With SchoolStatus Connect, students can also be a participant in district, school and classroom communications.
Students can receive Announcements to their student email address without any additional setup, so long as their student email address is added to SchoolStatus Connect.
Note: If you are not able to include students as part of the Announcement, your school may have that setting disabled for teachers.
Or, students can be enabled as “student users” and have the added ability to:
- Sign in to their own SchoolStatus Connect account
- Initiate or reply to two-way Conversations with teachers
- View Announcements in-app
- Receive push notifications for Announcements and Conversations
- Receive notifications and reply via SMS (if student SMS numbers are provided from your SIS)
Enabling “student users” is a two-step process. To enable “student users,” follow the instructions outlined in this article.
Once student users are enabled, they will be able to download the app and/or sign in to SchoolStatus Connect just like any other user.
Student Notification Preferences
- The default notification preference for student users is email, or email + app if the student has downloaded the SchoolStatus Connect app.
- Students whose SMS number is also added from the SIS may update their notification preference to SMS.
Student Announcements
- Students can receive Announcement notifications, and in some cases reply, via push notification, email, or possibly SMS.
- Students can view the Home Feed of their Announcements.
Student Conversations (Messaging)
- Students can receive notifications and reply to two-way Conversations in-app, via email, or possibly SMS.
- Students can initiate a Conversation with one of their teachers.
