Hiding Common Core Grade Level for Students
I would like an option to hide the standard my students are working on. I have differentiated my groups according to the skills each student needs to work on but I don't want them to know that they are working below grade level.

In 2.0, students do not see the grade level of the content. Great suggestion! Keep em coming!

Proficiency Report
Currently parents can see the proficiency by concept report with the lowest % listed first. If you number these on the left hand side it would be easier for parents/teachers to assign the weakest concepts more easily.
For example if I want to make 2 assignments based on the weakest concepts I can click on 1-10 then 11-20 to make 2 assignments fast and easy without having to count where I left off.5 votesHello,
Thanks for the suggestion! We rolled out 2.0 and this process will be much smoother thanks to parents and partners like you!

Adaptive Progress Tracking

Thanks for the suggestion. With the rollout of 2.0, we have advanced the algorithms used to adapt practices for the student. Read all about it here (https://www.scootpad.com/features/mas-adaptive-practices).

easier referrals
It's too difficult to get teacher referral credits because of all the steps needed to input the name in your account settings. If you navigate through someone's personal link, the credit should register automatically.

Disappointed
Hello, my students were so disappointed at the changes to your website :( They loved the fireworks and emotion faces that you used to let them choose. They also said it looks so serious and not so much fun anymore. Just thought you'd like the feedback. Any chance we can get those features back?
Thanks!3 votesGood news! This feature has been added! Students can now set the emotion and the fireworks should also show at the end of practices and assignments.

Complexity in problems depending on abilities, and not just common core standards.
What I would like to see is the complexity in problems depending on abilities, and not just common core standards. e.g. if a kid finishes a unit for word problems that is needed for his grade level, there needs to be an option for him to go for more challenging unit in the word problems.

sync parent dashboards
When I create rewards for our student, my husband cannot see them on his parent dashboard. Conversely, when he creates a reward, I don't see it on my dashboard. Our student sees them both (good).
Parent dashboards should show the rewards for the student. Right now, for the other parent to see them, they have to sign in as the student15 votesHello,

Spelling idea
I would love to see spelling using a picture of what you want spelled and blanks. Maybe a hint button that adds a letter would be a "clue." so that kids can stay motivated. Maybe even a mode where all the letters were present in scrambled order for those that are really struggling. I make these worksheets up myself, using word, but it is very time consuming and I only have very rudimentary graphics.... I'd love to see an ScootPad Version of this spelling game for kids to try. I'd love to see lists of common spelling included sort of…
