This article rounds up everything that's shipped in 2026 for Owners and Admins. New settings to configure, new reports to review, and new automation to reduce manual work, organized by the solution it belongs to.

Permission Level Required: Owner

Your school now has one centralized calendar showing FlexTime sessions, Bell Schedule, and events for every user, replacing the separate Events page.

You can now send announcements directly to parents by email to keep them informed of school news, without leaving Minga.

For a step-by-step guide, check out the Create a School Announcement article.

An automated email now goes out to parents every Saturday summarizing their student's week: hall pass usage, recognitions and consequences received, and points earned.

Check out Send Weekly Parent Summaries for steps to enable this feature.

The Minga Assistant launched in January, giving your staff AI-powered instant answers inside the app for common questions about how features work.

When a student can't get a pass right away, because of hallway capacity, a class limit, an active No Party Group, or a blackout period, Minga now holds the request in a queue instead of denying it outright. Students see their position in the queue, and the next student in line gets their pass automatically once a spot opens.

Learn more in Hall Pass Queue: Managing Hallway Waitlists Automatically.

You can now set a school-wide limit on how many students can be out of any class at once. Once that limit is reached, Minga automatically denies or holds further pass requests, no teacher has to enforce it manually.

A new report helps you spot likely student meetups before they happen and see whether your existing No Party Groups are actually working.

For a deeper dive, check out the Insights Reports article HERE.

A new report shows how tardy patterns are trending across your campus and flags individual students who need attention or deserve recognition for improving.

For a step-by-step walkthrough, check out our Tardy Insights guide.

A new report tracks the balance of praise versus guidance across campus and flags at-risk students early, so recognition stays equitable school-wide.

Refer to our Behavior Insights walkthrough for more information.

Instead of assigning detention as a consequence and managing the scheduling yourself outside Minga, you can now set up detention sessions with defined days, times, capacity limits, and blackout periods. When a scheduled detention is assigned as a consequence, Minga automatically enrolls the student into an available session that respects your capacity and blackout settings.

Learn more in Set Up and Manage Scheduled Detentions.

You can now organize the behaviors you track into standardized categories: Academic, Tardy, Behavioral, School Policy, or Other. This makes behavior reports filterable and comparable across your school.

Learn more in Create and Manage Behaviors for your School.

Any student left unregistered for an upcoming FlexTime session can now be automatically placed into an available activity, prioritizing sessions run by teachers the student already knows , either on demand or on a schedule you set.

Check out Set Up Automatic Flex Time Registrations for a detailed walkthrough.

Parents and students are now notified automatically when FlexTime registration opens for a period, so more students sign up and fewer end up unplaced.

To configure this setting, refer to the FlexTime Set Up Guide.

You can now clone a FlexTime period , along with all its activities and settings, across an entire date range in a few clicks, instead of rebuilding your schedule manually week after week.

Check out the article, Create FlexTime Periods for a step-by-step walkthrough on cloning Flex Periods.

The Flex activity type dropdown now includes Intervention, Enrichment, and Independent Work, so you can filter and schedule flex reports by these categories.

You can now control how far in advance Teachers and Students can see upcoming Flex Periods, so you can build out your schedule ahead of time without surfacing it before it's ready.

For a deeper look, refer to FlexTime Activity Templates: Creating, Cloning, and Assigning Activities.

You can now select multiple Flex Periods at once and delete them in bulk instead of one at a time. This is useful when resetting a schedule at the start of a semester.

Refer to Creating FlexTime Periods for a step by step walkthrough on bulk deleting Flex Periods.
