What Students and Parents Will See
In the Student/Parent Portal:
• Students (and parents with portal access) will receive a notification.
• Clicking the notification will take them to Messaging > Emails.
• There, they can view the full assignment summary message.

In Their Email Inbox:
Students and parents will also receive the assignment summary directly in their email inbox (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).

Responding to an assignment summary: For questions or updates about an assignment, students and parents can leave a comment on the assignment in the portal. Their counselor is notified and can see the comment in their own portal. Students and parents can also reply to the summary email from their own email account (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). 
HOT TIP
As a helpful suggestion, counselors can improve their workflow by creating routine assignments and including a direct link to the student portal login page for each assignment. This will enable students to easily access their assignments and provide any necessary input or attachments.
