tagging a certain group
In the activity area we currently enter individuals at work. I am wondering if there could be a way to tag an entire group listed as the 3 year olds or the four year olds or five years olds.

Commenting on activity feed
It would be nice to be able to comment on posts made in the activity feed. This would be a way for the teacher and assistant to communicate about specific lessons, observations, etc.

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.

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.

Add W, Th. F Day tab
When adding schedules to TC, its frustrating to have to make 3 separate entries for my students who have a 3 day a week schedule that is W-F rather than M-W. Can you add W-F to the "Days" drop down menu for attendance and late drop-off pick-up calibration, please?
Thank you :)

Send Invitation Again Button
When looking at the Parent Directory you can invite parents again individually, but it would be great to be able to select a group of parents and resend the invite all at once.

Prompt to add lesson
It would be helpful if when a teacher added a #InTheNameOfTheLessonThatWasNotCurrentlyAddedInTheLessonsTabThatTheyWouldGetAPromptToAddThatLessonAndTheyWouldBeAbleToSelectTheGroup. Ha ha. That's what happens when you use speech to text and say the word #.

Schedule tours and observations
It would be great if prospective parents can create an account and schedule a tour through TransparentClassroom. If we can embed a form on our website like we do with the admission application then we can keep better track of prospective families. We have so many people coming to tour and visit our School, including child visits and it would be easier to track everything in one place and convert them from a prospective parent to an enrolled even before the application is submitted.
1 voteThe applications process is quite different from school to school. Some schools do schedule observations using google forms. Here is an example at Lighthouse Montessori: http://www.lighthousemontessori.com/observation/

Entering Personal information / Creating Family members
When setting up the account you should set up the family members first... Names, Phones, addresses, etc. So that when we're completing forms about emergency contacts or pickup lists we could just click who we want and not have to enter the same personal contact information multiple times.

Create a way to share the lessons presented with parents without showing each parent all of the students who received the lesson.

Automatically add the date of pictures uploaded using photo data
Right now we have to go back to our photos archive on our server to get the date of a picture we've taken. It would be a great help if the pictures we upload were sorted by the date given by the photo.
Thanks!

CSV file Address Export
Hi! It would help us a lot if the CSV export of address field in the design forms could be separated into 3 or 4 different columns, rather than one. For example address 1, address 2, address 3, postcode.

View Lesson Reference Sheet by Guide instead of Classroom
One of our special teachers lists her lessons in transparent classroom. This will be helpful at conference time. They appear on my lesson reference sheet with my lessons. I find it confusing to see both sets of lessons. I wish that I could choose an option of "my lessons" or "all lessons" like I see when I go to the daily lesson plan screen. That way, I could choose "my lessons" so that I could only see the lessons that I taught.
Thank you,
Sister Jacinta Coscia, FSE

Bottles - offered amount to start in daily tracking
I would like an option in the bottle section of daily tracking for infants to include a way to indicate the initial amount of milk that was in the bottle when served. Currently, you can only record how many ounces the baby drank.

When starting to use Transparent Classroom have a way to indicate lessons given in the past or mastery achieved, w/o it looking like now
I'm starting to use this awesome product, and I find myself inputting lessons given prior to when I used it, or activities which were mastered previously, just so that it looks "right" to me when I look at progress and planning. When I run reports, which I have to turn in to administration, it looks like everything happened just now. I guess I could manually go in and change the dates, but it would be nice if there were an option which would indicate prior knowledge.
4 votesWe are working on adding this functionality. In the meantime, feel free to record the times when you started and stopped entering lessons from the past. You can then shoot us an email and we can change the dates just for those presentations for you.

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 class activities and Montessori lessons even though his child has not participate or presented in the photo.
Teachers cannot take every child's photo at every event or activity but may want to share it with parents.
For teachers who don't want to share this, I think they can check "private" box when they add caption.
If you make this work, I don't have to make another documents to share the class activities with parents such as newsletters. I want to focus only one work; transparent classroom or making newsletters. I made newsletter before using Transparentclassroom. why do I have to do similar work twice?
I hope you understand my suggestion and other teachers and parents would benefit from this idea. Plus, you don't have to create something new. Just extend the "photos" menu (left section) to parents.

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!
