Welcome to the uEducateUs 1.26 release

Introduction

The release notes have been set up to allow the different user types to easily find the issues that are relevant to them. For example, if you are a parent, you only need to look in the Parents category to find all issues that affect you.

The focus of this release was:

  • The introduction of a comprehensive Case Notes module within the uEducateUs system.

    • The new case notes module allows schools to easily record and track on-going student checks, assessments, interventions etc. Features include the following:

      • The ability to restrict which admins and teachers are able to view and create certain case note categories.

      • The ability to add subcategories to case note categories, to allow flexible note recording and retrieval.

      • Case notes can be linked to one another, allowing for clear ongoing tracking of certain student issues.

      • A customisable summary report that lists the students who have case notes recorded against them.

  • The default Attendance Codes have been updated to comply with the Department Of Education (D.O.E.) 2020 requirements.

  • Various other improvements and issue resolutions.

We encourage your feedback, as this feedback continues to help drive the direction and content of our release cycles.
