School Connect 1.16.13

School Connect server module for Gibbon™. School Connect is a third-party application that is compatible with Gibbon. It is not an official Gibbon Foundation release.

Install or update: download School-Connect-1.16.13.zip below and unzip it into your Gibbon modules folder (the folder must be named School Connect). For a new install, go to System Admin → Manage Modules → Install; to update, click Update next to School Connect on the same page. Full steps are in the README.

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later (v30.0.02 recommended), PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

In this version (1.16.13):

• Sign-in works on more servers. Some hosting setups remove the header the app uses to stay signed in. On those servers the login succeeded, but the app then returned straight to the login screen. The module now also accepts the sign-in token in a second header, X-School-Connect-Token, which the app sends from version 1.16.14. No change to your server's configuration is needed.
• The module also checks one more place where Apache sometimes passes the standard header on.

Works with every version of the app. Schools whose sign-in already works will see no difference.

No database change: after uploading, click Update next to School Connect in System Admin → Manage Modules to record the new version.

School Connect 1.16.12

School Connect server module for Gibbon™. School Connect is a third-party application that is compatible with Gibbon. It is not an official Gibbon Foundation release.

Install or update: download School-Connect-1.16.12.zip below and unzip it into your Gibbon modules folder (the folder must be named School Connect). For a new install, go to System Admin → Manage Modules → Install; to update, click Update next to School Connect on the same page. Full steps are in the README.

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later, PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

Update recommended for all schools. This version makes grades in the app follow the same visibility rules as Gibbon's own website. On earlier versions, parents could see markbook columns that teachers had not made viewable to parents, and columns whose completion date had not yet arrived.

In this version (1.16.12):

• Grades follow Gibbon's Markbook permissions. What each person sees now comes from their role's Markbook permission in Gibbon, not from the role's name:
  • Parents see only columns marked Viewable to Parents, and students only columns marked Viewable to Students. Staff see every completed column, as on the student's Markbook tab on the web.
  • Columns whose completion date is in the future stay hidden until that date, so teachers can still schedule when results appear.
  • The term filter matches Gibbon: a column belongs to a term when its completion date falls within that term's dates.
  • Roles limited to "my classes" only see, and can only open, markbooks for classes they teach. A role with no Markbook permission sees no grades.
• Students with more than one family. The Family and Emergency Contacts screens' data now includes every family a student belongs to, as Gibbon's profile does (for example, two households). The next app update shows them all; current versions of the app keep showing the first family, as before.
• Japanese: the staff type "Support" is now 事務・支援, matching Support Staff.

Works with every version of the app, including 1.16.12 on the App Store.

School Connect 1.16.11

School Connect server module for Gibbon™. School Connect is a third-party application that is compatible with Gibbon. It is not an official Gibbon Foundation release.

Install or update: download School-Connect-1.16.11.zip below and unzip it into your Gibbon modules folder (the folder must be named School Connect). For a new install, go to System Admin → Manage Modules → Install; to update, click Update next to School Connect on the same page. Full steps are in the README.

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later, PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

Updated 7 November 2026: 28 languages. The download now includes every language below, with a second line-by-line review of the first 15. If you installed 1.16.11 before 7 November, upload the new i18n folder (or the whole module) over the old one. The version number is unchanged, so there is no need to click Update.

In this version (1.16.11):

• The app now speaks 28 languages: Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Hong Kong and Simplified), Croatian, Dutch, English (United States), French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Spanish (Spain, Mexico and the Dominican Republic), Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu and Vietnamese. Each person sees the app in their Gibbon language: their Personal Language from Preferences, otherwise the school's default. Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu run right to left.
• Gibbon's own wording, checked for the app. Most labels come from the translations you have installed in Gibbon. For every language, those labels were read in the context of their screens and, where needed, corrected for the app: wrong meanings, missing words (such as the role name "Teacher"), typos and inconsistent terms. Day names, roles, statuses and module names from the database are covered too. Your Gibbon website is not changed, and your String Replacements still apply.
• Text for app 1.16.11 (build 47): translated attendance messages ("Attendance saved!", "Class now", "Next class"), user statuses such as "Left", and lesson lengths in the planner.
• Catalan: Gibbon renamed ca_CA to ca_ES. The module now finds its Catalan file under either code.
• Cleaner text. The app shows Gibbon's translations the way a browser does: no stray line breaks or double spaces, accented letters written as HTML codes shown correctly, and hidden characters removed. A Gibbon translation that would leave a value such as a date unfilled is skipped, and the English is shown instead.
• With app 1.16.10: the phone's own buttons and date pickers follow the language too, and labels use each language's punctuation (for example "Rôle : Enseignant" in French).

All module translations are AI-assisted drafts awaiting review by native speakers at schools using each language. Corrections are welcome: contact tieku@highpointedu.com.

School Connect 1.16.10

School Connect server module for Gibbon™. School Connect is a third-party application that is compatible with Gibbon. It is not an official Gibbon Foundation release.

Install or update: download School-Connect-1.16.10.zip below and unzip it into your Gibbon modules folder (the folder must be named School Connect).

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later, PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

In this version (1.16.10):

• New: the app in your users' own language. The app (1.16.9 and later) shows its screens in each person's Gibbon language: their Personal Language from Preferences, otherwise the school's default, the same way Gibbon chooses it. It uses the languages you have installed in System Admin → Language Settings, so most labels match the website exactly. Your String Replacements still apply on top.
• The module includes its own translations for text that exists only in the app, in French, Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic. Arabic (and any right-to-left language) displays right to left.
• Dates and times follow the language too, for example 5 nov. 2026 · 14:30 in French.
• Fixed: notification times ("5 min ago") could be wrong when a phone was in a different time zone from the school; they now use the school's clock.

No database change: after uploading, click Update next to School Connect in System Admin → Manage Modules to record the new version.

School Connect 1.16.09

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later, PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

In this version (1.16.09):

• New: Impersonate User in the app (Admin → System Admin → Impersonate User, app 1.16.8 and later), the app's version of Gibbon's System Admin → Impersonate User. It uses Gibbon's own rules: only an Administrator acting as their primary role, with the Impersonate User permission, and only if their username is listed in the site's config.php:
  $allowImpersonateUser = ['username'];
  Without that line it stays off, as in Gibbon.
• In the app, an impersonation lasts at most 2 hours. A banner shows whose account you're viewing, with Return to my account. Each start and end is recorded in Gibbon's log.
• Also includes 1.16.08: the app's About & Privacy screen shows the module version.

Database change: after uploading, click Update next to School Connect in System Admin → Manage Modules (adds one table, gibbonConnectImpersonation).

• Fixed: the Parent Dashboard showed a child twice when the parent belongs to two family records that both include that child.

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later, PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

School Connect v1.16.05

School Connect server module for Gibbon™. School Connect is a third-party application that is compatible with Gibbon. It is not an official Gibbon Foundation release.

Install or update: download School-Connect-1.16.05.zip below and unzip it into your Gibbon modules folder (the folder must be named School Connect). For a new install, go to System Admin → Manage Modules → Install; to update, click Update next to School Connect on the same page. Full steps are in the README.

Requires: Gibbon v30.0.01 or later, PHP with cURL, HTTPS.

In this version (1.16.05):

• Supports the app's new "My Form Group" dashboard card: form tutors see straight away whether today's form group attendance has been taken, with absent and late counts, and can take it in one tap. It follows the same rules as Gibbon's own Attendance page: form groups you tutor, with attendance switched on, on days the school is open.
• Fixed: reopening a class or form group register in the app now shows the attendance already saved for that day. Before, every student appeared with the default code, so saving again could overwrite real marks.
• Fixed: times recorded through the app (attendance taken, behaviour, notifications, data updates) now use your school's local time, the same as Gibbon itself. Before, they could be several hours off on servers set to UTC. Records already saved keep their old times.

• The minimum Gibbon version is now v30.0.01, the version School Connect is tested on.
