Parent Notification
simpldiscipline can notify parents/guardians via email after an incident has been approved to support school administrators communicating with families.
Sending a notification
After an incident has been approved, all offenders and their generated parent notification letters are listed on the approval page.
To send a notification to a parent, click the Notify parent/guardian button to begin the process.
Tip: You can generate additional letters and add those to one single notification. To see how to generate additional letters, click here to view our letter article.
Selecting parent/guardians
A list of the offender's parent/guardians is automatically displayed and all guardians are automatically selected. You can select which specific recipients should receive this notification.
If a parent/guardian does not have an email listed, you can manually specify additional recipient(s). Each notification needs at least one parent/guardian contact or additional recipient selected.
Selecting notification letters
A list of the offender's parent notification letters are displayed. You can select as many letters as you would like to be included in the notification.
You can click each letter to view its contents in a new tab.
Additional recipients
In addition to parent/guardian contacts, you can also search for a staff member's name, or manually enter an email address.
To search for a staff member, begin typing in a staff member's name, and click the staff member in the results to add their email address to the notification.
Note: Any additional recipients will show in the "CC" line of the email, which is visible to all recipients.
To manually enter an email address, begin typing the email. When you are done, click the result in the list to add it.
Send yourself a copy
You can also automatically send yourself a copy of this notification sent to the parent. If this is selected, you will be added to the "BCC" line of the email, which is not visible to any recipients.
Message subject and body
A default subject and message body are provided for convenience. You can customize this subject and message before sending the notification. Whatever is typed here will be communicated directly to all recipients of the notification.
