Do not share parents' private information with their class, before they log in to TC for the first time.
Please do NOT share a parent's private information until after they log in for the first time.
When a parent logs in for the first time, they get a chance to check "Do Not Share" next to their personal information. However, if they have been invited, but never logged in, other parents can see their email, phone number, and address.
In our case, this was private information entrusted to our school when they filled out the application form. It shouldn't be disseminated to other parents without their consent.
I can edit each parent as soon as I invite them and…

Tag children from other classes
I would like the ability to tag children from other classes. If we have pictures from before or aftercare, we are unable to tag those easily. During the summer, I reviewed my teacher's pictures to tag and was not able to do so because the children had been moved up to a new class.

Improve the children import process
I just tried the process to import children. Here are my thoughts:
- the column headers in the CSV file are not in the same order as in the mapping (Step 2)
- would be convenient if mapping could be done automatically even the first time, if column names match exactly
- from the sample file, it is not clear what values to set:
- what is the date format for the birthday?
- what are the values for Gener? male/female. m/f? capital letters?
- when you hit Save at point 3 (session), the page jumps back to the top of the page. might be confusing,…
1 voteI think we’ve fixed what we’re going to fix for now. Basically most of what you suggested. These were very helpful, concrete, bite sized suggestions. Thank you!

Ability to print parent directory by class
We would like the ability to print a directory by class as we put a hard copy in each classroom for emergencies. The student information, when printed, only shows one parent phone number and we have many with multiple contact numbers (work, home, cell, etc).

headings on progress adn plan

reminder or floating save button on conference form
We have often put a lot of work into a conference form and inadvertently lost it when switching screens to check information on a child from another part of transparent classroom.
The reminder to save or floating save button is very helpful in the other parts of the program. It would be a lifesaver in the conference form.
6 votesThis is done. There is a reminder to save on conference reports now.

Download all photos to computer
It looks like I can only download one photo at a time to my computer. I would love to download all the photos at the same time and I don't think this is possible (?).
Also, it would be great to also be able to download 'new photos' (i.e. tag photos that have already been downloaded before by me so I can choose not to download them again).

Create Subsets of students
I want to create a subset of students. "All" includes the whole class. How can I make a "K Students" group?

Change terminology of toilet daily tracking
On the second column the choices would be:
Declined
Tried
Urinated
Bowel movementThe term "wet" doesn't seem to accurately describe urination. If they are using the potty or toilet they would not be getting wet, hopefully. :). Also the boys do not always sit so simplifying the subject would also help.
In the first column BM could also be expanded to bowel movement.
3 votesI believe we’e made improvements all around to this. Hope they work for you.

Auto save for toilet daily tracking
Auto save the data from the drop down menu as soon as it is entered. Example: when "sat + wet" is selected it saves immediately instead of requiring the save button be applied.

A place to follow-up with follow-up work in the elementary.
Whether it is assigned follow-up or child generated, I would love a place where I could record the chosen work, the children involved and the due date. I am currently keeping track of this on paper, but it would be nice to have it here.

Auto notification email to staff that new form has been submitted by parent
Alert the person who assigned a form to a parent that the parent has filled out a requested form instead of having to go to the child and see if it's been done.
17 votesHi there! It’s possible to customize which staff member receives the notification that a form has been received. To do that, go to [Admin] > [Notifications], and select the staff members name from the drop down menu next to “Form Received”. You can choose the school email address, the classroom email address, or a specific person’s email address. If you have any questions about that, don’t hesitate to reach out to info@transparentclassroom.com.

Direct link to sign in page for parents
Currently when parents receive a notification of a form, it only links them to transparentclassroom.com instead of providing a link that goes one step further and makes it quicker and easier for parents to sign in.
3 votesThe email now takes them directly to the form. If they aren’t signed in, they will be redirected to the sign in page.

Add option to print attendance report for all school rather than by class.
Right now you can only print the attendance report per each class. It would be easier to be able to have a report that includes all classes/students all together.

Bring back a couple features
I noticed that a few things have changed when I was adding notes in the activity section today (2/6/17). One, misspelled words use to be underlined in red and now they are not. Second, when typing lesson names several possibilities use to auto populate but now the search feature is not as intuitive. For example, I typed clock and nothing came up but I was sure that lesson was apart of our Lesson tab, when I looked up the lesson I realized it was entitled "the clock". So I had to type the lesson name exactly like that to get…

Billable Aftercare
Sometimes our students are in aftercare because they have a sibling in an afterschool program and we offer complementary aftercare so they do not get billed but they are still signed in so when it comes to billing for aftercare it is challenging to decipher who is to be billed and who is not. It would be helpful to have some kind of check box or something indicating either the complementary aftercare or after care to be billed so that when I print the report it makes my life much easier.
1 voteHi Patrica,
You can customize each child’s “Normal Hours” by going to their profile and adding their schedule. Children who are within their normal hours will not show up in the minute totals for late pick up on the Attendance page, if that is what you use to calculate aftercare billing. Let us know if that doesn’t work for your school at info@transparentclassroom.com.
