Optional Assignments
I'd love to see a way to make assignments optional and labeled or sorted as such. Maybe there could be another tab in the dashboard for optional assignments.
1 voteHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! You can use the current feature and label the assignment OPTIONAL. This is a great way for students to differentiate between what’s necessary and what’s not!

Assignment deleting
Ability to select and delete group of assignments. I accidently repeated my assignments weekly and it took forever to click and delete each and every one.
1 voteHello,
This feature currently exists. You can change the date to reflect all time. Then type in the name of the assignment without the #. Example: You created a weekly assignment called Numbers. If you type in Numbers and then change the dates, all of the assignments called Numbers will populate. You can then select all and delete in mass.

Scheduling assignments
Ability to schedule assignments to launch by date and time..... Ability to give an assignment without taking away adaptive practice option.

This feature exists. You can schedule assignments to appear for the student at a future date and this does not take away from their adaptive practices.

i have a dilemma
I am homeschooling my 4th grade grand daughter. I signed up for Scoot Pad several months ago (a free program). Yet there is absolutely nothing we can access. She can't read any of the online books from the library, there are no worksheets or classes...there is nothing. so why is this advertised as something great? I am very disappointed as I spent hours devising her curriculum before the end of last school year. If I am doing something wrong, please please let me know. If the free program can't do or access anything than I will just delete this account.
1 voteHello! Yes there is the At Home Learning Zone where you have access to grade k-8 content in math, ELA, Spelling, and eBooks! https://scootpad.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/471193-video-introduction-to-scootpad

Automatic assignments
There should be an option for teachers to turn on or off automated assigned work based on questions the students have missed.
1 voteHello,
You can turn off adaptive practice at a classroom level and the students can work on assignments you give.
Thanks for the support!

Engagement
There is zero engagement in this program. Having a more interesting layout and a character or avatar would make the program more interesting for students.
1 voteHello,
We have lots of games, avatars, and ways to keep students engaged! Check it out (https://www.scootpad.com/features/eng-coins-rewards)

Wrong Items for Standard
Set it up so that when we are helping students with a problem and we see that the problem is not appropriate for the standard have a way at that time to have the teacher send Scootpad a notification that there is a problem with that item. Maybe a special password or something that lets us inform Scootpad immediately.
1 voteHello,
Thanks for the suggestion. You can alert us of this content error by clicking the link to view details of the specific activity once the student finishes. This will allow us to see the exact question and the issue in question.
Thanks!

Not repeating Concept Improvement Assignments
I would like the ability to see whether or not I have assigned an improvement concept to a student previously or not. I tend to get confused on what I have assigned and fear that I'm assigning the same thing to the same students.
1 voteHello,
This feature currently exists. in the assignment view, when you select add new assignment there is a column which shows you the standards you have assigned.
Thanks!

bigger font on assignment page for students
The screen where students choose the activity needs to have bigger font so they can more easily choose the activity specified if I have posted multiple assignments.
1 voteHi there,
Students can see the one assignment you post when you assign the others to start at future dates as opposed to listing them all to start at the same time.
Thanks for your support!

Time Restrictions
Time restrictions -
I would like to be able to set a time restriction on individual assignments. I want some of the assignments to be done only in class and not at home, as I know my students will use calculators at home instead of working out the problems. So, on an assignment, I might restrict the work time to be between 7:30 to 2:00 only.1 voteIn our new Practice 2.0 this feature is available for Targeted Practice.

Instructors can set a min score percentage
After talking with my child's teacher about some of his work on here. I found out that some of the assignments are only considered completed if he has scored over an 80% on the assignment. I would like to see a feature were the instructors can set a percentage that needs to be hit before the assignment is marked completed.
1 voteHello,
An assignment is considered completed on ScootPad once the student answers all of the questions. The teacher can set the proficiency in order for the student to master the concept but the assignment will be marked complete irrespective of the %.

Short answer questions
Love Scootpad! The ability to add short answer questions in ELA would be great! I don't mind having to grade one or two questions myself. That way I can ask more in depth ELA questions and students can practice this skill before standardized testing!
3 votesHi there!
The writing portion is a great place to accomplish this as you can provide students with a prompt or question and they can respond!
Thanks for the support!

Use Scootpad to reinforce standard specific skills
Use Scootpad for extra practice on specific standards after you have re-taught them. It really helps reinforce the standard for the student! Later, the student usually meets the standard on your re-test.
1 voteHi there – You can assign concept improvement assignments from intervention or By Standard report to reinforce those standards with more practice.
Thanks so much for your feedback, support, and patience.

Class snapshot
It would be nice to have a class snapshot report where I could see total mastery &, but then also broken down by reading and language, without having to browse each kid individually.
1 voteHi there – You can use the “By Standard” mastery report to review the entire class proficiency in each standard. Here are instructions: https://scootpad.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/675646-how-to-view-proficiency-by-standard
Thanks so much for your feedback, support, and patience.
