Version 7 ready for 2009-2010

This update is focused on improving the overall user experience so you will see many visual changes. Our goal was to keep unchanged all of the functionality that worked well, while improving areas that may cause confusion. Although we have introduced an updated look, most of the navigation and screens are similar to the prior version and should be familiar to you. With this update we are continuing our mission to provide you with the information you need to improve student performance.

Here are some of the highlights:

	PowerSchool Ready For districts moving from SASI to PowerSchool a migration wizard is under the SysAdmin tab that will guide you through the move when your district has made the change.
	Students At-A-Glance We wanted to make it easy to quickly get common information about each student in a list. Now when viewing a class or student group you can simply move your mouse over a student, and related assessment, grades and special programs (if available*) are shown.
	Printing Everywhere We are frequently asked how information can be printed. There is now a print link at the top of every page to make printing easier.
	Search Instantly You no longer have to go to the classroom page to perform searches. Instead, at the top of every page you'll find a search box for quick searching. You can even search for classes and, if security allows for it, users!
	Improved Readability We recognized that it was sometimes difficult to read some text content. To address this we've increased font sizes, placed icons next to many links, and changed the color scheme.
	Navigation Improvements We found that sometimes the tabs at the top of each screen were overlooked. We've moved them to the left side of the screen so they are more obvious. Also, the "breadcrumb" at the top of each page is clearer and easier to see. Common reports are no longer hidden on a separate tab but instead appear on the right side of the screen so they are more obvious.
	Student Photos If you have student photos in your SIS they will now be shown on student pages and in Instance Search results.
	More Web-Browsers A good experience includes being able to use the web browser that is most convenient to you. Besides just Internet Explorer, you can now use FireFox, Google Chrome, or Apple Safari.
	* Response To Intervention (RTI) An add-on module for Response to Intervention is now available for an additional per-student fee. This includes intervention tracking, progress monitoring, and school and district-level reports.
