Low Grade Alert
We have a new Alert for the Gradebook, allowing you to notify parents of low grades. This feature currently works only for the default Grading Scale. Here’s how it works:
- Enable the School-wide Alert under “School Profile”
- Configure the low grades under “Grading Setup”
- Notification for teachers when saving the Gradebook
- Notification for Parents
- Opting out of alerts for Parents
Enable the School-wide Alert
Under “Settings” > “School Profile”, there is a setting under “School-wide Alert Settings” for “Gradebook – Low Grade Alert”:
The alert is disabled by default. You can opt parents in or out by default. Parents can still opt in/out individually once the feature is enabled.
| NOTE: This first version currently supports Email Alerts only. In the near future, we’ll be adding support for this alert to the “Home by QuickSchools” Mobile App |
Configure the Low Grades
Under “Grading Setup”, there is a new setting called “Low Grade Alerts” where you can configure the Letter Grades and Codes that warrant an alert:
