Teacher Notes
This program will provide a way for 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 but 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

- Below Title, there is an option to configure the Note as Make Public or to make the Note Student Visible.
- 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 be visible to parent, guardians and students who have a username and password. Otherwise, only mother, father and guardian can view.
- 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.

- There are additional filters on the Students set up box if you want to further filter your student list.
