  4. Coming soon
    - A new, gentle reminder now appears on your Admit dashboard if your school uses a custom theme. This helps new administrators quickly see that the system's look can be personalized, and you can easily hide it once you've got the hang of it. image

Renaissance Learning SFTP Integrations | Improvements to Student Auto Numbering (IDs) | Result Module improvements | Bug Fixes
Renaissance Learning SFTP Integrations
We are excited to announce Renaissance Learning is available as a new SFTP partner in our integration list. This integration will enable you to send your class roster, staff details, and other relevant information directly from Educate to Renaissance.
Preparation for the Integration:
  1. Verify School Name: Ensure your school is correctly named in Educate. Navigate to the school module >> Setup tab >> Setup (on the left-hand side) >> General >> School Contact Info. If adjustments are needed, contact support for assistance. image
  2. Setup Requirements:
  • Sync all students from TADS.
  • Build sections and assign staff.
  • Update staff email addresses in the school email field.
  • Update student email addresses in the school email field (if using SSO).
  • Enroll students in course sections.
  1. Access SFTP Integration Tool: Ensure you have access to the "SFTP Integration" tool in the School Module >> Setup tab >> Setup (on the left-hand side) >> Data >> SFTP Integration. If the menu is not visible, contact support to add it.
Integration Setup:
Under the "SFTP Integration" tool, select "Renaissance" as the partner.
Enter the credentials provided by the Renaissance Team. image
Adjust settings as needed and click “Save Settings.” image
Export Data for Renaissance:
Review files by downloading or sending them to Renaissance. image
Data will automatically sync twice daily: Once in the morning and once in the evening.
Improvements to Student Auto Numbering (IDs):
Customize student auto numbers or IDs to a specific digit in the Setup under Demographics. Enter the desired number/digit in the “next number” field. The next student added will have this number, incrementing thereafter. You will need admin or district admin permission to access this setting.
Ensure the next number is higher than the current number to maintain unique numbering. image
With this improvement, we have also resolved issue of toggling Auto Number = On/Off resulting in the default next number as 1000.
Result Module Improvements:
Generated Time Stamp:
Admins can now see the time stamp of when the report card was generated. Headers are updated to “Generated on” and “Generated By” to avoid confusion. This helps analyze if report cards need regeneration after changes to grades, comments, and attendance by your teachers. image
Classroom Module Time Stamp:
Teachers can now see the time stamp in the classroom module under the table header “Generated/Released On.” image
Accurate Asterisk Indicator:
We have made improvements to ensure the asterisk shows only if there are latest changes not captured in the generated report card, for a specific grading period. This includes changes to grades, comments, and attendance. image
Browser Compatibility for Date Picker:
Removed cache browser suggestions for dates used in the past, allowing direct access to the date picker. This is compatible with major browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. image
Bug Fixes:
School Track Calendar:
Fixed the issue of 2026 calendar days not being available when preparing for the next school year.
2026-2027 School Year | Admissions Document Text Improvements | TADS Suite ID added to Charge Reconciliation Report | Bug Fixes/Maintenance
2026-2027 School Year
The 2026-2027 School Year is now available for configuration in TADS Admissions, Enrollment, Tuition Management, and Billing. TADS Classic Financial Aid is not covered by this update.
If you would like to begin preparing, reach out to your TADS Implementation Specialist (or send an email to tads-implementation@venturedsolutions.com) and they can configure the modules for you. Otherwise, the team will reach out later this year to get the process started.
Admissions Confirmation Document Text Improvements
The Admissions Confirmation Email sent to families upon completion of an Admission Application will now distinguish between “Required” and “Informational/Optional” supplemental document requirements. Previously, these were grouped together in a single section, leading to confusion from families who were not clear on which documents needed to be completed and submitted versus which documents were purely informational or optional.
Here is a sample of this section of the email (where the document requirement types are divided up by form of submission):
2025-05-14_13-37-16
TADS Suite ID added to Charge Reconciliation Report
The Charge Reconciliation Report will now include a column for the TADS Suite ID, making it easier to identify students and manipulate the report to include data from other TADS modules or Educate.
2025-05-14_13-41-58
Bug Fixes and Maintenance
  1. Fixed the “View Requirements” links on the Admissions and Enrollment Documents tabs to properly link to an individual student's document requirement pages within their Admissions Applications or Enrollment Registrations. This will make it easier to quickly access document requirements for specific students.
2025-05-14_12-15-09
  1. Fixed the “Groups” filter on the Mass Update Enrollment Statuses page for both TADS Employees and School Administrator users. This will add increased flexibility to the page if multiple students need to be changed to another enrollment status. Before, when selecting "Specific Groups", the filter's functionality was failing to display the proper students. This will now correctly work as an “Any applies” filter, meaning that if multiple groups are selected, students who fall into any of those groups will be listed on the page so their enrollment statuses can be updated.
2025-05-14_13-32-39
Release versions:
  • ADMIT (v862, v863, v864)
  • HUB (v566, v567)
ADMIT
Enhancements
  1. Schools can now create event categories via
    school setup
    >
    process setup
    >
    event categories
    . This gives schools more flexibility in organizing and managing school-specific events versus the previously more generic options. 2025-06-02_10-56-37 (1)
  2. Checklists now respond dynamically to each student’s grade and application stage. If it doesn’t apply, it doesn’t show. This keeps things focused and reduces confusion for families.
  3. There’s a new setting that lets you decide whether or not your application link appears in school settings. Great for schools doing phased rollouts or using internal-only workflows.
Minor Improvements & Bug Fixes
  1. Admin names on the User Management page now sort correctly. A simple fix that saves a lot of scrolling.
  2. The calendar now filters out past events, so staff and families always land on what’s coming up next. Less noise, more clarity.
  3. We tightened up some layout quirks and addressed rare save errors in form workflows. You probably won’t notice them now—and that’s the point.
HUB
Enhancements
  1. Parents can no longer accidentally sign into sandbox environments. This keeps testing separate and ensures families always land where they’re supposed to.
Minor Improvements & Bug Fixes
  1. Schools now have more precision over how logos appear in Hub. That means better formatting, crisper visuals, and fewer odd crops.
  2. Subtle message updates now make it obvious whether you’re on a live site or in sandbox. Especially helpful for admins who toggle between environments.

  • Admit:
    v899.2, v900, v901

    v865.1, v867
ADMIT
Enhancements
  • Coming soon
    -  in addition to the current custom logo functionality (already live in production), we’ll soon be rolling out powerful custom school branding capabilities that allow further theming of the navigation bar, menu tabs, as well as font and icon colors so that Admit can be easily customized to feel like the perfect companion to school websites. image
Improvements & Bug Fixes
  • Added Family ID fields to the Data Explorer, so that records can now be filtered and reported by Family ID.
  • Fixed an issue where HTML tags in form questions that had caused text on the All-Applicants page to appear bold unexpectedly.
  • In lieu of NMI being the new drop-in payment solution in Ravenna, we changed the previous “unconfigured payment processor option” verbiage (seen at initial setup or when set to an unconfigured state) to “NMI Unconfigured.”
  • Improved the Outgoing Students page so it loads faster and shows a status message if it takes longer than expected.
HUB
Enhancements
  • Coming soon
    - We're redesigning the directory filter experience as part of our larger initiative to provide a remarkably effortless, first-in-class user experience to parents in Hub. image.
Improvements & Bug Fixes
  • Updated the modal dialog component with a refreshed UI design.
  • Fixed a bug where newly created parent accounts did not automatically receive the “parent” role.
  • Changed the default “unconfigured” payment processor option to be labeled “NMI Unconfigured” when no processor is set up.
We have made a hotfix focusing on report cards:
Bugfix
- Adding a comment for skills and deleting it resulted in a duplicate Comment Header in the report card, this is fixed.
Maintenance
- In the report card template "Course Final Grades with Standards", the section attendance header is improved to align with the template's existing style set.
Release Versions:
  • Admit:
    895, 895.1, 896, 897, 897.1, 898
  • Hub:
    v864, v865, v866
ADMIT
Enhancements
  • School administrators can now upload a custom logo to display in the Admit portal. This strengthens each school’s in-app branding and provides schools with a familiar, official look and feel that integrates seamlessly with existing ecosystems. 2025-05-14_19-40-53 (1)
  • Direct Apply functionality that allows you to link directly to your school's application page in the directory is now enabled for every school, not just premium subscribers. Administrators can place this direct-apply URL on their website or communications, making it easier for prospective families to start applications and boosting visibility of the admissions process. 2025-05-14_21-24-04 (1)
  • Coming soon
    - Admit will offer a “Preview” button for confetti effects on decision emails. Before sending out acceptance communications, staff will be able to preview the celebratory confetti animation with their chosen colors. This helps ensure decision emails look exactly as intended, improving confidence and communication quality with families. 2025-05-14_19-10-49 copy (1)
  • An all new a new
    Release Notes
    icon (in the form of a rocket) has been added in Admit. Clicking it opens Ravenna’s live changelog (via Canny) and shows a notification badge for new updates. This gives school staff immediate visibility into all new features and announcements without needing to leave the portal. 2025-05-14_22-01-20 (1)
  • You can now submit and track product feedback! We’ve integrated with Canny to make it easier for our schools to share feedback, suggest ideas, and see what’s coming next in Ravenna. Users can now submit product feedback and feature requests directly from within Ravenna, vote on feature ideas, and view product announcements, upcoming events, and release updates. 2025-05-14_22-11-20 (1)
Improvements & Bug Fixes
  • We fixed an issue in the Rollover Tools so that application forms copy correctly into the new year. Now, when you copy a school’s form in Admin > System > Rollover Tools, all form data (steps, questions, app types, etc.) is transferred properly. This means your year-to-year setup of application forms will no longer require manual fixes, preserving all linked data seamlessly.
  • You can now update saved Data Explorer queries that feed workflows. Previously, there was no way to edit an existing saved query’s “Used in Workflow” flag, forcing admins to recreate queries for workflow use. This issue is resolved, so schools can edit and re-save queries (including updating the workflow flag) directly, giving more flexibility in reports and automated steps.
HUB
Enhancements
  • Coming soon
    Hub’s new auto-suggest fields will provide a more seamless user journey for parents. When entering data like school or district names in the redesigned Hub UI, the system now suggests matching entries as you type. This reduces typing and lookup time, making data entry more efficient and less prone to error.
2025-05-14_22-23-14 (1)
  • Coming soon
    - the new password fields in Hub include a “reveal” eye icon. Users (or administrators on behalf of users) will be able to click a toggle to show hidden password characters. This small improvement makes sign-in and password resets smoother by letting people verify what they typed, reducing login mistakes. 2025-05-14_21-40-14 (1)
Improvements & Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where a student’s Citizenship selection (from the mini application form or Hub profile) wasn’t saving correctly. Now when staff update Citizenship in Hub, the change reliably persists and also reflects in ADMIT.
We’re excited to announce our new integration with Canny—making it easier than ever for you to share feedback, suggest ideas, and see what’s coming next in Ravenna.
With this update, you can:
  • Submit product feedback and feature requests directly from within Ravenna (go to the the waffle menu, then click
    Feature Requests
    or simply click
    this link
    )
  • Vote on feature ideas and see what others are asking for
  • Click the rocket icon to view product announcements, upcoming events, and release updates
Your voice has always mattered, and now, it’s even easier to be heard.
