Release Notes - SchoolEngage - 25.2.15 [Sprint 26 Release]

Date

Feb 15, 2025

Version

25.2.15.0 [Sprint 26 Release]

Summary

Major rework to the district settings page to make things more accessible to Main Administrators.

New Features

Conditional Warnings (Warn-Ifs)

We’ve turned the scripting on forms that was responsible for tracking if a student is too young/old for a grade into a feature!

Admins can now set conditions on form fields to trigger a warning popup when user input matches predefined criteria.

For more information, please refer to our article on Warn Ifs.

Plugin Credential Management

Users with access to the district settings page can now update and manage their SchoolEngage Data plugin credentials to maintain connectivity. Additionally, they can add or manage a Single Sign-On (SSO) certificate to enable SSO from PowerSchool. For more information, please see our article on District Settings – Plugin Credentials.

Show Event Manager

Districts can now toggle the Event Manager button on the navigation bar for parents and staff. By default, this option is disabled. For more information, please see our article on District Settings – Interface Settings.

Adjust System Grades

Allow districts to adjust what grades are selectable across the system as well as change what those grades are named. For more information can also be found here: District Settings – Interface Settings.

Student List Auto-Expansion for Parents

A parent's student list in the navigation bar will now automatically expand upon login. This update helps minimize the creation of duplicate student records.

Disable Staff/Student/Guardian’s account in SchoolEngage

Administrators with access to the new permissions can now disable user accounts in SchoolEngage to remove the user’s access to SchoolEngage.

Improvements to existing features

District Settings Interface

The District Settings page interface has been overhauled to offer a more intuitive and visually appealing experience. The various settings have been categorized and put into tabs. To make changes, simply find the settings of choice, change it and click “Save Changes” at the top of the page. For a complete list of available features, please refer to our article: District Settings.

 

Contact Sync Enhancements

The contact sync now includes contacts actively linked to pre-registered students.

During the nightly sync, contacts with at least one active or pre-registered student will be synced into SchoolEngage, ensuring they are available for SMS and voice communications.

Important: To enable this functionality, an update to the SE-Data Plugin is required.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where some uploaded boundaries would be forced into the wrong area projection and appear in provinces they should not.
