FOCUS-40166- Communication Platform: Better Handling of Student Messages to Teachers
This branch addresses an inconsistency where a teacher receives a portal alert for a new message but can't find the message in their inbox. The issue arises from two scenarios:
1. If a teacher sends a message to a student and later, that student's schedule record with that particular teacher gets deleted, and then the student replies back to the initial message.
2. When a teacher, with privileges to search the entire school system, sends a message to a student who isn't enrolled in any of their classes. After the student responds, the teacher gets an alert but cannot view the message in their inbox.
Post-branch updates ensure that: Messages from students, irrespective of their current scheduling with the teacher, will be correctly displayed in the teacher's inbox; for clarity, students not currently enrolled in any of the teacher's sections will have their associated school name displayed beneath their message. This provides better context for the teacher about the origin of the message.
FOCUS-40125- Communication Platform: Improve Fields Included in Attendance Notifications
Prior to this update, the period, code, and nickname fields were missing in the attendance notifications within the Communication Platform. With the introduction of this branch, these fields are now appropriately populated, ensuring that communications regarding attendance are more comprehensive.

The Online Enrollments screen has been updated to show more accurate data.

This ensures that administrators see the most recent and relevant data when reviewing online enrollments.
FOCUS-40085- Communication Platform: Prevent Duplicate Attendance Messages
This branch introduces a constraint to the Communication Platform, specifically targeting automated attendance messages. The primary purpose of this enhancement is to eliminate the possibility of sending duplicate attendance notifications to recipients.
FOCUS-40077- Discipline: Improved Gradelevel Selection in Category Breakdown
The Discipline Category Breakdown report has been enhanced for better accuracy and usability. When using the "All Schools" option, the grade level selection logic has been refined. Instead of pulling grade levels from individual schools, it now compiles a distinct list of grade levels from across the entire organization based on their shortnames.
FOCUS-40066- Scheduling: Update Final Grades Logic on Course Progression
This branch updates the Course Progression's final grades column to automatically show the most recent grade by date.
FOCUS-40060- Billing: Include Additional Fees in Quote Course
This branch enhances the Billing Print Quote screen by ensuring that additional fees are included in the total amount displayed. Previously, these additional fees were excluded.
See Quote Course for more information.
FOCUS-40046- School Choice: Enhanced Setup Sub-Permissions
This branch augments the School Choice Module by introducing granular sub-permissions, offering clients enhanced control over profile access. With these new sub-permissions, specific aspects of the School Choice Setup can be precisely managed. For instance, while certain teams might be granted access to contribute to specific setup components, other sensitive areas, such as capacity and program configurations, can be more tightly controlled. This enhancement empowers system administrators to distribute responsibilities efficiently while maintaining stringent control over crucial settings. Additionally, a migration is incorporated to ensure that existing permissions to sub-tabs are preserved based on the prior access rights to School Choice Setup.
See School Choice Setup for more information.
FOCUS-40018- Classes For Sale: Improved Calculation of Available Seats
This branch improves the available seats calculation in Classes for Sale. Previously, the system only referenced the 'total seats' set directly on the course period record (configured in "Courses & Sections"). With this update, the system will prioritize the 'total_seat' count set on the store item component record when it's provided.
FOCUS-40015- Attendance: Display Logging Field Entry Options in Kiosk from Create Permissions
This branch ensures only logging fields the end-user has create permissions to will appear for selection when configuring an Attendance Kiosk.
FOCUS-40007- Attendance: Respect Display Name Settings in Verification Sheets/Sub Rosters
With this update, the Verification Sheets and Sub Rosters will now adhere to the end-user's preferred Student Name Display settings. This means that if an end-user has customized how student names are displayed in other parts of the system, these preferences will be consistently applied to the Verification Sheets/ Sub Rosters.
See Attendance Verification Sheets/Sub Rosters (Teachers) and Verification Sheets/ Sub Rosters (Admin) for more details.
FOCUS-40004- School Choice: New Setting to Further Customize School Choice Applications
This branch brings added customization capabilities to the School Choice Application. For schools and districts wanting to tailor the application's language to better suit their needs, a new preference has been introduced within the School Choice Setup. This preference lets users modify the "Current Magnet/SPA" label that appears on the application. Should users opt not to customize this, the system will automatically revert to the default "Current Magnet/SPA" label, ensuring that existing functionality remains uninterrupted.
See School Choice Setup > Setting Preferences for more information.
FOCUS-40000- Grad. Req. Report: Rename Merit Designation to Align with FLDOE Changes
This branch reflects updates to the naming conventions as prescribed by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE).

This ensures that Florida customers are in alignment with the latest terminology used by the FLDOE.
See Graduation Requirements Report > Viewing the Graduation Requirements Report for an Individual Student for more information.

This branch refines the handling of content input into rich text editors that support HTML.
FOCUS-39952- Gradebook: Respect Hidden Student Indicator in Gradebook
With this branch, the system will hide "Hidden Students" from teachers in the Gradebook. The Hidden and Protected Student feature allows districts to restrict access to student information. The Hidden Student feature is used to completely hide a students (past or present) information in order to prevent access to their information or even confirmation that they were/are enrolled at the school. The Protected Student feature restricts access to the students Addresses and Contacts for the sake of security.
FOCUS-39934- Communication Platform: Include Automated Cron Messages in Inbox
Previously, automated messages generated by the cron task would sometimes be sent to recipients without appearing in their inbox, yet the new message alert would persist. This update ensures that if a message is sent, it will consistently appear in the recipient's inbox,
FOCUS-39896- Communication Platform: Enhanced User Experience in Mobile App
This branch brings several enhancements to the Communication Module in the Mobile App:
1. The Envelope icon has been optimized for better user navigation. Instead of directing users to the Inbox, it now takes them straight to the Communication Menu, streamlining the process for composing a new message.
2. A notification bubble indicating the total count of unread messages will now be prominently displayed next to the Inbox menu item.
3. Users now have the capability to modify image attributes directly within the app.
4. The layout has been refined, providing better alignment for various message options such as Secure Email, Add Log Records, Copy Self, and more.
5. The text area for the message body has been expanded for easier typing and viewing.
Overall, these updates aim to enhance user experience, making communication on the go more intuitive and efficient.
FOCUS-39863- Communication Platform: New Determination of Eligible Message Recipients
This branch addresses various inconsistencies related to the messaging dropdown selection in the compose screen:
1) Teachers who were excluded from messaging search would be selected from teacher completion screens, but would then be absent on the compose screen.
2) When using the magnifying glass search, if a student from a previous year marked as inactive was selected, they wouldn't be displayed on the compose screen.
3) Students who changed classes within the academic year could still see their former teachers in the compose dropdown.
4) Students could also view teachers from their previous enrollments.
With the implementation of this branch, these issues have been resolved to ensure accurate representation of selected recipients in the compose screen.
FOCUS-39831- Calendar: Improved Display of Events by Session School Selection
With this update, the portal's "Upcoming Events" calendar has been refined for a more tailored user experience. Now, when a user logs in, events they created for schools other than the one they have currently selected at the top right will not be displayed.

With the activation of the "Enable All Schools checkbox when linking a SESIR" preference, the "All Schools" option is now reliably presented to users across all relevant interfaces.
See Discipline Incidents > Linking a Referral for more information.

This branch addresses the positioning issues of SwiftBox, especially on mobile devices when the virtual keyboard becomes active. By refining the positioning logic, SwiftBox is now better optimized for smaller screens, preventing it from rendering off the screen.
FOCUS-39340- Elementary Honor Roll adjustments
This branch refines the Honor Roll determination process. When the Honor Roll configuration has the "Include Standard Grades" option enabled, the system will now prioritize Standard Grades over existence of Student Report Card Grades.
See Honor Roll Setup > Adding a New Honor Roll Type for more information.

This branch enhances the error messaging for end-users using the Add a Student program.

This improvement aims to assist users in providing valid email addresses, leading to a smoother and error-free experience while using the program.
FOCUS-40078- Portal Page: Display Revision Number Enhancement Non-Production Instances
To aid administrators in identifying the current revision on non-production sites, this value is now displayed over the logo image.
FOCUS-39987- SSS: Improved Translation Generation on Supplemental Forms
This branch extends language support for the SSS (Special Student Services) events, ensuring that when a specific language is chosen for printing, not only do regular steps utilize the appropriate translated form, but now, supplemental forms will also pull from the correct translated version. This enhancement guarantees that all parts of the SSS event, including supplemental forms, respect the user's language selection,
FOCUS-39979- SSS: Improved Validation in Schedule of Services
This branch enhances the validation mechanism within the Schedule of Services step of the IEP Event to include checks for "Specially Designed PE" and "Adaptive PE" options under Related Services. When either "Adaptive PE" or "Specially Designed PE" is chosen, the validation criteria are met, and users can proceed without issue. However, if neither of these options is selected, the system will display an error message stating, "A Related Service for Specially Designed PE or Adaptive PE must be created." Furthermore, the functionality of this validation is designed to be dynamic. If additional schedules are introduced in the future, the validation will adjust and take into account the new option(s) as required, ensuring that the system remains consistent and accurate in its checks.
