  1. Under the heading Call Time Options, set the start and stop times for all calls going out to the parents for each group of days. (Monday - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
  2. A separate call start time can be set for new assignments created by teachers. This option can be found under New Assignment Call Time. A start time is all that is needed as the system will follow the stop time found under Call Time Options.
  3. Group Call Options will allow for different types of calls to be grouped together so that a parent will not receive multiple phone calls throughout the day. Apply a start time for Monday - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The system will follow the stop time found under Call Time Options. After setting the start times, enter the codes of the call types, separated by commas, to group together in the field labeled Grouped Call Types.
  4. DO Call
    • For the settings in the last three blanks, if no schools are listed, then all schools will receive the calls. If some schools are listed, then the ones listed will receive the calls and the ones not listed will not receive the calls.
    • Failing Grades Run Time will allow the user to select the hour or hours, in military time, to send out the failing grades calls.
  5. Do Not Call will not send calls to students at selected schools and also lets you choose selected call types to not send.
    • In the field labeled Excluded Call Types, enter the call type codes, separated by commas, to not send certain call types to students and parents.
    • Enter the school site codes into the field labeled Excluded Schools to exclude schools from sending any calls to students and parents.
  6. Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
