New Features
Added Student E-Mail Specification for Google Classroom Integration
The Student E-Mail Field for Google Integration specification was added to AdminPlus (Tools > TeacherPlus Setup & Sync Manager > Send (Sync) Settings). This specification allows schools that either do not provide their students with PlusPortals IDs or whose students have different Google Classroom and PlusPortals usernames to sync students' Google Classroom accounts with TeacherPlus Gradebook. By default, the specification is set to the field selected in E-Mail > Initial Setup Wizard > Identifying Student E-Mail Fields > Student E-Mail.
You can view the field being used for Google Integration in TeacherPlus Gradebook Management Site by navigating to General Settings > Google Classroom Settings.

Feature Fixes
Fixed Issue When Changing Co-Teacher to Main Teacher
After changing a co-teacher to the main teacher of a course in AdminPlus and syncing the change to TeacherPlus, the teacher will be listed solely as the main teacher of the course. Previously, the co-teacher designation remained in addition to the main teacher designation.
Fixed Issue When Saving a Custom Report
Previously, some admin encountered an error when they attempted to save a custom report to Excel if their school name contained an ampersand. This has been fixed.
