Export Attendance
Now that we can keep track of attendance is there going to be anything added in which we can export the attendance for the class? Or at the very least, check it on the website. We can take attendance, but I haven't seen a way to go back and look at an overview of attendance either by student or by class.

I love your software and it has made my life so much better! THANK YOU
I have a suggestion:
Allow to add tabs to my lesson plans where I can show the 5E format
or design a 5E format for everyone to use as an option1 voteWe offer support for the 5E Instructional Model in two ways!
First, you can customize your lesson sections (Go To > Display Settings) to create a unique tab for each step in the model. Second, if you enable your Instructional Strategies tab, you can then include the 5E Model as a teacher strategy for your lessons.

Allow units to be assigned to TEACHER, and not a class/year.
Create a TEACHER lesson bank, organized by units. Allow teachers to assign the lesson they create to a unit, and be able to access that unit/lesson bank from ANY class ANY year.
3 votesYou can now create Lesson Banks, with units and lessons, to store curriculum outside of your class schedule.
Lesson Linking, when combined with Lesson Banks, provides teachers and schools with a powerful curriculum management tool. Teachers can collaborate on the development of curriculum (classes, units, lessons), store the curriculum in lesson banks, and set permissions for who can view or edit the banks.
Teachers can then either COPY or LINK the lesson banks into their plans. COPY will allow teachers to create a new set of lessons that are solely for their individual use. LINK will establish a link to the source lesson, such that any changes made will automatically show in both the source and the target lessons of the link.

I like that I can now see assignments from Classroom in Planbook. It shows up at the top of the page for the due date. It would be great if the class on Classroom could be connected to its Planbook class so that the assignment showed up within the class it was assigned for.

don't skip two weeks ahead when I click the arrow button to the succeeding week.
Whenever my account gets logged out and I try to click towards the following week, it prompts me to log in. However, after getting logged in, I am brought to the original page where I started. If I clicked the arrow to move forward to the following week, it skips two weeks ahead counting the initial click as a command.

Create a Specific Sub Template
It would be great to have a specific Sub Template that includes the schedule, plans, plus the sub notes, all in one. Additionally, the template could have large gaps between the classes to provide room for substitutes to leave notes on how each class period went.

In this view, you can define exactly what information your substitutes will see, and you can also include “View Notes” to store any common information that will assist the substitute in managing your classroom.
