Other Modules

I want to be able to configure my notification preferences for messaging

The ability to schedule and then allow parents to book time-slots for Parent-Teacher Conferences, Student-Led Conferences or simply for parent volunteers for events.

I would like Toddle to include a dedicated After School Activities (ASA) module to manage clubs and enrichment programs. The module should allow schools to: -Create and publish ASA offerings by grade, term, day, and time -Set capacity limits, waiting lists, and eligibility rules -Enable parent/student sign-ups with automatic cut-offs -Track attendance for each session -Assign teachers/coaches to activities -Optionally support paid activities This module would be especially valuable for international and IB schools, where ASAs are a core part of student life but currently managed outside Toddle using spreadsheets or external tools. A dedicated ASA module would significantly streamline operations and improve the parent and student experience.

Platform Context This proposal is intended for implementation within the Toddle ecosystem. It builds on existing structures such as teacher profiles, class assignments, timetables, attendance, seating plans, student data, and role-based permissions, while introducing enhanced workflows for substitute teacher management, workload balancing, and instructional preparedness. Overview Enhance and restructure Toddle’s system workflow to include a dedicated Substitute Teacher Management System that enables schools to plan, assign, balance, and analyze substitute coverage, while clearly distinguishing permanent teaching loads from substitution assignments and safeguarding teachers’ instructional preparation time. The system will provide leadership with real-time visibility of workloads, enabling fair distribution of duties without compromising lesson quality. Purpose and Rationale The enhanced Substitute Teacher Workflow System will: Ensure instructional continuity during teacher absences Balance teaching and substitution loads fairly across staff Protect instructional planning and preparation time Reduce burnout caused by uneven substitution expectations Support data-driven staffing and operational decisions Core Functional Requirements (Toddle-Aligned) Teacher Availability, Absence & Load Visibility Teachers can log planned and unplanned absences with affected classes System displays current number of classes assigned per teacher, clearly separating: - Regular (timetabled) classes - Temporary substitution assignments Visibility of daily and weekly load at teacher, department, and school levels Substitute Teacher Pool & Profiles Centralized substitute directory with: Subject and grade-level alignment Compliance and certification status Real-time visibility of each substitute’s: Current coverage load Remaining availability Balanced Substitute Assignment Logic Assignment rules that consider: Teacher’s existing teaching load Frequency of prior substitution assignments Subject alignment and availability System flags potential over-allocation to protect staff workload balance Leadership override available with justification logging Instructional Preparation & Continuity Protection of Instructional Preparation Time Ability to tag periods as: Instructional Preparation / planning Substitute assignments avoid protected preparation periods where possible Dashboards highlighting: Lost preparation time due to substitutions Staff at risk of preparation overload Linked Class, Seating Plan & Lesson Access Substitutes receive time-bound, read-only access to: Assigned class lists Seating plans Lesson handover notes and materials Learning Support, Safeguarding & Context Learning Support & Safeguarding Indicators Visual indicators for: Learning support needs Behavior or wellbeing alerts (role-appropriate) Seating or classroom accommodations Emergency contacts and procedures visible where permitted Communication, Handover & Documentation Teacher-to-Substitute Handover Notes Structured handover notes linked to: Class Date or lesson Attachments for lesson plans, worksheets, or digital resources Automated Notifications Notifications for assignment, changes, and cancellations Visibility for coordinators and leadership Workload Monitoring & Reporting Teacher Workload & Preparation Analytics Dashboards showing: Total classes per teacher Breakdown of regular vs substitute assignments Impact on preparation periods Trends to support: Workload equity Instructional quality assurance Exportable Reports Reports filtered by: Teacher, department, or date range Teaching vs substitution load Preparation time impact Exportable to PDF / Excel for HR and leadership review Permissions, Security & Governance Role-Based Access Control Teachers: view own load and preparation impact Substitute teachers: view assigned classes only SLT / coordinators: full visibility and override authority Integration & Scalability Seamless Toddle Integration Integrated with: Teacher profiles and timetables Seating Plan and lesson modules Student profiles and safeguarding systems Scalable across programmes, cycles, and campuses Expected Impact Fair, transparent workload distribution Preserved instructional preparation time Improved lesson quality during substitutions Reduced staff fatigue and improved morale Success Indicators Balanced substitution distribution across staff Minimal loss of preparation time Positive staff feedback on fairness and workload management Sustained instructional quality during absences

Implement a pinning mechanism within the messaging interface. This allows users to fix specific conversations or channels to the top of the chat list, ensuring immediate access to high-priority threads regardless of the most recent activity.

School wants the IA deadlines to be independent for each levels, right now if we edit the dealine in HL class it's effecting the IA deadline in SL too.

Platform Context This proposal is intended for implementation within the Toddle ecosystem. It builds on staff profiles, class assignments, calendars, communication tools, student records, and role-based permissions, while introducing an integrated system for performance evaluation, wellbeing, school services feedback, and professional development tracking. Overview Create a Staff Performance, Evaluation & Wellbeing Management module that supports distinct but aligned workflows for Teaching Staff and Non-Teaching Staff, integrating performance evaluation, stakeholder feedback, school services evaluation, and professional development (PD) planning, with termly and yearly analytics. Purpose and Rationale The system will: Ensure fair, role-appropriate evaluation for all staff Capture student, parent/guardian, and internal service feedback Monitor staff wellbeing, satisfaction, and service effectiveness over time Link evaluation outcomes to targeted professional development Support inspection, accreditation, and strategic improvement planning Core Functional Requirements (Toddle-Aligned) Role-Based Staff Classification Clear distinction between: Teaching Staff (teachers, learning support teachers) Non-Teaching Staff (administration, operations, IT, support services) Role determines: Evaluation instruments Feedback sources PD pathways and reporting views Teaching Staff Evaluation Framework Teaching Performance & Instructional Evaluation Formal teaching observations Learning walks / walk-throughs Classroom display and learning environment evaluations Multi-Source Feedback Self-evaluation and peer evaluation Leadership evaluation Student feedback (age-appropriate, anonymized) Parent/guardian feedback focused on communication, learning support, and wellbeing Non-Teaching Staff Evaluation Framework Non-Teaching Performance & Service Delivery Role-specific evaluations focusing on: Operational effectiveness Professional conduct and collaboration Service quality and responsiveness Internal Stakeholder Feedback Line-manager and leadership evaluation Optional feedback from staff groups served (where appropriate) School Services Evaluation School Services Feedback & Monitoring Structured evaluation of school services, such as: Student services and wellbeing support Administration and front-office services IT and digital systems support Facilities, transport, and safety-related services Feedback sources may include: Staff Students (age-appropriate) Parents/guardians Dashboards showing: Service effectiveness trends Termly and yearly comparison results Areas requiring improvement or resourcing Job Satisfaction & Wellbeing Monitoring Termly & Yearly Job Satisfaction Surveys Separate surveys for: Teaching staff Non-teaching staff Aggregated results showing: Term-by-term trends Year-on-year comparisons Focus areas: Workload and work–life balance Leadership support Professional growth Overall morale and wellbeing Professional Development (PD) Management PD Needs Identification & Planning Link evaluation outcomes, service feedback, and satisfaction data to: Individual PD needs Team or department PD priorities Ability to tag PD needs related to: Instructional practice Leadership skills Operational efficiency Service quality improvement PD Tracking & Impact Evaluation Record PD participation, including: Internal training External workshops or certifications Track: Completion status Reflections and feedback Impact on performance and service delivery Dashboards linking: PD engagement Performance improvement Service quality outcomes Reporting, Analytics & Governance Performance, Services & PD Dashboards Dashboards for: Individual staff (private view) Departments / service teams Whole-school leadership Insights across: Performance trends Student and parent feedback alignment School services effectiveness PD participation and impact Role-Based Access & Data Protection Staff: access to own records only Evaluators / line managers: assigned staff or services SLT / HR: full oversight Strict controls for wellbeing, student, and parent feedback data Expected Impact Stronger alignment between performance evaluation, school services, and PD planning Improved quality of teaching, leadership, and operational services Better staff morale and wellbeing through responsive support Clear evidence for inspection and accreditation Data-driven continuous improvement culture Success Indicators High completion rates of evaluations, surveys, and PD plans Clear termly and yearly improvements in service effectiveness PD activities aligned to identified needs Positive feedback from staff, students, and parents Measurable improvements in performance and service delivery

Let organisers add or remove reminders for events so everyone stays notified at the right time.

Currently, there's no way for independent schools to filter units by type of planner. They see mostly IB units there.

The school would like the ability to create non-graded courses. These courses would not be part of the gradebook or include any type of evaluation; instead, they would be used to keep documentation related to a specific course or activity. They function as community time / rotating exploratories, where students do not receive grades and they can't create something like this in Toddle at the moment
