Flexible IEP start dates

We've heard your feedback! You can now set IEP start dates up to 365 days in the past, making it easier to backdate IEPs when needed. Previously, start dates were limited to today's date or the end of an active IEP, but we've removed those restrictions to give you more flexibility.

Don’t forget!

The Beta IEP writing experience and the new dashboard redesign will become the standard experience in June 2026.

Ready to try it out?

The next time you create a new draft IEP for a student, choose the Beta experience to explore these new features. We think you're going to love how much smoother and more intuitive the IEP writing process has become.

As always, we appreciate your feedback as we continue to enhance Polaris Beta. Happy IEP writing!
