Recurring Alert for Daily Distance Learning Students Unengaged

New Recurring Parent Alert Template & Filter:  Daily Distance Learning Students Unengaged

The Parent Alert system can send daily alerts (phone and/or texts and email) to parents of student who were unengaged in today’s, previous school day’s or the two previous school day’s lesson.  For example if today is Monday the previous school day would be Friday and two previous school days would be Thursday.

The reason for this is that schools are allowing students more than one day at times to complete assignments and to determine whether they were engaged or not.  Therefore they want alerts to go out after the grace period of completing assignments

Here are the steps in setting it up:

From the Administration menu go to Manage Telephone Alerts

Click New Recurring Alert

Under Template choose Daily Distance Learning Students Unengaged

Give the Job Name a title

Under Alert for Unengaged Students choose Today for today’s unengaged students, 1 in-session day ago for previous day’s unengaged students or 2 in-session days ago for 2 previous days unengaged students.

Fill in the Subject, Short Text and Full Message similarly to what follows:

Set the Delivery Time

For example:

The delivery time means the time which the alert will be sent regardless of whether it is looking at Today, 1 previous day or 2 previous days unengaged students.
