Teacher Notes
This program will allow teachers to create Notes (messages) for their students to be viewed in the Student Progress Center. The teacher name and course name will be included in the Teacher Notes display section of the Student Progress Center. It will not generate a phone call, text or email.
There is an User Management security for this ability. Profile-TE→ Category-Grades→ Program-Classroom→ Program Permission-RW→ Action-Teacher Notes→ Action Permission-Read Write
Creating a Note
- Click on the Add button at the bottom of the screen to bring up the Note Editor Window.
- Type in a Title and in the white text area, type in your note information.
- Below Title, there is an option to configure the Note as Make Public or to make the Note Student Visible (normal setting).
- (a) 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.
- (b) If Student Visible (normal setting) is selected, the Note will only be visible to parent-guardians and students who have a username and password.
- If the Note is only for one or a few students, you can click in the field labeled Students, then choose Select Students and select from a list. Leave blank to send the Note to all students.
- If you want to include more sections (in addition to the one chosen originally at the bottom of the gradebook screen), also click on Students and then Sections, to chose additional sections.
- There are additional filters on the Students set up box as well if you want to further filter your student list.
NOTE: A teacher also has the aforementioned abilities after she chooses "Teacher Notes" in her gradebook.
- Click on Add, answer yes to the questions and the Note Editor will close and the user will see a listing of created notes in a table at the top left.
