Grade Notifications
Grade notifications can be configured to send email alerts when specific things occur related to the student's gradebook. Some examples include Low or High Score notifications, Missing assignment notifications, and gradebook last entry notifications. This will allow parents and guardians to stay abreast of the student's grades. To set this feature up, log into the Family Access and click on "My Messages" in the top right corner. Then click on Settings. Navigate through the options and be sure to click "Send A Copy to My Email"!
