limited access page for children to record their lessons
If children could access a page to record lessons they've had, and then I could visit and confirm to update records, that would give them more responsibility and me more freedom.

Note to All in Attendance
Hi there,
I'd really like a note to all feature in the attendance area. Sometimes swift messages like "please bring extra clothes" or "Remember we're closed on Monday" warrant a note, but not an email. People are email glazed out. I like to email IMPORTANT things. These are just notes, but sometimes to the entire class. THANKS!4 votes -
Reading Mode
When using an iPad it would be nice to have a "reading" only mode so that when we scroll down we dont accidentally click on a lesson or change the status of a lesson. I was just trying to look through what all the kids are doing (I'm taking over a class and learning this new system) and any time I scrolled I accidentally clicked on multiple lessons and had to go back and undo a few of them. Thanks for allowing us to give feedback :)

Allow teachers to reorder children's names in different ways for different subjects and have it stick.
When I teach math, I have certain groups based on ability, as I do with word study. Having those names next to each other in their columns helps with the efficiency of planning, but they are not the same names I'd like to to have grouped together in language because children high in one area are often low in the other. It'd be great if the order the names appear could be set differently for each subject and saved that way.

When using the @allchildren option please add commas between each child's name.
I've noticed that when I use the @allchildren option, it lists the children but there are no commas. In order to make my sentence using each child's name grammatically correct (as teachers should do, of course!), I go back through and add commas manually... I'd love to save time and skip that step! Please add the commas when providing the list of children.

color-code the subject area text
I am trying out the new lesson plan feature (just learned about it at NAMTA, and am excited to give it a try!). So one idea to enhance it could be if the subject area texts were color-coded. Then at a glance one could see how the balance is in subject areas each day, (such as yikes, all math on Tuesday! )and then make it easier to adjust the flow accordingly as one wishes.
Thank you for all that you're doing to make it easier for us!

Allow pictures to be moved from one classroom to another.
We have some students who spend the morning in one class, and Extended Day in another. If I take a picture of a child from the other classroom through the app, I cannot tag the child.
3 votesThis is a good idea. It’s just a matter of prioritization. For now you can work around it by downloading the image and uploading it in the other classroom.

Application Confirmation Email
Please send an email to parents to confirm that their application has been submitted.
Ideally with a summary of their form and some ability for the school to customize an email to precede that form.
But at minimum, some generic email that confirms applications have been received.
We get so many calls and emails about this and it gums up the workflow.

Spanish flag
Would it be possible to add a "SP" flag for ¨Spanish¨ to the record keeping/lesson planning aspect to Transparent Classroom? Our classroom is bilingual and I'd like to be able to track which lessons I give in Spanish. Adding the option would be much faster than entering in all the lessons in Spanish.
Thanks for considering it!

Progress & Plan page stays OPEN OR COLLAPSED, as you last left it! Not defaulted as all collapsed!!
When planning, and especially when toggling between subject areas on the Progress&Plan page, I must see ALL lesson groups OPEN. However, sometimes I do want certain sections/lessons collapsed, but that should be an OPTION, NOT the default!!
And I'd like my preferences to be remembered the next time I open it so I don't have to redo it every time I get on that page!!
As the students progress during the year, the collapsed lesson groups will change, so Progress & Plan should maintain the page setup next time I open it, no matter how I left it.
It is…3 votesLooks like our previous fix was to remember this while on the progress & plan page, even if you were switching between areas. We have not implemented the ability to remember this between visits.

Leaving a Note before the child enters school from home
Hi All,
we would really like parents to be able to add a note about their child from their account in the morning, because we don't have that feature we had to create an email for each classroom so that parents can write to us.
Thanks!
2 votesDo you have parents sign their children in at the beginning of the day? They can add those notes there.

let parents see the same "photos" menu which teachers upload photos (left section).
You can just insert "photos" menu in the parents' view page. I think this is simple because the menu is already in the system.
when a parent click his child's name, he could see his own child's photos and activity lessons.... attendance...all the information are sorted by child. In the page, he would not see other children's photos so he can focus on his child. ( you don't have to change this child page)
** If the parent click "photos" in the left section, he also see all photos of the class. so he could get more information about the…

Be able to add in extra curricular activities, lessons and Unit studies
I would like to be able to add in extra curricular activities such as sports, going outs and field-trip in the weekly plan. As it is nice to see everything at a glance, could you also make it so that student lead interest and projects (and what they plan to do) can be added in.
Otherwise things need to be recorded in two different places.
Thank you.

Move children's records between schools
Is this already possible? I have a new student who I think is coming from another school with TC. Can I automatically move over his records to my classroom?
Thanks!

Can you say more? Where do you want to sort by years in the classroom / school? We could easily allow sorting by grade, perhaps that would work for you? We already allow this on Progress & Plan…

photo download feature
We have parents who make shutterfly yearbooks at the end of each year. We would like a way to share the photos taken throughout the year with them. Downloading all and giving it to them on a drive is how we have done it in the past from iphoto. We are open to other solutions just need a way for our parent volunteers to access them all.
