Solved: Activity Feed Question

gylepat · ‎09-13-2018

I serve as the instructional technology coach for our district so I don't have any real classes with real parents to test this out. I was wondering if parents get notified when a teacher places a message in the Activity Feed of Unified Classroom. I have teachers that really want to use this feature but they are afraid many parents will not see it if they don't login to their own UC dashboard. Having them receive a text message or even an email would be nice.

Hi @gylepat!

Thank you for your question in the PowerSchool Community!

With Unified Classroom if teachers add items to the Activity Feed, the items should be included in the Digest email that parents are sent uness the following items occurrs:

The Teacher selects Send Now when making the message - this means an email will be sent immediately
The parent has already seen the message in UC before the digest message has been sent out, meaning that it shouldn't be included in the digest for them
