Administrator's Plus v 6.2.03.01
We are excited to let you know that the transition from Classic Administrator's Plus to our new platform is well underway! We now have several hundred early adopters who have opted-in to AdminPlus.com. Customers will continue to be able to use Classic Administrator's Plus while familiarizing themselves with the new modern interface of AdminPlus.com. This release of Classic Administrator's Plus includes settings for early adopters who have been configured to edit, allowing them to choose module-specific editing options on AdminPlus.com.
Early adopters who want to enable editing will need to have their Administrator's Plus Supervisor contact the AdminPlus Team.
Schools that have opted in to AdminPlus.com must run an All Data Sync from the TeacherPlus Setup & Sync Manager for these changes to take effect. The Send all Pictures and Send All IEP's options can remain unchecked.
