Let's look at how we can send notifications out to our district in Skyward.
Notifications are found in the Admin Message Center.
There are two types of notifications:
Manual, which occur once
Scheduled, which are recurring
We can send notifications about anything from student enrollments and withdrawals to address changes or food service balances.
If we select a notification, we can see all past instances when that notification was sent in the bottom slider panel.
To create a notification, we'll select Add, then identify which module the notification should trigger from.
On the next screen, we'll choose the recipients of the notification and the layout we want to use.
In this enrollment example, we'd like our guidance counselor, secretary, and principal to be notified as soon as a student enrolls as a 12th grader.
We can add additional details in the content area.
Then click Save.
Now, with this example, whenever a 12th grader is added to the system, we'll see a message appear in the bottom slider panel.
With some notifications, like low food service balances, we can select how frequently we want the message to go out, as well as the balance threshold that will trigger the notification.
