Parent Dashboard
The TADS Home page for household users has been refreshed! Rather than the previous openâended module cards, Parents/Guardians will now see an actionâfocused dashboard that clearly highlights any tasks requiring their attention.
Here is a
side-by-side view
where you can see the old Home page (left) compared to the new Dashboard (right).

Billing
and Payments
section will highlight any accounts the user has in TADS with any outstanding balance. Invoice due dates will be specifically listed unless there are multiple past-due invoices, as in the example above. If there is no past-due balance, the due date and balance of the next-due invoice will be listed instead.For the
Students
section, we will show action prompts with a button to quickly navigate to the page requiring action (including Admissions Applications, Enrollments, Tuition Agreements, Ad Hoc Forms, and Document Requirements). Some of these modules may also appear with a âComing Soonâ status indicated if we are confident that the student will eventually have action required in that module but isnât able to do so currently. An example would be a Streamlined Enrollment school where the student has not yet completed enrollment; in this case, Enrollment will appear with the link to complete the enrollment form while the âAgreementâ bar will show the status âComing Soonâ (since the system requires that the enrollment step be completed before the family can access the agreement).đ
Admissions Fixes
Weâve restored several lesserâused Admissions features that were not included in the initial rollout of the updated user experience in late 2025. Weâve also resolved a number of remaining defects.
- Re-added the âSave Draftâ option on the Supplemental Questions page, which allows users to save their progress without submitting the entire page.
- Re-added support for Supplemental Question Capacity, which allows schools to set limits on the number of responses they allow for specific response options to their supplemental questions.
- Improved spacing and header clarity on the Household page of the Admissions Application.
- Fixed an issue with Phone-type supplemental questions that could cause issues saving the response
- Fixed an issue with Ampersands in response options for supplemental questions that could cause issues saving responses.
- Fixed an issue with Conditional Select Multiple format supplemental questions that could cause issues saving responses.
- Fixed an issue that could cause School Administrator and TADS Employee users to receive a âNot Authorizedâ error when trying to add additional households on an Admissions Application or Enrollment.

Other Enhancements and Fixes
- Improved the student name search feature of the Admissions and Enrollment Per Student Reports, so that they no longer require exact text matches.
- Corrected a formatting issue with the Truth In Lending Agreement (TILA) that would cause installment count, date, and amounts to have different font sizes leading to misalignment.
- Fixed an issue introduced with the recent changes to the Invoice Account Report that could cause invoice amounts to be incorrect in some cases.
- Fixed a minor issue with the TADS mailing address on the tear-off section of the Invoice PDF.
