The Report Card is Moving to LinkedIn
Quick heads up before we dive in: this is the last Report Card that will be sent by email. Future editions will be posted on LinkedIn — follow our page there so you don't miss the latest report card.
📣 Announcing Assessment Manager
Getting assessment data into your dashboards shouldn't require emailing files and waiting. With the latest release of Assessment Manager, district teams can upload data directly through the Standard Education portal. No manual processing on our end, no delays on yours.
We initially launched with MAP Growth and ACT, and we're adding more assessments to the lineup. Upload the file exported from the assessment, confirm the sanity check summary, and you'll get an email when your dashboards are ready.
Available now for all Analytics customers. Not seeing it in your Assessments section? Contact us at support@standarded.com. On our SRSS package and interested to see it in action? Reply to this email or reach out to support@standarded.com to learn more about our Analytics platform.
Also in this release: Set a preferred dashboard in your account settings so you land on your most-used view at login. Plus a fix for an issue that could interrupt SSO logins.

For Our Friends in Georgia
The June deadline for HB 268 compliance doesn't grade on a curve. Some things can't be crammed for — and this is one of them. If your district is still working through what the Ricky & Alyssa Law requires — and what it means practically for your schools — we've put together a resource to help.

Not in Georgia? The underlying goal — helping students feel safe, seen, and heard — applies everywhere. Worth a read even if you’re not in Georgia.
If you’re in Georgia and will be at the GAEL 2026 Summer Conference July 12-15, drop us a line. This will be our first official conference! We’ll have swag and will be showcasing some of the new ways we’re helping school districts with their data.
Share Your End-of-Year Routine
Every district, building, and teacher has their own rhythm for closing out the school year. Whether it's a data cleanup, a staff sanity-saver, or something you wish you'd known your first year in education — we want to hear it.
Reply to this email with your best end-of-year tip. We'll feature our favorites in the next newsletter and our LinkedIn page, and we’ll send a little Standard Ed swag to anyone who gets included.
What’s coming next…
Jason, our head of product, has published a revamped roadmap at standardeducation.com/roadmap — including what’s shipping now and what’s in the pipeline for the rest of 2026. We’d love your feedback. Drop us a line if anything stands out.
That's a wrap for now. As always, if there's something you'd like to see from us — a feature, a conversation, some nachos — don't be a stranger.
We'll see you on LinkedIn!
