- Starter subscription schools now have access to the Events module and document uploading functionality.

- A new school-facing report under Ravenna Reporting that surfaces the admissions metrics required for NAIS/DASL submissions. Schools can now generate and export aggregated counts (inquiries, DNI, completed applications, DNC applicants, acceptance rate, international applicant data, and more) without Support assistance. Excel export included.

- A new report showing applicants who have declined an offer of admission, along with the destination school (when provided) and results grouped by grade level — giving enrollment teams visibility into competitive trends.

- The Payment Queue page has been updated to the new React data list, with one-click CSV export for both payments and waivers. Reconciliation with external systems is now dramatically faster.

- The admission season selector now lives in the top header (similar to Enroll), making it easier to view and switch between seasons without scrolling.

- New tooltips and modals explain Current Counts vs. Raw Data, provide definitions for each funnel stage (All, Started, Applied, Forms Complete, Complete, Offer, Accepted, Matriculating), and explain yield calculations — all without adding UI clutter.

- Schools can now define a minimum application status threshold for sibling records to be created during family event registration — eliminating spurious "exploring" records for siblings of current students.

The Households step in the application wizard has been updated to remove the "Primary Household" and "Make Primary" badges from the wizard view (the first household is still set as primary in the backend and can be updated from the profile page if needed). Instructional copy has been rewritten to be clearer and more inclusive of families with shared custody situations.

- Sibling records are no longer auto-created as "exploring" during family event registration unless they meet the school's defined application status threshold — preventing spurious records for siblings of current students.

- The Affordability Calculator button has been removed.

Schools can now insert custom field tags into Enroll email templates so student-specific data populates automatically from each student's profile — enabling personalized communication at scale without manual entry.

We improved the new Charge Editing functionality recently introduced on billing accounts:

We updated the “Start New Admissions Application” card on the household user dashboard, so users without an existing school to which they can start an application will now have a notice to contact their school for more information on their admissions process, rather than a link to start a new application. This update should reduce ambiguity on the dashboard and better direct parent users to action items relevant to their school.

In the above image, you can see the two possible cards:

We’re excited to introduce a major upgrade to meal ordering, designed to make planning, ordering, and managing meals —for families and schools alike.

This provides greater flexibility and ensures consistent pricing rules for both students and staff.

: State Lunch report will continue to show students data. If you specifically select Staff is when the report will include staff data.

Admins now have a , ensuring:

This reduces confusion and prevents invalid orders on closed days.

These improvements help:

Most importantly, this release reflects —and our commitment to acting on that feedback.

This update is part of our continued investment in making meal ordering:

Check out this great new feature! School Administrators with the Billing role can now generate payment links from billing accounts. When generating a link, the user will input an email address to which the link will be delivered. The link allows users to make online payments to the specific TADS billing account from which the link was generated and does NOT require a TADS login to submit the payment.

To learn more, read below or check out our support article on Secure Payment Links!

Links can be set to expire after 1 hour, 24 hours, or 72 hours. Once expired, the link will no longer be accessible to any user. Links can also be manually cancelled while still active and will automatically cancel if the account is deactivated. Links are one-time use and will expire once used. Payment methods allowed with the links will match the online payment option on the account from which the link was generated. When generating the link, users can optionally suggest a payment amount, which will appear as the default selection for payment amount when users access the link. This way, we can offer payment amount suggestions that do not contain sensitive account information about current balances.

The payments tab of the billing account contains an overview table for all links generated on that billing account, along with logging for who generated the link, IP address each time the link is accessed, when and why the link expired, and IP address that submitted the link when payments are made.

Following our modernized redesign of TADS Admissions last year, we continue our improvements to the parent/guardian user experience for TADS Enrollment.

https://venturedsolutions.navattic.com/yji0lsx

As with Admissions, the Enrollment update features a new progress bar and collapsible section headings for a clearer, less daunting experience, particularly for schools with lengthier enrollment processes. We have also consolidated pages to reduce clicks and page loads for quicker, easier completion. All Supplemental Question sections have been moved from their own page into collapsible sections within their base pages. For example, “Student Supplemental Questions” will now appear as a collapsible section on the “Student” page of the form.

Impacted pages:

The and sections have been combined into a single page, called . This new combined page removes duplication of effort, allowing users to quickly add contacts and mark them as a Grandparent, Emergency Contact, or both. The new Contacts page will appear when either the Grandparents or Emergency Contacts section are enabled, and required information will depend on which contact type(s) are selected.

Also mirroring last year's Admissions updates, the sections at the end of Enrollment have been consolidated into a single submission page for enrollment charges, terms and conditions, billing account selection/creation, payment method selection, and payment account information entry. This offers a simpler, faster checkout with less room for error.
