February 2023

Check out the new release for the past month. We have released an internal update to improve our import tool. Please speak with your CSM about how we can help with your rollover process. We will assist all new on boarders with the new tool during your journey with MySchool. 

Equally, we are near completion of the new IEP module, which is being user tested. The next phase of assessments is due for release shortly, and our product team will be in touch with schools using this.

We are planning a general release for the summer of 2023. More information to come on this one.

PSR update

For our BC community, we have reworked the PSR fields available in the BC tab for the students—notably, the record of previous schooling. Enter the grade level, and year and choose from the subjects available in MySchool. These are available on the PSR report PDF.

IEP V2 report template

Schools can now create and publish their own templates for IEPs. Check out this article explaining how schools can customise the template.

Questionnaire update

We have rolled out a change with questionnaires and confirmed existing contact details.  We noted, during quality testing, that users could remove their primary email field. This would cause them to log out of the system as the primary email field is also the user login name. For the moment, we have made this field non-editable. 

Users have a pop-up asking them to contact the school to be able to change this on their profile directly. As a solution, you can add a simple text question and update
