This article details personal notifications for Parent accounts.
Email and text message notifications are separate from the Notifications menu (bell icon) in the header. The bell icon displays a running list of academic activity related to your account and can’t be customized. To receive the same notifications as your child, add your email or phone number to your child’s notification settings.
For information regarding notifications about your child's Schoology activity, refer to Parent Email Digests and Overdue Notifications.
For information on mobile notifications, refer to iOS Mobile App (Parents): Notifications or Android Mobile App (Parents): Notifications.
Schoology sends email notifications for any Social, Academic, Group, and School activity that occurs in your account. These notifications pertain to the school, courses, and groups in which you are enrolled, not courses or groups in which your child is enrolled.
To access your personal account notifications, click your name in the header and choose Settings. From your account, navigate to Notifications.
