Year-End Bundle

Year-End Bundle

At long last, I have finished the year-end PDF bundle. This new feature brings all of your school year activities into a single package. The bundle includes PDF reports of all the tasks that each of your students did in a school year and a lot more!

In the bundle, you’ll get PDF reports of all the reports that are currently available to you on the Reports page. This includes

  • The attendance report for each student
  • The progress report for each student
  • A list of resources for each student
  • A list of completed tasks for each student

My hope is the bundle makes finishing out your year a joy. No more wasted time collecting all the evidence you need to show your local goverment that you taught your students. All of that is pulled together for you into a convenient zip file.

You can find this new feature of your Reports page. Enjoy!

Grade Level Order

Grade Level Order

January 27, 2022

Maybe you want to change the ordering of the grade levels in your school year. Well, now you can! This is a very brief feature update. If you create your school year’s grade levels in an order that you don’t like, you can now adjust the order to your liking, just like you can with course ordering. You can find the ordering controls on the school year’s edit page. On an unrelated note, I fixed some horizontal scrollbar issues.
Delete Many Tasks

Delete Many Tasks

November 8, 2021

When building a course, you can create many tasks at once with School Desk’s bulk creation tools. What do you do when you make a mistake and create tasks that you don’t want? You can now delete many tasks from a single page instead of deleting one at a time. This should save you some clicks and time if you happen to goof as you build your course. You can find this new feature as one of the action buttons on your course page.
Breaks Per Student

Breaks Per Student

September 24, 2021

School breaks can now be set for individual students in a school! This is a change from the classic handling of school breaks that applied school breaks to all students unconditionally. When our family takes breaks from school, we usually have both of our kids on break. This makes perfect sense for breaks like Christmas vacation, but having everyone on break at the same time isn’t always what we want.
