Teacher can add their own comments, and determine whether they wish to use the progress Gradebook scores, or posted scores for delivery. In addition, they will determine which grades should be considered failing. They will also select which Task(s), Term(s) to include in the message.

Teacher Messenger Missing Assignments The Missing Assignments template works very much like the Failing Grades template. This is preformatted, and looks at assignments that are past due, or flagged as missing in the teacher gradebook. Teachers can select assignments and add comments, if desired. They can review recipients, and preview the notice sent to parents. Missing assignments can also be automated at the school level by setting up the Missing Assignment Scheduler under System Administration > Messenger > Missing Assignment Scheduler
