Assignment Summary Email or Progress Summary Email
The Assignment Summary Email or Progress Summary Email is a list of currently active assignments. The email of Active Assignments can be sent out automatically at an interval the counselor chooses.
This email can also be sent manually by clicking on the email button in the assignments tab or by turning on auto-send.
Auto-send will deliver the Assignment Summary Email or Progress Summary Email, at an interval the counselor determines.
Sending Assignment Summary Manually
Make sure you have assignments that are set to show
Click "Email Assignments Summary for" then select who to send it to
Scheduling Assignment Summaries
Make sure you have assignments that are set to show
Click the Menu button then the Auto Send Summary option.
A box will pop up titled Schedule Auto Send Summary.
- Under Student / Parent, choose an Interval: Week, Second week, Month, or Quarter (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct).
- Choose a Start date to indicate 'when to start auto-sending'.
- Click the On box to confirm activation.
- Optional: under Counselor, check "Email Counselor weekly Summary, when this student is Active and Assignments Due" to get your own weekly summary for that student.
- Click Save.
To pause auto send for a student, reopen the window, uncheck On, and click Save.
Note:
- Auto send is set separately for each student. There is no daily option, and you can't yet apply one setting to a whole graduation class.
- Each summary lists the assignments that are active when it sends. An assignment becomes active on its start date.
- An assignment with a future start date won't appear in a summary until that date arrives.
- Students and parents can reply to the summary email from their own email account (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).
- To leave out assignment descriptions and send only names and due dates, go to Settings > Email Preferences and check "When sending Assignment Summary Emails, omit Assignment 'description': send only the Assignment Name." This is set per counselor.
Choose which assignments are sent
Turn off the green graduation cap on any assignment you don't want to send, then send the summary. Turn the cap back on afterward.
Is there any way I can only send reminders for the specific month assignments to all students?
- If you want everyone to be reminded of something in a particular month (ex. December), use the scheduled Broadcast feature. You can add your unique portal link to that Broadcast.
- Example: "Remember to do your assignments in December <link to student portal>"

Assignment Summary emails are often referred to as Progress Summaries or Active Assignment emails.
Counselors choose which Assignments are Active based on Start date.
Active assignments are visible in the progress summary emails. Summary emails can be sent to Student and Parent email addresses.
If the Counselor does not want one parent copied, the Counselor can choose to "not copy" a parent contact on any communications. Navigate to Student Information section (AKA Bio Banners > Contact banner to turn off communications with a specific contact)
