Minga has introduced some great new features specifically for Teachers, just in time for the new school year. This article rounds up everything that's landed so far in 2026 that affects your workflow in My Class, Hall Passes, FlexTime, and Positive/Negative Behavior management.

Permission Level Required: Teacher

You now have a single calendar view for everything happening at school: your classes, any FlexTime sessions you're running, and school events you're attending, all in one place inside Minga.

The Calendar page replaces the old Events page.

For a deeper dive, check out the Create and Promote School Events in Minga article.

Your hall pass activity view in My Class shows a student's daily hall pass history at a glance, without digging into a separate report.

Refer to the Student Information at a Glance section of the Teachers' Guide to MyClass for an in-depth look.

You can now tap a student directly from the hall pass dashboard to open their full profile, instead of navigating there separately.

Configured by your schools admin team, Minga now enforces a limit on how many students can be out of any class at once, automatically. You don't have to track it or say no yourself; once the limit is reached, additional pass requests are denied or added to the Hall Pass Queue.*

*(Plus and Premium plans only)

Refer to the Hall Pass Queue: Managing Hallway Waitlists Automatically for a walkthrough from a Teacher and Student perspective.

You can now generate randomized student groups right from My Class in a couple of clicks. Set No Party Groups to automatically keep specific students apart, save groups for ongoing projects, and share them with other staff who have access to the same class list.

Drag and Drop Students

An update landed in March: once you've generated groups, you can drag and drop students between groups instead of regenerating from scratch. This useful when a student is absent or a group just isn't working.

Learn more in the Create Class Groups section of Teachers' Guide to My Class.

You can now favorite your class lists so they pin to the top in My Class, making it faster to find the list you use most.

You can now see exactly where each of your students is enrolled for upcoming FlexTime sessions, right from My Class. Students who aren't enrolled anywhere are flagged clearly, so you can catch them before the period starts instead of finding out after.

Learn more in Viewing FlexTime Enrollment.

You can now log a behavior for a past date and time instead of only in the moment it happened. When you're logging a behavior in My Class or My Tools, you can adjust the date and time for when you would like the behavior to be recorded for.
