Overview
This guide will explain the Missing Assignment and Progress Report Notification for parents. The notifications can be controlled by the school and parents. The parents must have Parent Portal permissions in order to get notifications.
Missing Assignment Notifications
AE-Connect now provides parents with the ability to receive missing assignment notifications when a user has marked an assignment as missing using the / for missing assignments in AE-Connect.
Schools have the option to enable or disable this feature for parents, or parents can choose to enable or disable it for themselves in the parent portal. The notifications are student-specific, not parent-specific.
When an assignment is marked as missing there is a 4 hour delay before the parent is notified to give the teacher time to update the grade before a notification is sent.
Student Progress Report
AE-Connect now provides parents with the ability to receive student progress reports either Daily or Weekly.
Schools have the option to enable or disable this feature for parents, or parents can choose to enable or disable it for themselves in the parent portal. The notifications are student-specific, not parent-specific.
