Smarter goal formatting for district compliance

Polaris now helps keep goals more district compliant by automatically filling in missing key details when you update a goal. If your updated goal statement is missing any of the following:

• Date
• Target value
• Mastery criteria

Polaris will append the missing information at the end of the goal statement in brackets [ ].

This lets you write the goal in your district’s required format while still giving Polaris the structured data it needs to support accurate progress monitoring after the IEP is finalized.

Here’s an example of a goal generated by Polaris, not yet changed by a user:

Here’s an example of how a user may change the goal to be more in their districts format:

Here is an example of what Polaris will update the goal statement to be, to make sure it includes mastery criteria text (notice the 3 out of 4 trials in brackets):

Don’t forget!

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