We’re gearing up for the release of “Unified Views” in SchoolStatus Connect. This is a highly requested and anticipated update that will make finding your most desired Announcements and Events easier than ever.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Staff users can create and send Announcements, Newsletters, Conversations, and more with ANY of their audiences from ANY page on Connect.
- All users will be able to access ALL of their Announcements in ONE CENTRAL FEED, with the ability to filter for specific Announcements by school, classroom, and even student (for parents).
- Users can still visit specific classrooms or school pages by clicking the arrow next to their name.
- Events, Directories, and more will also include a Central Feed with the ability to filter by context or student.

“Unified View - Under Construction”
This project will consist of several smaller releases over the summer months that may temporarily impact your user experience and workflows. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope the impact is minimal over the summer months.
Here is a list of product updates relating to Unified View:
Announcement To-Line Updates
- Creators can now create and send an Announcement with ANY of their audiences from ANY page on Connect.
- The To-Line does not auto-populate with an audience anymore. The user will need to select an audience.
- Our team is currently discussing improvements to this user experience.
Universal Conversations Updates
- Users can now start a Conversation with ANY of their contacts from ANY page on Connect.
- Users now have a search bar to search for contacts within Conversations.
- Our team is currently discussing improvements to this user experience.
Context Switcher Updates
- The Context Navigation Menu has moved from the top of the page to the top of the feed.
- Context Navigation Menu now exists on the Home page, Activities, Directory, Classrooms, and more.
- The Context Navigation Menu will eventually become where a user can filter for specific Announcements, Activities, Directories, etc., or click to visit a specific classroom or school page.
Other Miscellaneous Updates
- The option to Upload a CSV for an Announcement is temporarily missing. A workaround is to visit your Directory and start an Announcement from the “Actions” drop-down.
- The Create and Conversation buttons are temporarily missing when on a “Home” page. Click on the SchoolStatus icon in the top, left corner to reset.
