What’s New

Honest monthly notes on what improved. No gloss.

October 2026

• Story writing for grades 9–12 — Writing Coach has three new high-school prompts that ask for an invented story instead of an essay, in English and Spanish: a choice between two things someone valued, a place a character knows well at the moment it changed for good, and a misunderstanding between two people. Each story is checked against one five-line rubric shown above the writing box: an opening that sets out the situation and why it matters, dialogue and pacing at the key moment, events that build toward an outcome, precise and sensory detail, and a conclusion that reflects on what happened. A story may run to 2,500 characters, the same as an essay, and our privacy pages now say so. That makes 13 high-school prompts in all; the English I–II readiness round, shaped like the end-of-course exam, still deals only the essays. Our Kansas and Arizona grades 9–12 reports now list the narrative-writing standards (Kansas W.9-10.3 and W.11-12.3, Arizona 9-10.W.3 and 11-12.W.3, each with parts a–e) as PARTIAL instead of NOT COVERED, and two auditors run by this project re-checked all 24 rows; both rated every one PARTIAL. None can read FULL: only Writing Coach practises them, and an AI model (Anthropic’s Claude) scores its answers.
• A grade-range correction — some of our pages said reading, writing and Word Power run through grade 8. Math does; reading and writing reach grade 6, and Word Power, science and social studies reach grade 5. Those pages now say so. Our September note below said middle school arrived “across math and ELA”; it should have said grades 6–8 math and Grade-6 ELA.
• Louisiana standards reports — new code-by-code reports against Louisiana’s own 2016 standards, taken from the Louisiana Department of Education’s official standards documents: K–5 mathematics (23 of 152 standards FULL, 127 PARTIAL) and English language arts (12 of 250 standards FULL, 156 PARTIAL), and grades 6–8 mathematics (7 of 81 FULL, 73 PARTIAL) with Grade-6 English language arts (1 of 41 FULL, 32 PARTIAL). Every FULL was checked by a second reviewer run by this project, which lowered four of them to PARTIAL. These are the standards in effect through the 2026–27 school year: Louisiana’s revised English language arts standards take effect in 2027–28, and both reports say so at the top. Louisiana science, social studies and grades 9–12 are not crosswalked yet, and we claim nothing there.
• Arizona grades 9–12 standards report — a new code-by-code report against Arizona’s own high-school standards, taken from the Arizona Department of Education’s official files: the Algebra I (1 of 68 codes FULL, 49 PARTIAL), Geometry (2 of 54 FULL, 29 PARTIAL) and Algebra II (1 of 78 FULL, 46 PARTIAL) course standards, and English language arts for grades 9–10 (3 of 75 FULL, 45 PARTIAL) and 11–12 (3 of 74 FULL, 47 PARTIAL). Like the Kansas and Missouri high-school reports it is a deliberately broad-PARTIAL practice supplement, with every gap listed. Every FULL was checked by a second reviewer run by this project, and a later review lowered one of them, in grades 9–10 English, to PARTIAL. Arizona’s math practice standards, its Plus standards, its fourth-credit Precalculus and Quantitative Reasoning standards, and Arizona science and social studies are not crosswalked, and we claim nothing there.
• Removing a child now sticks — removing a child in Manage Kids used to take them off that one device only, so they came back on the next sync and stayed in the Sunday summary email. Now a removed child leaves your account and every device signed in to it, and the reminder before you remove one says so. For 30 days the cloud also refuses to bring that child back from an older copy of the app still saved on a tablet; adding the same child again yourself still works.
• Georgia standards reports — new code-by-code reports against Georgia’s own standards, taken from the Georgia Department of Education’s official standards files (Georgia wrote both subjects with its own codes, so every claim was matched to the Georgia text itself): K–5 mathematics (15 of 150 expectations FULL, 131 PARTIAL) and English language arts (0 of 198 standards FULL, 157 PARTIAL), and grades 6–8 mathematics (7 of 115 FULL, 98 PARTIAL) with Grade-6 English language arts (0 of 27 FULL, 19 PARTIAL). Georgia science, social studies and grades 9–12 are not crosswalked yet, and we claim nothing there.
• A closer look at reading, Spanish, science and Writing Coach — an October review of the question banks found more to fix, and every fix was measured again by a separate reviewer before it shipped. Put-in-order questions: steps that could honestly go in either order were rewritten, a question no longer names its own answer (“The seasons, starting with spring: which comes first?”), and the steps were reworded so a choice can’t be spotted because it repeats a word from the question. Prefixes and suffixes: two choices never mean nearly the same thing, and no choice turns out to be the answer most of the times it appears. Tap-the-adjective sentences no longer contain “a” or “the” to tap, and four inference stories that could never be dealt now are. The earth-science “build the bar” questions are real bar graphs now, read from a small table with a scale, instead of a ten-frame filled with a number the question printed. In Spanish, ¿Cuántos/Cuántas agrees with the noun, questions open with ¿ and ¡, and English words (including in the explanation read aloud after a wrong answer for Pre-K–2) are read by the English voice. Writing Coach: students in grades 6–12 start at their own level on screen and on printed sheets, the skill shows that level, the coach treats their writing as a student’s, and grades 9–12 have seven new essay prompts in English and Spanish (ten in all); printed sheets of writing prompts now say to write, not “circle the correct answer.” Today’s Challenge for grades 6–12 now comes from their own grade band, and a few Kansas standards in our reports now quote the state’s printed text exactly. One known weakness is still open and on our list: in a few level-1 put-in-order questions, a choice that starts with “the” or “un/una” is right a little more often than chance.
• Fewer shortcuts to the right answer — an independent re-check found ways a child could pick the right answer without the skill (the longest choice, the middle one, a number’s digits). The volume boxes now ask the child to type how many cubes fit instead of choosing from six numbers, and the multiplication question asks for the missing edge; grade-6 volume (V = Bh) and the median of five are typed in practice rounds too; taking a shape apart now asks how many pieces and which shape (typed number plus one shape button) instead of three ready-made answers; the science model cards were reworded; the drawing and grid questions, sight-word practice, the coordinate quadrant question, Spanish story predictions and the sorting questions were reworded or rebuilt so their shortcuts are gone. Every fix was measured again by a separate reviewer before it shipped. One known exception is described honestly in our standards notes: on the grade-1 strip comparison, how big an object looks still hints at the longer one.
• Brighter colors for kids — the practice screens, “Who’s playing?” and the check-in before a round are now sky blue with pale-blue answer buttons and a bold blue edge. Right is still green, wrong still red, and every text color passes the WCAG AA contrast check. High contrast mode and the grades 9–12 dark look are unchanged.
• Clearer wording, and voice answers stay behind the grown-ups check — the printed Backpack Record, the bridge plan and the privacy receipt now call the Lexend setting “Reading-friendly font”, the same name it has in Settings; the Interest Pack note no longer says “Always free” (Interest Packs come with paid plans); and restoring a backup now keeps this device’s own voice-input setting, so only the grown-ups check can turn voice answers on.
• Find us on Facebook — a Facebook link now sits beside TikTok and YouTube at the bottom of every page, in English and Spanish.
• A clear note when a device can’t read aloud — some tablets (for example some Amazon Fire tablets) have no reading voice in their built-in browser, so read-aloud stayed silent with no explanation. Now, once the app sees speech fail on a device, grown-ups get a short note on the practice screen and help in Settings, including how to switch practice to words on screen. Devices that read aloud normally never see it.
• Settings from your account can now include i-Ready sections — when a family asks us to set a child’s school-test starting levels on the child’s own devices, we can now send the report’s word for each i-Ready section, and, if the family asks, replace earlier starting levels from “Find my level” on those devices. Practice is never replaced.
• i-Ready results by section — on a paid family plan, the parent dashboard’s school-test box now has an optional “i-Ready by section” list under Math and Reading (kindergarten through grade 8). It takes each section i-Ready reports, such as Phonics or Geometry, in the report’s own words — Needs Improvement, Approaching, At Grade Level, Above Grade Level — and sets starting levels for that section’s skills only. A section you set beats the whole-subject pick for its skills; practice and “Find my level” results are still never replaced unless you choose Replace. And when we set a child’s grade or starting levels from the family account at a family’s request, the child’s device now reports back how many starting levels it set (counts only).
• Arkansas standards reports — new code-by-code reports against Arkansas’s 2023 standards (Arkansas rewrote both subjects with its own codes, so every claim was matched to the Arkansas text itself): K–5 mathematics (26 of 174 standards FULL, 140 PARTIAL) and English language arts (36 of 427 FULL, 226 PARTIAL), and grades 6–8 mathematics (12 of 116 FULL, 99 PARTIAL) with Grade-6 English language arts (1 of 64 FULL, 38 PARTIAL). Arkansas science, social studies and grades 9–12 are not crosswalked yet, and we claim nothing there.
• Arizona standards reports — new code-by-code reports against Arizona’s own 2016 standards: K–5 mathematics (28 of 153 standards FULL, 119 PARTIAL) and English language arts (11 of 265 FULL, 159 PARTIAL), and grades 6–8 mathematics (12 of 82 FULL, 68 PARTIAL) with Grade-6 English language arts (1 of 42 FULL, 32 PARTIAL). Arizona science, social studies and grades 9–12 are not crosswalked yet, and we claim nothing there.
• Corrections to our Alaska reports — Kansas numbers several grades 6–8 standards differently, and the Alaska grades 6–8 page had compared some rows with the wrong Kansas standard. Every affected row was re-checked against the matching one: no verdict changed, eleven notes were corrected, and the page now names the right Kansas standard. On the Alaska K–5 page, two verdicts (3.MD.7, area, and 4.G.3, lines of symmetry) had been published as PARTIAL by mistake and are FULL again, and two notes (4.NF.6, 5.NF.7) now say exactly what the child does. Notes about our Read It Myself stories in the Kansas, Missouri and Alaska reports now say exactly when a story is read aloud.
• A Sunday email, offered at the right moment — right after a child’s very first practice round, the results screen now shows one small button for grown-ups: “Grown-ups: get a Sunday email about [your child]”. It goes through the grown-ups gate (a child is never asked for an email) to the free parent account, which sends a short Sunday summary in weeks there was practice. It starts with the next round, it’s honest about the welcome emails, and “No thanks” is remembered on that device. It never appears on classroom, kiosk or High School devices. The Sunday summary itself now says “1 day” (not “1 days”) and no longer sends free families to paid-only features.
• Easier to start, and a way back in — each paid plan on our pricing page now opens that plan in the app instead of the general welcome screen; the parent page has a “Create a free account” button, and the account screen now leads with the grown-up sign-up (the class-code form for kids is one tap away). A forgotten password can now be reset by email, the log-in error is clear in English and Spanish, and links from our Spanish pages open the app in Spanish. Teachers can start a free account straight from the schools and centers pages, and “Request a proposal” now opens our contact form already set to a school or center request.
• School-test results, one subject at a time — on a paid family plan, the parent dashboard now takes a recent school test (i-Ready, MAP, Star, FastBridge, Kansas KAP, Mastery Connect) separately for math and reading (and science in grades 3–5): below, on or above grade, with a short guide to reading each report. It now works in grades 6–12 too (before, it changed nothing there while saying it had), it fills only skills that don’t have a level yet (earlier starting levels change only if you choose Replace, and practice never does), and it stays on that device.
• Alaska standards reports — new code-by-code reports against Alaska’s own 2012 standards (Alaska did not adopt the Common Core): K–5 mathematics (33 of 170 standards FULL, 126 PARTIAL) and English language arts (14 of 250 FULL, 148 PARTIAL), and grades 6–8 mathematics with Grade-6 English language arts. Alaska science, social studies and grades 9–12 are not crosswalked yet, and we claim nothing there.
• A wording correction — this page and our reports described the 3 October re-audit as done by “independent auditors.” The auditors are review passes run by this project, not an outside firm, and every page now says so.
• Find us on TikTok and YouTube — links now sit at the bottom of every page, in English and Spanish.
• Our standards reports were re-audited, and the FULL counts went down — on 3 October two separate auditors run by this project re-read every published standards row against the live app, and a verdict changed only where both agreed. Far fewer rows now read FULL. In the K–5 reports, Kansas went from 224 FULL standards to 82 and Missouri from 347 to 181; in grades 6–8 math, Kansas went from 34 FULL to 22 and Missouri from 57 to 47. Rows fell where part of a standard isn’t actually practised, or where a question could give its answer away. A row goes back up only after a fresh two-auditor check. In grades 9–12 the same re-read moved some rows up (Kansas 15 to 17 FULL, Missouri 16 to 27). Older notes on this page — September’s FULL upgrades and August’s “zero NOT-COVERED” math — describe the reports before this re-audit. Read the current verdicts: Kansas K–5 · Missouri K–5 · Kansas 6–8 · Missouri 6–8 · Kansas 9–12 · Missouri 9–12.
• Right answers no longer marked wrong — on questions like “which fraction is the smallest?”, “which is a multiple of 3?” or “what’s the best estimate?”, a made-up wrong choice could sometimes also be right, or name a bill that doesn’t exist. Those questions now keep their checked choices. A functions item, a ratio plot, a dot-plot mode, a two-way-table tie and two Spanish items that could mark a right answer wrong, or could not be answered, are fixed too.
• No more answers given away — number lines and counters no longer show the answer before the child gives it; multi-digit adding and subtracting can no longer be answered from the ones digit alone; and in High School the right choice no longer gives itself away in transformations, radicals, logarithms, advanced functions, segment partitions, quadratics and normal-curve items. Equal-sign true-or-false, prefix and suffix, put-it-in-order, triangle, graph and time-estimate questions were fixed too, and the butterfly life cycle now includes the chrysalis.
• More Spanish, and better Spanish — Spanish mode now deals the questions about books and the two-text comparisons (before, those came up only in English), reads fractions as words (“3 quintos”), makes ¿Cuántos/Cuántas agree with the noun, uses Spanish words in analogies, and asks for the ¿…? and ¡…! pairs. A new check reads every Spanish question, explanation and answer for article mix-ups; it found one, now fixed. Still to come: the grade 4–5 best-summary questions have no Spanish passages yet, so Spanish mode skips them.
• Writing Coach grows up with the writer — middle and high school students now start at their own level instead of the first one, see the rubric above the box, and get coaching written for older writers. High school essays may now run to 2,500 characters so a several-paragraph essay fits (every other prompt stays at 700); our privacy pages say so, and a safety note now keeps the same words the check read.
• More to practise, fewer repeats — Pre-K colors, weather, community helpers and feelings, grade-4 factors, grade-6 statistics (including eight ways to read a two-way table) and several High School skills gained new question types, and ten new High School reading passages joined the grades 9–10 and 11–12 banks, so rounds stop repeating the same few questions. The grade-2 hundreds block-builds now come up at level 2; before, they sat at levels that never dealt them.
• Our numbers, recounted — the count of skills that map to a published state standard now includes every grade band, not just K–5.
• A correction, and bilingual through grade 12 — our September note below said the High School courses are in English. They are not: in Spanish mode the High School questions, reading passages and essay prompts are in Spanish, so our pages now say bilingual (English/Spanish) Pre-K–12. What stays in English is the High School skill list: the skill names and descriptions.

September 2026

• No more blank screen after a tile round — a round that used letter or order tiles (spelling, comparing numbers, alphabetizing, sorting, building a sentence) could leave only the background showing when the child tapped Finish, until the app was reopened. The work had always saved; now the results screen always appears, and if a screen ever fails to appear, the app restarts it by itself within a few seconds. Tapping Next twice quickly no longer skips a question, and shaded fraction parts, graph lines and number-line hops are drawn with stronger contrast.
• The voice no longer gives the answer away — for Pre-K–2 read-aloud, answer choices that are pictures (faces, weather, colors, community helpers and more) are no longer read out, because the device voice named each picture; word choices are still read. A question answered on the number pad, number line or ten-frame is read without the hidden answer options behind it.
• Steadier on slow Wi-Fi and older iPads — if Science or Social Studies can’t download, the app now says so after a few seconds instead of quietly ignoring taps; Read to me and Writing Coach work again on older iPads; and an automatic update while a child is on a menu returns to that child’s orchard instead of asking who is playing.
• Truer numbers for teachers — class reports, the Evidence Binder and Tricky Types now read every row, not just the first 1,000; a number spoken into the microphone keeps its decimal point; each grade 6–12 standards proof link opens the level that actually deals its evidence; the Monday Warm-Up says it covers the last 30 days; and Fix My Misses only replays subjects the child can open today.
• Tricky-type sheets at the right level — the Table Sheet, the family Board Game and the teacher’s Monday Warm-Up now print each tricky question type at the child’s (or the class’s) own level instead of the first level, and say so when a type is practised only on screen; board-game cards letter their answers A, B, C to match the key.
• Fairer checking, tighter privacy — written math explanations now appear only for a child who has Writing Coach (a paid plan or a school sponsorship with the district switch on), never in “just practicing” rounds, and never twice in one round; if the checker cannot be reached, the question is swapped for another instead of counted. Typed answers are judged the way children write them — 12×m, 1.50h, √(50) and 5√2 all count — and the answer box always agrees with the score. The look-back, Car Mode and the Do-It-Together sheet never show machine text, math is written the standard way (x, never 1x), graphs can be plotted from the keyboard, and table passages keep their rows. Five more grade 6–8 standards rows earn FULL after a second two-auditor review.
• Paper stays paper for High School too — printed sheets, the placement check, duels and the grown-up quiz now always show High School function questions as multiple choice; typing stays in live practice.
• When the answer is not a whole number — eighth-grade roots now ask for the side of a square whose area is 50 (or the edge of a cube whose volume is 30) written with the root symbol itself, keys added to the pad; √50, sqrt(50) and 5√2 all count.
• Graph the whole system — in eighth-grade equations the student now plots three points of each line; each line draws itself through its points and runs to the edge of the grid, so the crossing appears under the student’s own work before they name it as the solution.
• Sixth-grade statistics, computed by hand — mean, median, mode and range are now typed on the number pad as often as they are picked, and mean absolute deviation and interquartile range now appear at the sixth-grade level, not only in the seventh-grade sampling round.
• High School: explain it in writing — twelve Algebra I, Geometry and probability prompts now ask for the reasoning the EOC exams score: why 8^(1/3) is 2, what each part of a profit expression means, what a vertex form says about a maximum, why two solving routes agree, what C(6) = 210 and an average rate of change mean, the parameters of an exponential model, a fitted line’s slope, why sine is one number for one angle, where the cylinder formula comes from, and independence in plain language. Graded by the same Writing Coach check, under the same school switch, in the adult register the High School surface uses.
• Solve it, don’t pick it — in grades 6–8 the solving half of the equation standards is now typed as often as it is chosen: two-step equations, equations with a bracket to distribute, one-step equations, the missing angle, and inequalities (including the sign flip), each checked for the variable alone on one side. Also added: a two-step inequality written from a budget story, like terms combined by typing, a subtraction hop on the number line that crosses zero, and hourly rates with a half-dollar in the written equations.
• Twelve more “explain” and “describe” prompts — ratio language, why dividing by a fraction gives more, the parts of an expression, the sign rules for multiplying, what an inequality’s solution means in a story, slope as a unit rate, proportional versus not, a sum in context, checking a solution, describing rigid and similarity transformations, and reading an association off a two-way table. Same Writing Coach check, same switch. Also: “write d in terms of t” now requires d alone on one side, and evaluating an expression is typed as often as it is picked.
• Seven more grade 6–8 standards earn FULL, and the answer key got stricter — a second two-auditor adversarial re-audit of every standards row touched by September’s write-it, type-it and draw-it builds moved seven Kansas and Missouri rows from PARTIAL to FULL (writing inequalities, writing expressions from words, graphing an inequality on a number line, unit rates with complex fractions, creating a circle graph) and held 45 others where a clause is still not fully exercised. The auditors also caught that a typed answer could be equivalent without being what the prompt asked for — typing a formula back unchanged when asked to solve it for a letter, or a solution when asked for the equation. The checker now holds the answer to the asked-for form. One ratio-plot item that could mark a correct pick wrong is fixed, printed worksheets never carry a type-it item, and a Spanish outcome table’s rows are readable again. The published standards reports carry the new verdicts.
• “Explain why” — now really asked — in grades 6–8, math skills whose standards say explain or describe (absolute value, what zero means, opposites summing to zero, ordering negatives, unit rate, the sign rule for division, what a line’s slope and intercept mean, why a crossing point solves a system, why parallel lines give no solution) now occasionally ask for a sentence or two in the student’s own words, graded by the same Writing Coach check with the same pre-written coaching lines. It follows the Writing Coach switch exactly: a class with it off never sees one, and nothing a child reads is written by the model. Our privacy pages say so in the same words.
• Bilingual through grade 8, said precisely — the child, parent and teacher experience for Pre-K–8 runs in English and Spanish. Our pages used to say “fully bilingual”; they now say “bilingual through grade 8”, and a check in our build keeps every Pre-K–8 skill carrying a Spanish name.
• Nothing a child finishes goes missing — a wifi blip mid-round could leave a class student’s finished rounds off the teacher’s dashboard; changing a middle schooler’s grade could cut their skill levels; two children with the same first name could share one cloud record; and an app update could reload mid-round. All four are fixed, each with a test that fails on the old behaviour.
• A district’s Writing Coach switch now truly switches it off — for every child in that class and every round type, including children whose family signed in with a cloud account.
• Honest numbers everywhere — progress reports and class mastery no longer count an assigned-but-untouched skill as “practiced” (or average in its zero); the streak award says what it measures; the accuracy trend shows a gap on rest days instead of a plunge to 0%; the family dashboard’s “✓” shows correct out of answered.
• Printables and packets — writing prompts no longer reach packets that can’t print them (no more blank items or “undefined” in an answer key); the Sub-Day cover names any child without a sheet; the ESA portfolio lists every logged book; the Spanish ESA bundle says Pre-K–12 like the English one.
• Lighter on old tablets — three idle-screen costs removed (a button shimmer, the sound engine’s first-tap delay, and the mascot’s always-on animation, which now also respects reduced motion). Settings shows the real build date.
• Privacy details corrected — our privacy pages and the in-app privacy screen now name every outside service that receives data, including Anthropic, which scores Writing Coach answers, and Resend, which sends the weekly family summary. They also describe the Writing Coach safety note exactly as it works. Some earlier wording said less was shared than really is; the District Privacy Evidence Pack lists what changed.
• Class sign-in got safer — continuing as an existing student on a new device now takes the short code printed on that child’s login card, or a one-tap teacher approval that signs every other device out of that name. Typing a classmate’s name is no longer enough. First-time joining is unchanged: first name, animal, class code.
• Middle school arrived — grades 6–8 across math and ELA: ratios to linear equations, geometry and statistics, an adult-register reading program, and grammar & usage — every family adversarially re-verified against Kansas and Missouri standards before the switch flipped.
• High school arrived (grades 9–12) — a new $99/yr High School plan with course-bucketed practice: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and English I–IV, plus EOC- and SAT-weighted readiness meters and transcript-ready mastery records. Existing plans and prices did not change — Pre-K–8 stayed $59/$69/$119.
• Grades 9–12 standards reports published — code-by-code Kansas and Missouri high-school alignment, audited adversarially and published with the gaps listed as plainly as the coverage, and a playable live item beside most FULL and PARTIAL rows (Writing Coach rows cannot be sampled): Kansas · Missouri.
• Readiness rounds & find-my-level for 9–12 — the readiness meter's Practice button now deals a 10-question round in the named exam's own blueprint proportions, and a course-aware diagnostic places a new high schooler at their real working level. The 9–12 surface also dropped the mascot, confetti, and cheer — teens get the numbers, plainly.
• School licenses reach high school — when a school or district license includes grades 9–12, high schoolers join their class with its code and teachers can add them to the roster; a class without that license explains itself kindly instead of failing. Teachers' roster pickers now run Pre-K–8 everywhere, and a student a teacher already listed picks up that same row when they join.
• AcornSmarts is now Pre-K–12 — 104 leveled skills across six subjects, still bilingual (English/Spanish) through grade 8, still offline-first, still no ads or tracking.

August 2026

• New family rituals — My Museum (pin a problem you’re proud of), Teach the Squirrel, Sprout Capsules (bury a stumper with a note to future-you), Whisper Word, the Question Jar (your wonders reach the family dashboard — the app never answers for you), and Ring Day (one permanent ring per mastered skill). None award points; all stay on your device.
• Play the Standard — every FULL and PARTIAL verdict on our public K–5 alignment reports now carries a “▶ Play a live item” link: try the exact practice item behind the claim. No account, nothing saved.
• Writing arrived — a Writing subject with prompts and coaching lines authored under human direction. An AI model (Anthropic’s Claude) scores each answer and picks from those pre-written lines. A safety layer keeps a note on that device when an answer seems to share private details or real-life distress; the note shows only in that device’s grown-ups area, behind the grown-ups gate, and is never sent to us or to a school.
• Keepsakes & backups — the printable Forever File now carries dated mastery rings, museum picks, and completed time capsules; a monthly Poster of the Month joined the print row; the Almanac gently reminds you to back up, and restores show what’s inside first.
• For evaluators — a reviewer page with playable evidence and a live line from our daily monitoring, and the District Privacy Evidence Pack published in full.
• Accessibility, checked — an automated WCAG scan of a set of key family screens; the two contrast issues it found were fixed, and the scan now runs before every release.
• Standards depth — Kansas and Missouri math both reached zero NOT-COVERED codes (October’s re-audit moved a few back: the K–5 reports now list one in Kansas math and four in Missouri math), every remaining PARTIAL carries a named gap note, and startup got dramatically lighter for older tablets.

July 2026

• Writing skills shipped; Single Student ($59/yr) went live; checkout was rebuilt end-to-end and now has a synthetic purchase probe watching it daily.
