FOCUS-33699- E-signature size/display issue

The E-Signature component has the ability to be sized and therefore the size of the actual signature and printed name and date should dynamically adjust up or down based on settings. The actual signature & printed name should be inside the size of the component. The printed component should stay where it is on the form and not shift on the print media.

FOCUS-39749- Community App: Respect Teacher Class Section Names in Attendance

This branch enhances the Community Mobile App by integrating Class Section Names defined in Teacher Preferences. When sections are not grouped for attendance purposes, the mobile app will now display the customized section titles in the Period dropdown on the Overview tab. Before this update, the mobile app did not reflect teachers' edited class section names.

FOCUS-39707- Attendance Fields: Correct Output of District-Wide Attendance Totals in Advanced Reports & Letter Templates

This branch addresses a discrepancy in the display of District Wide attendance totals. Previously, the totals varied based on selected options. For instance:

1) In advanced reports or the "print letters and send emails" feature, users had to "search all schools" to obtain the District Wide total.

2) On report card letterhead templates, the "grades from concurrent schools" option had to be selected to view the District Wide total.

With this update, the field will consistently display a District Wide total, irrespective of the search options chosen. This ensures a more uniform and predictable experience for users.

FOCUS-39693- Letter Queue: Make Consistent Style for Computed Fields/Tables from Print Letters

This branch resolves an inconsistency between the Letter Queue and Print Letters styles. Previously, there was a variation in the presentation of computed fields and computed tables, leading to discrepancies in how letters appeared when printed. With this update, both styles will render consistently, ensuring a uniform appearance of printed letters.

FOCUS-39613- Discipline: New "Exclude Absent Students" Feature on Reward Positive Behavior (Teacher View)

This branch introduces a new feature on the Discipline > Reward Positive Behavior page (teacher view). A checkbox labeled "Exclude Absent Students" has been added. When checked, students who are absent will not appear in the list, streamlining the process for teachers when recognizing positive behavior.

See Positive Behaviors and Reward Positive Behavior (Teacher Programs) for more information.

FOCUS-38998- Parent Notifications: Correct Display of Information in Email for Referrals

This branch rectifies an issue concerning Parent Email Notifications regarding referrals. Previously, the email sent to parents contained fields that the parent did not have view permissions for. With this correction, the parent will now only receive information for fields in the referral that align with the specific field permissions granted by the school district. This improvement ensures that parents receive accurate and relevant information while maintaining the privacy and security of sensitive data in accordance with the designated field permissions.

FOCUS-38237- Student Final Grades: Ensure Course Number Updates when Changing Course Title on Existing Entry

This branch addresses an issue on the Student Final Grades, GPA & Class Rank page. Previously, when multiple updates were made to the Course Title of an existing entry, the course number was not updating accordingly. With this fix, any changes to the Course Title will result in the correct update of the associated course number, ensuring accuracy and consistency in the records.
