The student’s activity feed is where student contacts with Parent and Family permissions can be kept up-to-date on all the activities a student is doing throughout the day that the school has logged. This may include pictures, videos, check-in/out records, and any number of learning activities. Additionally, a daily report email is available for Parent contacts to receive showing all daily activities recorded. Parents can receive these Daily Reports by opting in within their account settings.
