Counselors have the option to share assignment summaries with their students and/or parents. They can either send automated assignment summaries or use the email button to send live assignments via email.

However, please note that the email sent for assignments is a "do not reply" email, which means that students and parents are unable to respond directly to the email regarding their assignments.

If parent reply to assignment summary - DO NOT REPLY
Counselors should kindly remind parents & students that the "do not reply" email for assignments should not be responded to directly. Instead, students and parents have the option to forward the email if they need it to be attached or they can provide comments on their assignments in the portal to assist the counselor. This will greatly help maintain the counselor's efficiency and organization.
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.
