Hey Schoolbox Community,
Schoolbox v19.0 is now GOLD!
This release is really something to be excited about.
Some of the big highlights include:
News Comments
News items can now be a discussion, with the ability to toggle comments on for individual articles. Imagine the increased engagement possible for your users! And very important news for those of you who didn’t love ‘Compact mode’ on Homepage news - these articles will now default to show the whole article again. But if you did love compact mode, feel free to toggle it on!
Rubric Markbook
You can now view student achievement against rubrics you have used in your class in a Rubric Markbook. Use the filters to show achievements for a single capability or indicator across multiple assessments.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care notifications will now display the severity of the record and the type, giving you a quick snapshot of what the record holds. Also, after creating a pastoral record, the author will now receive a notification if a comment is added to the record, ensuring you are up to date.
For further details on what to expect in v19, check out the Release Notes on Schoolbox Help.
Please test v19 on your development server, and if everything is working as expected, book your upgrade.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
The Schoolbox Team
