Features
MFA with authenticator apps
Audience: All
Users can now use TOTP-based authenticator apps, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, as a second factor when signing in. It links users' accounts to these apps, which then generate one-time codes during sign-in. This feature improves account security by requiring a second factor, helping prevent unauthorized access.

Updates
Custom handling of PK and KG grades for Skyward SIS
Audience: District Admin
SchoolDay processes grades according to the CEDS standard. As Skyward uses a custom grade schema, non-standard grades (e.g. "-1" instead of CEDS "PK") are now indicated by their actual designation (e.g. "-1") instead of "Others". This update ensures grades are interpreted correctly.
SchoolTool application added
Audience: District Admin
The SchoolTool is now available in Import mode using OneRoster. This application uses SchoolDay as a reliable source for district roster data and ensures consistent data across systems.
Security and performance improvements
