We are so excited to announce that the Release Candidate of Schoolbox v17 is almost ready to release and will soon be ready for testing.
This update has a strong emphasis on giving you more control, which is why you’ll see a heavy focus on improving the Pastoral Care system, as well as introducing a Date Picker for better insights, and filters for enhanced views of LMS data.

As always, the full release notes are now available on Schoolbox Help.
The stand-out v17 features include:
Pastoral Care
We had such positive feedback from our community about the pastoral system, which was launched last year, that we wanted to expand and improve on its general capabilities. The new system now includes:
-
Dashboard
-
Pastoral groups
-
Saved reports
Date Picker
We know how critical it is for teachers to be able to see possible clashes when creating an event or due date, which is why we have developed a new and improved Date Picker tool, which allows for:
-
Timetable selection
-
Calendar insights
-
Due work insights
Enhanced LMS Views
We’ve now added filter options to your school pages, giving you the opportunity to control and configure what is relevant to you and your school.
Other features
There are additional changes to PlagScan, our plagiarism system, Schoolbox performance, and administration. To view these important updates, as well as other minor features you voted for, make sure you visit our Schoolbox Help release notes area.
Hope to see you at the walkthrough!
