It’s no secret that language shapes culture and that the words you choose carry meaning. As each school brings its own terminology and traditions, we want the platform to reflect that diversity more naturally, so families and staff see the language that feels familiar to them.

Today’s update solves that. With School Terminology Customization, you can now define the terms your school uses for core concepts like Class, Student, Guardian, and Staff. Once saved, your terminology appears throughout your school’s menus, forms, tables, and messages, giving everyone a consistent experience.

This change matters because terminology is not just labels. When families see the language they already use, they understand expectations faster and trust the system sooner. New staff onboard more smoothly, without having to reinterpret every screen. And your school’s identity carries through every interaction, without extra explanation or workarounds.
