8/12/23 SIS Release Notes

Attendance & Messaging Enhancements:

When Hubbe Messaging is enabled, staff can now send messages directly to parents from the eSignature Attendance record in the "Unmarked" tab. To optimize convenience of this feature, staff can opt to send a message to one or more families using the student multi-select checkboxes. When sending the message, they will also have the option to add the message as a case note to the child's record, in addition to adding attachments. We hope this new tool will make the process of communicating with families who haven't signed in their child, and documenting this communication, much easier. 

Family Menu Adjustments:

• Updated the household's Family Menu to include one menu option titled "Enrollment" that has a sub-menu including the existing records "Subsidized Certification" and "Family Contracts" - Click here for screenshot of update
• Re-named the "Family Contracts" record in a household to "Private Pay" which is now located in the sub-menu for "Enrollment" in the Family menu - Click here for screenshot of update
