I think that the new Report Card grade submission pages will be a big help to us when we write comments on every student each spring.
The Assessments question bank feature will lead to more of our teachers using it.

@Crystal Bruce It's hard to choose just one, but I think the pronoun features being added will really go a long way with the current trends we see in our day to day lives. This will help clients see that Blackbaud cares about each individual's experience with our products!

The assessment bank is exciting and hoping more teachers will now use. Pronunciation tool is rock star right now

@Crystal Bruce
Lots of exciting updates! hard to choose, but I love that the transcript will soon be able to be requested from the school directly from the checklist! BUT the Common Records Engine will help so much with the work flow between RE and Core!!!1 -
I am with Brian; the grade entry page update will be huge for us.

I'm excited about the grading updates also, particularly the narrative comment screen which will be very helpful to our early years teachers.

This was a great product briefing! I am very excited about the grading page enhancements, the planned attendance things, the ability to edit text on school forms… I mean I could keep going! It's nice to see the ideas being implemented.

@Crystal Bruce Excellent product briefing! I'm excited about the future assessment question bank, the incorporation of AI into assignment creation for teachers, and the Common Records Engine.

@Crystal Bruce can't wait for the Common Records Engine!

@Vicky Lopuchowycz What was the attendance improvement update? I missed that part.

@Crystal Bruce The report card grade entry update is going to be a big improvement (honestly anything at this point that moves to a SKY ux is a big improvement – hint, hint, pushpages!!!). I am also thrilled to know that we are finally getting rolling due dates for contracts, and I'm also intrigued by the hints that Enrollment Management is going to eventually get some more hooks into the API. I know that's a little ways down the road, but I'm thinking that could have some big benefits for candidate communication instead of needing to rely solely on pushpages, official notes and data exports the way we are doing now.
I am also interested to see exactly how the transcript request works. We won't be able to use it for all applicants, because of how our local public school system is set up (long story), but depending on how it's implemented there might be a way we can utilize it for a certain subset of applicants.

Will this be available to view after? I have a flight to catch but registered.0 -
@Crystal Bruce the Common Records Engine! I've been waiting for close to 10 years…so excited that it is now in sight, if not with a definitive date yet.

@Crystal Bruce
I'm excited about the grading updates and the transcript request. I also like that I can assign a student checklist directly from their profile in enrollment management. That will save me some steps with new students! Lots of good stuff!1 -
@Coco Parham - they're all in the works or future enhancements that are planned but there is going to be an attendance reminder for faculty, there will be an enhancements to the attendance screen and editing abilities for faculty. Then there is a whole new attendance hub planned. It all looks pretty cool. It's towards the end of the recording that was sent out in case you want to check it out!

@Vicky Lopuchowycz Thanks! I dont usually do attendance and wanted to forward this info on to Student Life Office, who would be interested.

@Crystal Bruce I'm excited about the new assessment capabilities--AI generated questions, question bank! We also use BrightArrow so am interested in seeing those updates.

@Crystal Bruce so much to get excited for! Common Record; reminder for attendance to faculty; coming contract updates (due date in 2 weeks), etc.

@Crystal Bruce Having waited over a decade for tighter integration between RE and EMS I am glad it is getting closer. It seems the idea of merging the two databases is finally totally dead. This seems to have taken the NXT bulk mailer to replace PushPages off the timeline. Curious what is the new plan for getting rid of pushages.
Also, BrightArrow integration looks interesting.

@Crystal Bruce Definitely looking forward to the Common Records Engine, the Grading page updates, and the attendance reminders!

@Crystal Bruce COMMON RECORDS ENGINE! I think we need to have a Launch Party when this is officially released. We've been waiting for this for so long. Can't wait to see it come to fruition!
