  • I watched the briefing. I was excited to see the view as a student and the at risk students list. I think both of those additions will be helpful to the teacher. I get asked about them all the time. I also thought the Faculty Assignment enhancements looked interesting as well as a better connection to Google Classroom.

    From the attendance side, I think it will be helpful to allow parents to add reasons for absences. This seems like a real time saver. Overall, it was very interesting. I do struggle sometimes with static slides because I am trying to understand what the speaker is talking about. Thanks for the sessions.


  • @Crystal Bruce I think the most exciting news I had already heard - K12 User Conference is coming back! Oddly enough, one of the upcoming changes that I'm really happy about is phone number formatting. In product refunds in Tuition Management will be amazing, and I'm looking forward to some of the Grading Management changes. I'm also excited for Add-in tiles in education management.

  • @Shannon Krise - I am 100% with you on the phone number formatting. Such a little thing consumes volumes of time to ensure standardization and a professional presentation. Have been waiting for this in K12 since it was launched.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I'm so excited about phone number formatting and the enhancements to the grading area - it's long overdue and functionality we lost from EE.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    There were so many things that my team is looking forward to - phone number and user name formatting, generate contracts from a student’s profile, BBTM updates from Core, impersonation list, etc. In short, exciting improvements in multiple areas.

    Thank you to the Blackbaud team!

    @Crystal Bruce so many amazing enhancements coming! My top five are:

    • Common Records Engine
    • Tuition Managment In Product Refund
    • Enrollment Management Candidate Portal Refresh
    • Parent Initiated Attendance
    • Financial Aid Management direct connection with the IRS
  • @Crystal Bruce So excited to be able to eventually bulk edit grading plans! Also looking forward to the view as student feature! Lots of great updates.

  • @Crystal Bruce so much goodness for Education Management! I'm excited for:

    phone formatting

    Impersonating a student (seeing student view of classes, etc.)

    Generating contracts from a record

    Information updates for families flowing from Education Management to Tuition Management

  • @Crystal Bruce Can't wait for the phone formatting! Also, eagerly awaiting the Common Records Engine! The refund option in Tuition Management is a real perk.

  • @Crystal Bruce Looking forward to visit/interview settings granularity and grading setup bulk option changes for dates, and enroll a group refresh.

  • @Crystal Bruce I am looking forward to the phone formatting, visit updates, checklist view for parents and more! Is the Common Records Engine taking the place of connect RE?
