New Grading Screens

With the addition of SchoolTool’s new gradebook platform comes updated grade submission screens! Without leaving the new gradebook area, seamlessly navigate to grading screens and experience the improved performance and enhanced user interface of the new grading tools. Currently, the following screens have been updated, with more to follow very soon:

Submit Progress Report Grades
Submit Marking Period Grades
Submit Final Exam Grades

NYS Science Investigations

SchoolTool has created a set of new User Defined Assessments (UDAs) in response to New York State’s implementation of brand new elementary and intermediate science investigations. These UDAs will be automatically populated for districts upon upgrade to SchoolTool 20.4.

New Discipline Options

Districts now have the ability to track additional data for discipline referrals, including student triggers, staff involvement, physical intervention, observed physical responses, various contact fields, medical follow-up, and whether the student has a BIP or ICMP. This data is available in Custom Export too, so it’s easy to report on data for any of these new fields.

New Custom Export Fields for Report Card Viewer Data

Districts can now pull data that shows when any contact with parent portal rights views a student's report card from the My Home > Grades tab.

ADDITIONAL NOTEWORTHY UPDATES

Detailed descriptions for the below updates can be found on our SchoolTool Release News page.

SchoolTool now supports user/group management and authentication via ClassLink as an Identity Provider. Depending on district configuration, users can log in using a "Sign in with ClassLink" button on the SchoolTool login screen or via the district's ClassLink portal.
Please note that districts wishing to configure ClassLink as an Identity Provider must be using the new SchoolTool login experience.

And that’s not all!
