FOCUS-50380- Copy Schools: Enable Calendar Selection Only When Relevant Options Are Checked

This ensures messages are sent to the appropriate phone number when SMS is enabled, improving consistency with callout behavior.

FOCUS-50330- FAST Report: Update to Display School Year Ranges in Header (Florida)

This improves usability when filtering or mass updating students based on their upcoming grade.

FOCUS-50273- Mass Change Schedule: Improved Error Messaging for Full Rooms

FOCUS-50270- State Performance Report: Overrides "Display Student Search Screen by Default" Setting

This update ensures the State Performance Report always loads with the search screen visible, regardless of the "Display student search screen by default" preference set in My Preferences. This prevents issues where the report would display the student list by default and fail to support the search screen view, making it difficult to perform new searches.

FOCUS-50265- Course Catalog: Push Down Grading Scales to Sections

This update ensures that when a grading scale is updated in the Course Catalog and pushed down to associated sections, the change now properly applies. Previously, grading scale updates from the catalog would not reflect in existing sections. After this fix, pushing a new grading scale updates all selected sections as expected.

FOCUS-50255- FAST Report: New "Include Inactive" Filter (Florida)

This update adds a new "Include Inactive" checkbox to the FAST Report for customers in Florida. When enabled, the report includes students who are no longer actively enrolled but have valid test history for the selected school year.

See the Fast Report for more information.

FOCUS-50243- Resolve 'Enrolled Hours' Displaying as 'N/A' on Course History Detailed View

This update resolves an issue where students assigned to a deleted team were not appearing in the Team Scheduler.

FOCUS-50228- Form Builder: Resolved Missing Field Values When Printing Submitted Forms

FOCUS-50224- Run Scheduler: Override Seat Counts Now Ignores Room Limits When Enabled

This update improves the behavior of the "Override Seat Counts" option in the Scheduler.

This ensures that the override setting fully applies, resulting in more students being scheduled as intended.

FOCUS-50217- Communication Platform: Truncate Long Email Body to 2MB

This update improves the Communication Platform by limiting email body content to 2MB. Messages exceeding this size are now truncated before sending to prevent delivery issues or system strain. This ensures more reliable performance when sending large emails to students, parents, or staff.

FOCUS-50200- Student Schedule: Show Alternate-Filled Unscheduled Requests Improvement

This update enhances the Student Schedule view by displaying unfilled primary requests in the Unscheduled Requests area, even when an alternate course has been scheduled instead.

See Student Schedule for more information.

FOCUS-50180- Student Schedule: Vocational Program Code Now Saved on Schedule Entry

FOCUS-50169- Attendance Reports: Add Semester 1 and Semester 2 Timeframe Filters

This update enhances several attendance-related reports by adding "Semester 1" and "Semester 2" options to the Report Timeframe dropdown. These options are dynamically generated based on active marking periods of type Semester or Quarter where the current date falls within the marking period range. The options now appear consistently across Absence Summary, Attendance Chart, Attendance Calendar, Perfect/Excessive Attendance, and Print Absence Summary, allowing users to filter attendance data by semester with greater ease.

See Absence Summary (Admin), Attendance Chart (Admin), Attendance Calendar (Admin), Perfect/Excessive Attendance (Admin), Perfect/Excessive Attendance (Teacher), Print Absence Summary (Admin), and Print Absence Summary (Teacher) for more details.

FOCUS-50166- Attendance Chart: Corrected Full Day Absence Totals for Half-Day Codes

This update resolves an issue where the Attendance Chart incorrectly calculated "Total Full Days Absent" when students had a combination of half-day attendance codes. The chart now accurately reflects full and partial day absences in line with configured attendance thresholds. This ensures consistency between the Attendance Chart and Attendance Summary displays.

FOCUS-50165- Communication Platform: Prevent Unintended Copy Self Emails During Preview/Print

This update ensures that when users preview or print a message on the Compose screen with "Copy Self" selected, no email is generated or queued unless the message is actually sent. This prevents unnecessary entries in the communication queue and aligns system behavior with user intent.

FOCUS-50160- Hours Override: Allow Manual Entry of 0.0 Hours (Postsecondary)

This update restores the ability to manually enter 0.0 hours in the Hours Override screen without triggering a validation error. The change reverts stricter validation introduced in a previous update to align with expected CTE workflows where 0-hour entries may be necessary for attendance tracking.

See Setup > System Preferences > Grading tab and Gradebook > Did You Know? for more information.

FOCUS-50119- Progress Report: Option to Include Missing Completion Assignments

This update adds a new sub-option to Progress Reports labeled "Include completion," available when "Show Only: Missing Assignments" is selected. This allows teachers to include missing completion-type assignments--which have no point value and were previously excluded--when generating progress reports. Existing functionality remains unchanged unless the new option is selected.

See Gradebook Reports > Progress Reports for additional information.

FOCUS-50104- Addresses and Contacts: Ensure Only One Callout/SMS Flag Per Contact

This update ensures that only one SMS and one Callout flag can be set per contact, even when those flags are checked by default in Address Fields setup. When adding contact numbers with default values enabled, the system will automatically enforce the one-flag-per-contact rule. This enforcement applies to customers with Communication Platform Callout.

FOCUS-50094- IPEDS Report: Enhanced Tab-Specific Permissions

This update introduces improved permission controls for the IPEDS Report, allowing administrators to set access separately for each tab. Upon implementation, existing profiles with current viewing rights to the IPEDS Report will automatically receive access to all tabs, after which permissions can be adjusted individually as needed. This provides greater flexibility in managing user access across different sections of the report.

See Users > Profiles > Billing tab and IPEDS for more information.

FOCUS-50075- Student Schedule: Improved Translation Support

This update expands translation support for student schedules in the portal.

FOCUS-50013- Advanced Reports: Improved Reporting for Total Clock Hours Earned

This update addresses an issue within Advanced Reports related to the "Total Clock Hours Earned Towards Award" field for Postsecondary customers. With this improvement, Advanced Reports now accurately display total clock hours earned, ensuring reliable and error-free reporting for Postsecondary customers.

FOCUS-50001- Attendance Chart: Improved Weekday Rotation Handling

This update enhances attendance reporting accuracy for schools utilizing weekday rotation schedules. Previously, periods that did not meet on specific weekdays incorrectly displayed presumed attendance. Now, the Attendance Chart clearly identifies periods that do not meet with a dash and darkened box, preventing unintended attendance entries. This improvement ensures precise attendance data aligned with the established schedule rotation.

FOCUS-49956- Absence Summary: New Profile Permission for Time In/Out Fields

This update introduces a new profile permission to control the ability to edit Time In/Time Out entries on the Absence Summary screen. Previously, these fields were editable by default, causing confusion in states reliant on minute-based attendance tracking. With this change, districts can set Time In/Time Out fields to be view-only unless explicitly permitted, ensuring that attendance data remains accurate and aligned with kiosk entries.

See Users > Profiles > Attendance tab (Admin Only) and Absence Summary for additional information.

FOCUS-49944- Student Schedule: Improved Display of Dual Enrollment Schools

This update enhances the student schedule view to clearly display course schedules from multiple schools when students are dual-enrolled. Previously, schedules from additional schools did not consistently appear when viewing a student's schedule. With this improvement, the schedule interface now reliably includes courses from all schools in which a student is enrolled, ensuring administrators have complete visibility into multi-school scheduling arrangements.

FOCUS-49933- Team Scheduler: Improved Persistence of "Include in Optimize" Selections

This update ensures that user selections for the "Include in Optimize" checkboxes on the Team Scheduler screen are retained after refreshing the page or navigating away and returning. Previously, selections reverted to defaults upon page reload. Now, each user's individual preferences persist, allowing for consistent scheduling workflows. This setting remains specific to each user, providing personalized control without impacting other users.

FOCUS-49925- Student Search & Advanced Reports: Enhanced Filtering by Rolling/Retention Options

This update adds the "Rolling / Retention Options" field as a selectable filter in student searches and Advanced Reports. Previously unavailable as a search filter, users can now efficiently narrow results before running large reports, significantly improving report performance and reducing load times. Additionally, the filter dynamically populates with active schools and retention options.

FOCUS-49900- Discipline Referrals: Improved Layout and Readability

This update provides a visual enhancement to the Discipline Referrals interface. The top section of the referral screen has been reorganized for better alignment and readability, resulting in an easier and more intuitive user experience when reviewing referral details.

FOCUS-49868- Hall Passes: Improved Sorting and Status Indicators

This update introduces clearer sorting and status indicators for Hall Passes in both desktop and mobile views. Hall passes are now sorted to display expired passes first, followed by late passes (in the mobile app), and then active passes. Additionally, hall passes that exceed their intended duration but are not yet expired are clearly indicated as "Late" with a yellow border. This improvement ensures quick and easy visibility into the status and urgency of student hall passes.

See Hall Passes (Admin) and Hall Passes (Teacher) for more information.

FOCUS-49866- Average Attendance by Day: Added Filters and Enrollment Options

This update adds functional filters for attendance type and an "Include Secondary Enrollments" option to the Average Attendance by Day report.

With this improvement, users can accurately filter attendance data by type and easily include or exclude secondary enrollments, ensuring detailed and precise attendance reporting.

FOCUS-49865- Student Schedule: Display Based on Effective Date

This update improves the Student Schedule screen by using the selected "Effective Date" to determine which schedule records are displayed, rather than always defaulting to today's date. When adjusting the Effective Date, the schedule table will now refresh correctly, clearly showing schedule changes and holes relevant to the selected date. This ensures accurate representation of schedule information for past, current, or future dates.

FOCUS-49860- Student Schedule: Consistent Marking Period Updates

This update ensures consistency when changing a course's marking period in a student's schedule. Previously, updating the term for a course correctly updated the Marking Period ID but did not update the corresponding Marking Period code. Now, when a term is adjusted, both the Marking Period ID and the Marking Period are updated to match, accurately reflecting the changes made.

FOCUS-49850- Edit Rules: Enhanced Rule Matching and Validation Accuracy

This update refines the logic for how Edit Rules match fields during validation, significantly improving accuracy and reliability. Edit rules are now precisely indexed by their unique IDs, preventing cases where rules were previously unintentionally skipped. Additionally, the data used for evaluating rules has been optimized, ensuring accurate validation for both standard and complex field types. This ensures fields are correctly flagged during Advanced Reports and other system validations, providing more consistent and dependable results.

FOCUS-49809- Communication Platform: Resolve Inactive Generate Letter Button in Letter Log

This update resolves an issue where the Generate Letter button in the Letter Log could still trigger letter generation when it was not visibly displayed. With this resolution, the button is only functional when it is actively visible--ensuring that letters can no longer be generated from the empty space where a button once appeared.

FOCUS-49754- Print Avery Labels: Avery 5161 Label Support Added

This enhancement introduces support for the Avery 5161 label format within the Print Avery Labels feature for both Students and Users. The new option prints labels in a 2-column by 10-row layout per page, matching the 5161 template specifications. This allows districts greater flexibility when printing address or custom labels using standard Avery stock.

See Students > Print Avery Labels and Users > Print Avery Labels for more details.

FOCUS-49747- RunQuery: Enhanced AI Optimization and Error Assistance

This update enhances the RunQuery tool by adding improved AI-driven query optimization capabilities through a dedicated Optimize button. The Optimize feature proactively provides prioritized suggestions for query enhancements before executing the query.

See New Run Query for more information.

FOCUS-49740- Student Schedule: Enhanced Lunch Period Display

This update improves the display of lunch periods on the Student Schedule screen. Now, only the first lunch period appears directly above the schedule table.

For schools using rotation days, the current day's lunch is clearly indicated in bold within the tooltip, improving clarity and reducing visual clutter on schedules.

See Lunches for more information.

FOCUS-49476- Schedule Planner: Full Year View Now Displays as Expected in Next Year

This update resolves an issue in the new Student Schedule Planner view where courses would not appear under the "Full Year" view unless a specific marking period was selected when selecting the Schedule Planner for the next school year.

FOCUS-49451- Late Check In/Early Release: Simplified Time Entry

This update streamlines the time entry process for Late Check In/Early Release by combining previously separate fields (hour, minute, am/pm) into a single unified field. Users can now enter times more quickly and easily--for example, typing "0630a" automatically formats to "06:30 am." This enhancement provides improved efficiency and user experience when managing student attendance entries.

See Late Check In/Early Release for more information.

FOCUS-49360- Enrollment: Improved Validation for "Do Not Allow Enrollment Deletion when a Schedule Exists" Preference

This update enhances the enrollment validation logic to accurately respect the "Do Not Allow Enrollment Deletion when a Schedule Exists" system preference. Users are now permitted to delete duplicate enrollments only if the remaining enrollment's dates align correctly with the associated schedule records. Additionally, adjustments to enrollment records across current and previous school years properly consider schedule dates, enforcing the selected enrollment preferences consistently.

See System Preferences > Enrollment for more information.

FOCUS-49345- Attendance & Student Search: Improved Display of "Scheduled into Section(s)" Criteria

This update resolves an issue affecting searches using the "Scheduled into Section(s)" filter under More Search Options. Previously, the selected sections did not appear at the top of search results or on printed reports. Now, selected sections clearly display both at the top of the search results and in printed outputs, improving clarity and accuracy when reviewing and documenting search criteria.

FOCUS-49270- Attendance Reports: Improved Exclusion of Special Additional Attendance (Missouri)

This update enhances attendance reporting accuracy by incorporating the "Exclude from State Reporting" setting from Special Additional Attendance records (log_field10). When selected, attendance records flagged as excluded are now properly omitted from the Student Absence Summary and Average Daily Attendance (ADA) reports. This ensures attendance data reported to the state accurately reflects only relevant attendance minutes, providing districts precise control over attendance reporting.

FOCUS-48793- Student Final Grades: Performance Improvement for Period Absence View

This update improves performance when loading the Student Final Grades report with the "Period-by-Period Absences" option selected. The optimization reduces load times, particularly in schools with large attendance datasets.

FOCUS-48531- Google Drive Export Integration Enhancement

This enhancement introduces the ability to export data directly to a user's Google Drive. A new Google Drive icon appears alongside existing export and print options in list views and data tables. Sites using Google SSO now have an expanded configuration, allowing admins to specify whether Google is used for login, linked accounts, and/or exporting to Drive. For existing setups using Google for login, a migration ensures those settings are preserved without altering current behavior.

See Single Sign-On > Google Sign-In, Export to Google Drive (Admin) and Export to Google Drive (Teacher) for more information.

FOCUS-48430- Grade Change Request: Display "Current Gradebook Grade" Enhancement

This enhancement adds a "Current Gradebook Grade" column to both the Request Grade Changes (teacher portal) and Approve Grade Changes (admin portal) screens. For quarter-based terms, this column displays the student's current gradebook grade. If the selected term is an exam, semester, or full grade, the column will remain blank. Additionally, if the "New Grade" does not match the gradebook grade, it will be highlighted in red to help reviewers easily identify discrepancies.

See Request Grades Changes (Teacher) for more details.

FOCUS-47238- Discipline Referrals: New Graphical Reporting Enhancements

This update introduces graphical reporting to the Discipline Referral screens and Referral Log reports. Users now have the option to display visual graphs summarizing referral data by Action Days, Discipline Codes, Location, Incident Time, and more. These graphs are dynamically generated based on selected filters and appear both directly on the student referral page and optionally on printed Referral Logs. Graphical summaries streamline data analysis, providing clear insights into referral patterns for individual students.

Technical Note: To display graphs correctly, ensure the following aliases are assigned to referral fields:

• Incident Time field must have the alias incident_time
• Location field must have the alias location

A migration script has been included to automate this setup:

• If no Incident Time field exists, the migration creates one with the alias incident_time.
• If exactly one Incident Time field already exists, the migration automatically updates its alias to incident_time.
• If multiple Incident Time fields exist, the migration will not modify these fields automatically. In this scenario, the correct field must have the alias manually set to incident_time.

For the Location graph to display, ensure the referral field intended for locations has its alias manually set to location.

FOCUS-47182- Focus Student Transfer

Focus now supports real-time student data transfers between participating districts. When a student moves from one Focus district to another, key information--such as demographics, grades, test scores, and immunizations--can be securely transferred and imported directly into the receiving districts system. Transfers can be initiated by the sending district via the Transfer To field or requested by the receiving district if no transfer was set. This streamlines enrollment, improves data accuracy, and provides a faster alternative to FASTER for inter-district student records exchange.

See Profiles > Students tab, Focus Transfers, and  System Preferences > Enrollment tab for more information.

FOCUS-46264- User Alerts: Added Alert Icons to User-Info Menu

This update introduces alert icons to Users. Alert icons configured via Edit Rules & Workflow for user fields now clearly display next to the user's name, along with associated hover-text descriptions. Icons appear based on defined rules or criteria and can be individually enabled or disabled, providing quick visual alerts about users' special statuses or conditions.

FOCUS-45972- Final Grades: Validation Added for Manually Entered Grade Titles Matching Grading Scale

This update enhances validation on the Final Grades screen to ensure manually entered grade titles align with valid titles from the assigned grade scale. When modifying the Grade Title, the system verifies the entry against the associated grading scale. If an invalid title is entered, a clear error message is displayed: "Grade title value '{value}' is not valid. Please enter one of the Grade Titles associated with the Grade Scale (case sensitive)." The titles "NG," "NC," and "P" are exempt from this validation. Additionally, if "N/A" is selected for the Grade Scale, the Grade Title validation is bypassed. This ensures accuracy and consistency in grading records.
