This update introduces a range of enhancements, including Homepage layout updates, Homepage Widgets, and a new Widget page for teachers and parents. This update also introduces improvements to the app’s central navigation, resulting in a smoother and more user-friendly browsing experience.
Improved Navigation
All bottom menu pages (Home, Search, Inbox, Quick Add, and Me) will save the last page that was accessed. In other words, when users navigate to another bottom menu page and return to the previous one, they will land on the exact page they were previously on. This ensures that users never lose the page they were previously on.
Widget Page
We have added a new Widget page to the left of the Homepage. To access this page, swipe from left to right on the Homepage. This page showcases some of the new widgets that were introduced in this update. Teachers and parents can add, remove, and rearrange widgets according to their preferences. Widgets can be moved interchangeably between the Homepage and the Widget page providing users with seamless flexibility and customization options.
Widget and Homepage Customization
Teachers and parents can customize the Homepage and Widget page by tapping on the cog icon located at the top left of the Homepage. From the customization page, a simplified view of all widgets is displayed providing seamless drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to rearrange widgets to their liking. Users can also move widgets between the Homepage and the Widget page using drag-and-drop. Widgets are removed by tapping on the “-” icon at the top right of each card.
Widgets are added by selecting the + icon on the top right of the Customization page. This will trigger the Add Widget bottom popover. From here, users can select the widgets they want to add. Widgets are automatically added to the current page.

By selecting on the widget parents can view additional attendance information including a summary of their child’s Homeroom and Class Attendance for the current academic year and contact information for the Homeroom Advisor.
2. Project Deadlines Widget: Each project the child is participating in has a dedicated widget. As an example, projects like TOK Exhibition, TOK Essay, and EE will each have separate widgets.

Aug 7, 2023
This update introduces a range of enhancements, including Homepage layout updates, Homepage Widgets, and a new Widget page for teachers and parents. This update also introduces improvements to the app’s central navigation, resulting in a smoother and more user-friendly browsing experience.
Improved Navigation
All bottom menu pages (Home, Search, Inbox, Quick Add, and Me) will save the last page that was accessed. In other words, when users navigate to another bottom menu page and return to the previous one, they will land on the exact page they were previously on. This ensures that users never lose the page they were previously on.
Widget Page
We have added a new Widget page to the left of the Homepage. To access this page, swipe from left to right on the Homepage. This page showcases some of the new widgets that were introduced in this update. Teachers and parents can add, remove, and rearrange widgets according to their preferences. Widgets can be moved interchangeably between the Homepage and the Widget page providing users with seamless flexibility and customization options.
Widget and Homepage Customization
Teachers and parents can customize the Homepage and Widget page by tapping on the cog icon located at the top left of the Homepage. From the customization page, a simplified view of all widgets is displayed providing seamless drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to rearrange widgets to their liking. Users can also move widgets between the Homepage and the Widget page using drag-and-drop. Widgets are removed by tapping on the “-” icon at the top right of each card.
Widgets are added by selecting the + icon on the top right of the Customization page. This will trigger the Add Widget bottom popover. From here, users can select the widgets they want to add. Widgets are automatically added to the current page.
