Parent email digest

The email digest includes:

• The date range for the information displayed.

• The student’s name at the beginning of the email summary.

• A summary of each course for the student, including:

  • The student’s current grade for each course.

  • A summary of marked attendance, such as late, absent, or excused.

• Overdue submissions, including:

  • How many days the item is past due.

  • The assignment, test/quiz, or discussion title.

  • The course in which the item is due.

• Recent activity, including:

  • The student's posts and updates in courses, assignments, tests/quizzes, and discussions.

  • Recent submissions for assignments and tests/quizzes.

The digest includes up to five Summary items and up to ten Recent Activity items. To display more items, click the More option at the end of each area. If you have more than one student association, scroll down to display the Summary and Recent Activity for additional students.

You will receive one Overdue Notifications email for each time that your student fails to submit an item on time. You receive only one notification per late material, regardless of how long it remains unsubmitted.
