We’re happy to share that Mindex has released the latest version of SchoolTool, Version 21.4-R1 (Build 12)! This release brings important updates for both database and web servers. Let’s explore the recent features included in this update!
SchoolTool now supports OAuth 2.0 for Gmail. This is available for districts that connect directly to smtp.gmail.com without a relay to support Google's deprecation of "Less Secure Apps" which occurred on September 30. Note that districts using Gmail with a relay will have different steps to perform.
Changes have been made throughout SchoolTool to correspond with NYS Data Warehouse reporting requirements.
This includes new and updated state assessment names, assessment schedules for 2025, state course code changes, one new Career Path Code, one new language code, and the addition of a new Instructor Type code field in the Master Schedule Editor.
A new option in the Course Catalog allows courses to be designated as hybrid (both traditional and descriptor/standard). Teachers assigned to hybrid courses have access to all grade book screens and functionalities related to traditional and descriptor/standard grades.
The RTI Description is now visible on the RTI Detail Report. In addition, RTI Types have been added to the RTI Alert icon hover menu.
SchoolTool now allows users to filter the list of custom exports using any column in the Custom Export section. This feature is especially useful for districts with many custom exports.
The Submit Descriptor/Standard Marking Period Grades Screen has been updated to enhance the grade submission experience. These updates include a new student flyout selector, additional functionality in the student tile, the ability to mass apply comments, and new grid options.
We’ve made several enhancements to the grade book editor based on your feedback. Here’s what’s new:
