SchoolTool's April Roundup: Exciting Product Updates on the Horizon!

Featured Image

We’re early in the month of April, and we want to share what the SchoolTool team has been up to—there are a lot of exciting things happening behind the curtain! Whether you're a current user or just curious about our Student Management System, you won't want to miss this update. So, let's dive in and see what's been going on! 

NEW! SchoolTool Overview Demo

We've got a 15-minute overview demo of SchoolTool that you can access every day at 1 pm. During the demo, we'll give you a quick rundown of SchoolTool and show you some of its features. It's a great way to get a feel for the platform without any pressure from a sales rep (even though everyone says they love Jack!). If you're interested, click here to see the demo and submit any questions into the live chat while you watch! 

Gradebook

We're excited to share that we have some big things in store for the next few months, including the release of our NEW SchoolTool gradebook! We've been working closely with teachers and educators to design a gradebook that meets their needs and exceeds expectations. Some new features include color-coded categories and assignments, improved filtering and sorting options, and the ability to easily add grades & attributes in bulk. Want to see a sneak peek? Check out the video below! 

 

Analytics & Dashboards

Not only are we rolling out our new gradebook, but we're reimagining SchoolTool Dashboards. These cloud-based and highly responsive dashboards are going to be a game-changer for students and educators alike!  Want to have a quick look at our new dashboards? We have a cool video showing them off, but are holding onto it for suspense!

Schedule a time with us and we’ll be happy to give you a live demo and show you how to customized them for your RIC or district needs. 

More is coming in May!

We're gearing up for our upcoming product release, and preparing to host our two-day All RIC conference happening in May, where we'll bring together our RIC Partners, explore current SchoolTool features, and share exciting insights on where we're headed!
