FOCUS-50364- Student Schedule: Improved Default for "Enrolled" Date

This update adjusts the Student Schedule screen so that when adding a course period, the "Enrolled" date now defaults to the start date of the selected marking period. However, if the marking period has already begun, the enrolled date will continue to default to the current effective date. This ensures enrollment dates accurately reflect marking period timelines, streamlining scheduling tasks.

FOCUS-50356- Add a Student: New "Edit Address" Permission

This update introduces a new permission, "Edit Address," under the Add Student settings. Previously, users adding students could modify address fields regardless of their Student Address permissions.

This permission is automatically enabled for users who previously had the "Add Student" permission, ensuring continuity of current behavior.

See Users > Profiles > Students for more information.

FOCUS-50336- Scheduling Waitlist: Resolved Error on Removal Reason Updates

Additionally, an error message is displayed if a comment is entered for a student without recording attendance, ensuring attendance data integrity.

FOCUS-50042- Contact Detail Flags: New Option to Hide Flags

This update introduces a new option to hide Contact Detail Flags when adding new contacts. Previously, flags appeared even if all visibility options were deselected. Now, users have an explicit checkbox in "Contact Detail Flags" under Address Fields to toggle visibility using the new "Hidden" check box, providing clearer control over which flags appear when entering contact information.

See Address Fields > Contact Detail Flags for more details.

FOCUS-50002- USPS Address Validation: Migrated to OAuth-Based REST API

This update transitions the USPS address verification integration from the deprecated XML API to the new OAuth-based REST API. Districts currently using USPS address validation must enter new API credentials under System Preferences > District Preferences to restore functionality. Once credentials are saved, the "Use USPS Address Validation" preference and the "Override USPS Validation" profile permission will become available. Address validation behavior remains consistent with prior functionality.

See System Preferences > District Preferences tab and Enrollment tab, and Profiles > Students tab.

FOCUS-49753- School Choice Report: Improved Application Submission Tracking

This update enhances the School Choice Report by changing the "Submitted Date" field to utilize a timestamp (created_at) rather than a date. This allows districts to more accurately track and organize application submissions based on the precise time they were received, supporting better management of first-come, first-served placements.

See School Choice Reports for more information.

FOCUS-49076- Hall Pass: Add Ability to Edit Closed Passes with System Preference

This branch enhances the Hall Pass module by adding the ability for authorized users to edit a student's pass time after it has expired. The feature requires both a new system preference ("Edit Ended Pass Time") and a new profile permission ("Edit Ended Pass Time"). When enabled, users with permission can edit the "End Pass Time" column in the Inactive Tab. The user can manually enter a new End Time or click on "Use Pass Duration" which automatically changes the end time so that the student is no longer late; both options require a Note before saving. This supports better tracking of passes when time extensions are granted but not previously logged.

See System Preferences > General tab, Hall Pass Setup > Hall Pass System Preferences, Profiles > Permissions Explained, Hall Passes > Using the Inactive Tab (Admin), and Hall Passes > Using the Inactive Tab (Teacher) for more information.

FOCUS-48970- Transcripts: Courses In Progress Display Across Enrollments

This update improves how Courses in Progress are displayed on transcripts for dual enrolled students. Previously, the list was limited to the marking periods from the school selected in the top-right session. With this change, the system now considers marking periods across all of the student's active enrollments, ensuring a complete view of in-progress courses.

FOCUS-48318- District Report Cards & Transcripts: Don't Display Link on Parent/Student Portal if no Grades Exist for Selected Marking Period/Type

This change updates District Report Cards and Templates so that if a student has no grades for the selected marking period and report card type, the report link will no longer appear in the Student or Parent Portal when published.

FOCUS-43311- Address & Contacts: Copy From Linked Students Enhancement

This branch introduces a new Copy From feature in Address & Contacts, allowing users with Edit Address & Contact permissions to easily copy addresses and contacts from linked student/sibling records. The option will appear when a sibling has a different address or contact entry, and users can select which records to copy. When copying a contact, all contact flags will reset to ensure critical designations like Custody or Emergency are intentionally selected. This feature also respects school permissions, ensuring users can only copy data from students at schools they have access to.

See Student Info > Copying Addresses and Contacts from Linked Students for more information.

FOCUS-50487- SSS Module: Improved Handling of Form Triggers

This update enhances the handling of the setStudentLogField form trigger within the SSS module.

Now, the form trigger parameters have been refined to prevent duplicate entries, ensuring accurate and consistent data recording when multiple form triggers are utilized.

FOCUS-48905- SSS Module: Image Loading Resolved for Event Printing

This update resolves an issue where images and logos were not loading when printing SSS Events using Chrome on Windows 10. Images and logos now display correctly in printed SSS Events, ensuring accurate and professional documentation.

FOCUS-45373- SSS: Improved Handling of Multiple IEPs and Progress Reports

This update improves the handling of Progress Monitoring events within the SSS module. Previously, when multiple IEPs were created sequentially, existing progress reports would incorrectly link only to the latest IEP. Now, the system creates distinct tabs within the Progress Monitoring event--one for each associated IEP--clearly maintaining accurate relationships between multiple IEP events and their respective progress reports.
