Copy template with the lesson
I have created templates for some of my lesson plans, when a teacher goes to copy my lessons what I have in the template does not copy --- which is frustrating! i would love for teachers to be able to copy my lessons that I use a template for and have all information carry over.

Automatically number lessons
It would be helpful if each lesson was automatically numbered (like schools days are automatically numbered). I have a 2 week timetable where I might see one class twice per week for two weeks, but another class I might see 3 times in week one and only once in week 2. This means that these classes are out of sinc - I have to manually number each class so that I know where each one is up to.

Hide or Skip a lesson in a unit
Under lesson actions, you should be able to hide (or skip) a lesson. From year to year, sometimes we want to hide or skip a lesson. The lesson bank does not achieve this quickly. I don't want to create a separate place to store them - I want them easily seen with the rest of me lessons within the unit - I just want the option to hide a lesson from a date rather than move the date to something else. Please add a "hide or skip the lesson" option within the lesson actions and also within the lesson unit!!!…

Strategies Display Like Standards
I wish you could set it up so we could view Strategies the same way we do Standards. There would be a Strategy ID, and the Strategy Description itself. Teachers could choose if they wanted the strategy description displayed.

I would like to see the ability to open attached files from my plans rather than downloading them and then opening them.

Allow assessments to repeat
I give weekly quizzes in some of my classes and would like to be able to schedule them en masse instead of individually each week. For example, the ability to schedule a quiz every Thursday for a given date range would be extremely helpful. It would also be great if you added a biweekly option.

Attach files to Views (Students, Substitutes, etc)
I would love to be able to upload files to the notes pages. Sometimes there is a particular document that I want students to practice daily but I do not want to write it in my plans daily. Also, if this option was available on the sub notes page I could upload all important documents such as, class lists, fire drill forms, extra handouts etc.

More control over Lesson Heights
I would like to set the height of my lesson plans as one height, and the height for my events as a separate height. I hate that on days I have events (no school) that my lessons have this stair step look to them when looking at multiple classes. I would like to set that event space as a specific height and then set the height of my class lessons as different height so it looks more uniform. - Yes, I'm type A and like things to look orderly.

Create app for Apple watch
I am purchasing an apple watch and would really love to see my planbook on the watch. Do you have plans to make updates to the app to accommodate this? i use the app on my phone all the time and can't live without it. The addition of watch capability would be amazing.

Select color of Google Calendar items
Example: On my actual Google Calendar I want the color to be purple, but on my Planbook, I want my Google Calendar to be black so it stands out better.

Partial "No School Day"
Frequently we have assemblies or events in which a few classes are canceled for the day. Rather than having to go into each one and choose "No Class Day" for each one, it would be nice when adding an event, it automatically canceled classes during the time of the event. When choosing "No School Day" it cancels the entire day and not just the events during the event time.

Add an option to modify attendance options
I need to be able to track more than what is currently offered in the attendance tab.
I would like to add options such as early dismissals, excused/unexcused, and notes to this section of the site.

Make private attachments a different color
So that when you are looking at a week you can ensure that the correct attachments are visible to the students and those that you want to remain private are such and you can see that without clicking on every individual day.

Share grade books
Shared Grade Books. We are going to be asked to compare the scores of our entire grade to help with differentiation. For example, being able to view all 2nd grade students' math scores would be awesome!

templates for bank lessons
I would like to be able to save my template so that when I am adding additional lessons to the bank for a unit it will automatically pop up with the template instead of me having to copy it into the blank extra lesson every time.

Allow admin to mark lesson as reviewed
The only way to show that lesson plans have been checked now is to leave a comment. It would be nice to be able to provide a simple checkmark to show they have been read/approved without leaving a comment every week.

Seating Chart - flexible room layouts
As of now, the seating chart is only a typical "rows" model. In many current classrooms, we use flexible seating. There need to be options for tables and other furniture as well as a non-standard design (objects need to be able to be placed anywhere).
