Aeries: Parent Gradebook Alerts
Parent Alerts allow Parents to monitor when their Student’s Grades or Assignment Scores rise or fall below a set level. Additionally, Parents can choose to be notified when a Student Assignment is missing.
Sign in to Aeries Parent Portal to setup Gradebook Alerts
The Parent Portal displays a Gradebook Alerts notification widget on the Parent Home page. The Gradebook Alerts widget displays the number of Alerts that have been enabled for the current Student.
A link to the Gradebook Alerts page is available at the bottom of the widget.
The Gradebook Alerts page can also be accessed in the Parent Portal from the User Settings dropdown menu.
Gradebook Alerts for Course Grades and Assignments can be set up for the current Student on the Gradebook Alerts page. The bottom of the Gradebook Alerts page displays the names of the Students associated with the Parent account and who are enrolled in a School or grade level where alerts are enabled.
Clicking the Add New Alert button allows the Parent to add a new Gradebook Alert.
Course Grade Alerts can be set up to receive a notification when the Course Grade Falls Below or Rises Above a defined mark. Click on Add New Alert next in the Course Grade Alert area. One alert can be set up for the Rise Above or Fall Below option.
There are two types of Gradebook Assignment score alerts available for Parents to add: Are Above and Are Below. In the example below the Gradebook assignment score Alert is set for assignment scores that Are Below 75%.
An Assignment Is Missing Alert can be enabled by clicking on the On/Off button. Setting Assignment is Missing to On sends an Alert notification when an assignment is marked as Missing for the Student.
Once all Gradebook Assignment Alerts have been created, the Add New Alert button is no longer visible on the blue banner for that Alert type. Clicking the Edit button allows the Parent to change or delete an Alert. In the example below the Score Below threshold was edited to alert the Parent if the Student’s assignment mark scored below 75%.
When a threshold is met, an email is generated to alert the Parent.
