As we prepare for another busy back-to-school season, 2026 brings a powerful set of updates from TeacherLists designed to give schools and districts more control, improve accessibility for families, and deliver deeper insight into supply list engagement. These enhancements make it easier than ever to manage, share, and understand your school supply lists.

Embedded Module Self-Service

Schools and districts now have more control over how supply lists are embedded directly on their websites.

• Generate your own module: Admins can create a TeacherLists embedded module using iframe embed code directly from the My Schools or My Districts dashboard.
• Simple setup: Click “Generate Module Code,” enter your homepage URL, and follow a quick two-step setup process.
• Instant access: Receive embed code and instructions immediately—no waiting.
• Easy updates: Use “Manage Module Code” to edit domains or update configurations anytime.

If you have questions, TeacherLists is here to support you at any time as you set up and manage your supply lists.

Supply List Page Translation

Language support has expanded beyond embedded modules—now families can view supply lists in their preferred language directly on the TeacherLists site.

• Language dropdown: A new selector appears at the top of supply list pages.
• Broader accessibility: Full list content and item details are now available in supported languages.
• Seamless experience: Families can switch languages without leaving the page.

This enhancement ensures all families can confidently view and understand supply lists in their preferred language.

Clear Communication for Schools Without Supply Lists

We know that not every school, grade, or classroom uses supply lists—and even within a district, practices can vary. That’s why we’ve made it easier to clearly communicate what families should expect.

• Custom messaging: Add a message directly to your school page and embedded module to explain your approach.
• Optional notifications: Keep the sign-up option if you plan to share lists later.
• Set expectations: Let families know if lists are coming soon—or if they won’t be provided.

This helps reduce confusion and ensures families always have clear, helpful information.

Enhanced Data Insights Reporting

New updates to Data Insights give districts more detailed visibility into how families engage with supply lists.

• Retailer Click Insights: View Buy Now engagement by retailer.
• Translation Metrics: Track how often lists are viewed in different languages and identify most-used languages.
• Custom Date Ranges: Filter reporting by any timeframe for more precise analysis.
• CSV Export: Download data for offline reporting and stakeholder sharing.

These improvements help districts better understand engagement and optimize communication strategies.
