What's New in ChalkPay for Teachers
1.1.0
August 31, 2026
ChalkPay 1.1 is a top-to-bottom design refresh — the same numbers, with a lot more room to see them. BUILT FOR IPAD On a landscape iPad, the bottom tabs step aside for a sidebar and a proper toolbar, so getting around stops costing you screen. Where there's width to spare, the picture now sits beside the thing it pictures: • Paycheck — the year chart and your check log get the full column • Budget — the spending donut sits next to the categories it breaks down • Leave — a wider year calendar, with upcoming days off paired against recent ones • Career — your projection chart runs alongside the step table it's drawn from • Classroom — open a supply list and read it beside the rest of your lists; the expense chart sits with the ledger • Settings — sections down the left, the one you're editing on the right CLEANER ON IPHONE Buttons, fields, cards, and tabs are rebuilt on one shared set of parts, so a control looks and behaves the same wherever you meet it. The tab strip runs edge to edge and gets out of your way as you scroll, the pay-period stepper keeps its arrows anchored so the tap target doesn't slide out from under your thumb, and the page you're on is always named at the top. EASIER TO GET AROUND Tabs are now properly wired to the panels they open, so VoiceOver can move from a tab straight into its content. Tabs answer arrow keys if you're on a hardware keyboard, and every tap target is sized for a real thumb. Nothing about your data changed — your pay, budget, leave, career, and classroom numbers are exactly where you left them. Teaching's hard enough. The rest shouldn't be.
