Creating a Note

Click the "Add" button at the bottom of the screen to bring up the "Note Editor" Window. If the Note is only for a few students, you can click in the field labeled "Students" and select from a list of options to restrict the number of students to send the Note to. Then select the students from the last field in the window. Leave blank to send the Note to all students. Click in the "Title" field to create a title for the Note. Below "Title", there is an option to configure the Note as Make Public or to make the Note Student Visible (normal setting).

• If "Make Public" is selected and your district displays the "Browse" button on the Student Progress Center, the Note will be visible to everyone who visits the Student Progress Center without requiring a username and password.
• If "Student Visible" (normal setting) is selected, the Note will only be visible to parent-guardians and students who have a username and password.

In the white text area, begin typing the Note. When finished composing the Note, click the Add button. The Note Editor will close and the user will see a listing of created Notes.
