Student Notes

 

Teachers have a bonus feature in Teacher Web. It is designed to allow teachers to jot themselves a note or three about a student’s performance in class. These notes can be kept private or shared with the parent through Parent Connect.

To access the Student Notes feature, click on Entry Options and then select Student Notes at the bottom of the menu.

4.  Add a description about the note, and then select the class to which the note applies. Select the grade book in which the note applies, then type the note about the student.

5.  The last item "Parental View on Web", highlighted in yellow below is very important.

If it is checked, a parent will be able to view the note via Parent Connect.

If it is unchecked, the note will remain private to you the teacher. An administrator cannot view these notes either.

The default is unchecked.
