What's new

October 2026

  • Foyer screen. Premium schools and centres can show their upcoming events and notices on a TV in their entrance. Add the screen with the code it shows, in Foyer screen on a computer. More

  • Notifications are off. If notifications are off for JuggleBoard, for example after reinstalling the app, Events tells you, and Turn on fixes it, so your reminders aren't missed. More

  • Share with another parent. Copy your children to another parent's or carer's phone: tap the share button at the top of My children and they scan your code. Your accounts stay separate afterwards, and names never reach JuggleBoard. More

  • Only the years that matter. Events for years none of your children are in, like a Year 6–8 trip when your child is in Year 2, are left out of Events. Tap Show at the top to see them. When you add an event, choosing its years keeps it out of other families' feeds. More

  • Where your children go. When you add a child, the schools and centres your other children go to are listed first, then any others you follow, then a search for a different one. Adding a child at one you only follow makes it one of theirs. More

  • Schools with no events yet. If a school or centre you follow hasn't added any events, Events says so and offers Ask your school to join, which writes the email to the office for you.

  • Add to calendar. Tap ⋮ on an event, then Add to calendar, to put it in your own Google, Apple or Outlook calendar. More

  • Reminder counts. Events you post show how many people have set a reminder for them, so you can see the interest. Staff see it on all their school's events. Only the number is shown, never who. More

  • My children. Setting up now starts with your children: add each child's school or centre (joining it on the way) and their year or group. Events for them show their name, and the chips at the top of Events show one child's events. My children is now a tab, with Schools & centres at its bottom. When a child changes school, tap Changed school or centre; each new school year, and before a child's last year ends, Events checks in with you. Children's names stay on your phone and never reach JuggleBoard. More about My children

  • Search. Tap 🔍 on Events to find any event at your schools and centres, upcoming or from the past year, by its name, place, school or type. It copes with a typo. 🔍 on Notices searches notices.

  • Reminders for the same day now come as one notification that lists them ("3 things tomorrow: ..."), and tapping a reminder opens its event. All-day events no longer say "starts at 12:00 am".

  • Pending Notifications shows reminders that have been sent at the top, under Sent, with a tick and when they went. Sent reminders are removed 2 days after their event, and reminders for cancelled events are no longer listed.

  • Your feed now goes week by week: each week with something on starts with a line, named the way schools do: "Week 4 · 2 – 8 Nov" or "School holidays". Today and Tomorrow are picked out within this week, and next year's events come under Next Year. The old "Later This Week", "Next Week", "Later This Month" and similar headings are gone.

  • School term dates now show as a slim teal line instead of a card: the last day of term after that day's events, the first day back before them.
  • Events and notices from parents, and from schools and centres on the free plan, no longer have a grey edge that made them look switched off. A green edge now marks official posts from Premium schools and centres.
  • School terms: your feed now shows the last day of each term and the first day back for your schools, from the Ministry of Education's dates (see Events). Schools can set their own first and last day of the year, and early learning centres that follow the school terms can turn them on.
  • The Schools tab is now Your places: it holds your early learning centres as well as your schools.
  • Fixed: when you add an event, Who's it for? now offers the school's own year levels (for example Years 7 and 8 at an intermediate) and any names the school has given them.
  • A fresh new look. Event cards are smaller, so you see more at a glance: tap one to see its whole description and links. Events, Notices and Schools & centres are tabs along the bottom (down the side on a computer), and you add an event or notice with the New button (the + at the top on an iPhone). On iPhones, JuggleBoard looks and feels more like other iPhone apps.
  • Dark mode: JuggleBoard follows your phone's setting.
  • Every field on the event form keeps its label once you've filled it in, and your school list says plainly whether each one is open or invite only.
  • JuggleBoard now speaks to early learning centres as well as schools. School Events is now Events, School Notices is now Notices, Select Schools is now Schools & centres, and when you add an event, Year Levels is now Who's it for?
  • Schools are now either Open Access or Invite Only. You can join an open school straight away; an invite-only school asks for its invite code, and only members who've entered it see its events and notices.
  • Every invite-only school has an invite code, and school administrators can generate a new one themselves.
  • Choosing year levels for an event is simpler.
  • Reminders and notifications are more reliable, and signing out works properly.
  • Editing an event no longer changes its time by mistake, and deleted events no longer appear in the feed.
  • New Refresh profile option in the menu, if your schools or permissions look out of date.
  • We've simplified JuggleBoard to focus on the essentials. Feed filters and Useful Links have been removed for now, and all events for your schools are shown in your feed.

  • Events can be cancelled or rescheduled, with an optional message, and you see the change on the event.
  • Parents can post notices at schools that allow it.
  • Add to Calendar copies an event into your phone's calendar.
  • Events can include links, such as a permission slip or a map, and event cards have a fresh look.
