to remember exact grade names.
​

Consistent with target lists This works the same way as the grade filter we recently improved in target lists, giving you a consistent experience when working with grade-based filtering throughout the platform.
​

Reduces filtering mistakes By showing you exactly which grades are available, you can be confident you're selecting the right criteria and won't miss people due to typing errors or incorrect grade formats.

This small improvement makes it much easier to find and manage people by grade level in your system.

Overview When you use templates in Mass Communications and make changes to one channel, those changes now automatically apply to all other channels! Plus, you can now create templates using an "All Channels" option to write your content once for every channel.

Perfect for consistent messaging Templates are great for maintaining consistent communication across email, text, voice, and social channels. Now when you use a template and decide to adjust the message in one channel, those changes automatically copy to all the other channels, just like when you create messages from scratch.

Easier template creation When creating new templates, you can now choose "All Channels" to write your content once and have it configured for every communication channel automatically. No more copying the same message across email, text, and social tabs.

Smart content syncing Here's how it works when using templates in Mass Communications:

• Start with your template: Choose any template to populate your campaign
• Edit one channel: Make changes to the content in one channel
• Automatic copying: Your changes instantly appear in all other channels
• Saves time: No need to manually update each channel when you want to make the same change everywhere

Consistent with existing behavior This enhancement makes templates work just like creating blank messages, where editing one channel automatically updates the others. Now you get that same time-saving behavior whether you start from scratch or use a template.

Great for campaign management This is especially helpful when you're fine-tuning campaign messaging after selecting a template, or when you want to make last-minute adjustments that should apply across all your communication channels.

Your Mass Communications workflow is now more efficient and consistent, regardless of how you start creating your campaigns.

Overview You can now import student exclusion groups from a spreadsheet instead of creating them one by one! This is perfect for schools that have extensive exclusion lists or are migrating from another system.

Perfect for large-scale setup If you have many student exclusion groups to create - whether you're setting up Hall Pass for the first time or importing existing exclusion data from another system - you can now upload them all at once using a spreadsheet.

Simple import process The import works just like other spreadsheet imports in the system. You'll see a helpful modal that guides you through the process, shows you exactly what format your file needs to be in, and even lets you download a sample spreadsheet to get started.

What you can import Your spreadsheet can include:

• Students: List student IDs (separated by commas) for each exclusion group
• Note: Add explanations for why the exclusion group exists
• Expiration date: Set when exclusion groups should automatically be removed (works with the new auto-expiration feature)

Smart duplicate handling The system automatically prevents duplicate exclusion groups, so if you accidentally include the same group of students with the same expiration date multiple times, it will only create one exclusion group.

Easy to get started Download the sample spreadsheet to see exactly how to format your data, fill it out with your exclusion groups, and upload it. The system handles all the heavy lifting of creating individual exclusion groups based on your spreadsheet data.

This saves significant time when setting up Hall Pass exclusions, especially for larger schools or districts with complex behavioral management needs.

Overview You can now update access restrictions for multiple target lists simultaneously instead of editing them one by one! This is a huge time-saver for schools and districts with many target lists to manage.

Perfect for large-scale management If you have dozens or hundreds of target lists that need the same access restrictions - like limiting visibility to administrators only - you can now select them all and update their restrictions in one action instead of editing each list individually.

Simple bulk editing process From your Target Lists management page, select the target lists you want to update and choose "Edit Restrictions" from the bulk actions. You'll see a modal that shows exactly how many lists you've selected and lets you set the new access restrictions for all of them at once.

Overwrites existing settings When you apply new restrictions, they'll replace whatever access settings those target lists had before. This gives you a clean slate to ensure all your selected lists have consistent access controls.

Smart about different list types The bulk restriction editor only works with standard target lists (the ones you create manually or import), and automatically ignores classroom synced lists since those have different management rules. This means you can select a mix of different list types and the system will only apply your changes where appropriate.

This saves hours of repetitive work when managing target list access restrictions, especially for larger organizations with complex communication needs.
​

Overview You can now choose how your buttons are aligned on your pages! Instead of buttons always being centered, you can now position them left, center, or right to fit your page design perfectly.

Perfect for flexible page layouts Sometimes you want call-to-action buttons centered for maximum impact, other times you might want them aligned left to flow with your text or right for alternating layouts. Now you can choose the alignment that works best for each page.

Simple alignment controls In your Button page block settings, you'll find new alignment options under “Alignment”. Just select left, center, or right alignment and your buttons will position exactly where you want them.

Great for modern page designs This is especially helpful when you're creating pages that mix text, images, and buttons in creative layouts, or when you want your buttons to complement other elements on the page rather than always being centered.

Overview You can now create target lists that include people from multiple schools or your entire district! Previously, target lists were limited to people within a single site, but now you can build audiences that span across all your schools.

Perfect for district-level communication Many districts need to communicate with specific groups across all their schools - like all district teachers, all high school principals, or all elementary parents. Instead of creating separate target lists at each school, you can now create one district-wide target list and reach everyone at once.

Easy multi-site selection When creating target lists in your district site, you can now:

• Add specific schools: Choose which schools to include in your target list
• Select all sites: Pick "All sites in the district" to include everyone across your entire district
• Mix and match: Combine people from different schools to create custom district-wide audiences

Great for common district scenarios This feature is especially helpful for:

• District-wide announcements to all staff, parents, or students
• Department communications across multiple schools (all math teachers, all nurses)
• Administrative updates for principals, superintendents, or district staff

This enhancement gives you the power to communicate efficiently across your entire district while keeping the simple, familiar target list experience you already know.
​

Overview You can now create individual 1:1 conversations with multiple people all at once! The new Bulk Messages feature lets you write one message and send it to as many people as you need, creating separate personal conversations with each recipient.

Easy administrator setup Administrators can control who has access to bulk messaging by going to Conversations Settings in the Dashboard, clicking the Role tab, and enabling "Can Create Bulk Messages" for specific roles. This gives you complete control over which team members can use this feature based on their responsibilities.

Simple bulk messaging process Once enabled, you'll see a new "Bulk Messages" option in your Conversations area that lets you:

• Write once, send to many: Create your message one time and select multiple recipients
• Individual conversations: Each person receives their own separate 1:1 conversation thread
• Smart conversation management: If you already have an open conversation with someone, your new message continues in that existing thread instead of creating a duplicate

Great for common scenarios This feature is especially helpful for situations like:

• Individual check-ins with multiple students or staff members
• Personal reminders that need to go to several people
• Follow-up messages after meetings or events
• One-on-one communications that require the same information

Maintains conversation privacy Even though you're sending to multiple people at once, each recipient only sees their own conversation with you. This keeps communications private and personal while saving you time on message creation.

Overview You can now get automatic notifications when your SIS sync encounters problems! Set up alerts to be delivered exactly how and to whom you want, so sync issues get addressed quickly instead of going unnoticed.

Perfect for proactive sync management SIS sync failures can cause significant disruptions if they go undetected. Now you can ensure the right people know immediately when something goes wrong, so issues can be resolved quickly and your data stays current.

Easy notification setup In your Sync Configuration page, you'll now see a "Notification Settings" tab where administrators can select specific users who should receive sync failure alerts. No more wondering who needs to know about sync issues - configure it once and the system handles future notifications automatically.

Personalize how you receive alerts Every user can customize their notification preferences through their Profile settings. Choose dashboard notifications to see alerts when you log in, email notifications sent directly to your inbox, or select both options for maximum coverage.

Faster problem resolution Instead of discovering sync issues during routine checks, you'll know immediately when something needs attention. This means faster response times, less downtime, and better data reliability for your daily operations.

This feature gives you peace of mind knowing that sync issues won't go unnoticed and will reach the right people through their preferred communication channels.
