As a member of Schoology, you can elect to receive email notifications from the groups, schools, and different people within your network. As the volume of notifications can be overwhelming at times, we suggest adjusting these settings to suit your desired level. You can find out how to adjust your settings by reading How to Configure Message Notification Settings in Schoology.
Suggested Settings
Academic
At YISS, parents are not members of courses. Therefore the academic notification settings are not applicable to parents.
Groups
It is suggested that you turn on your email notifications for group updates. This way you will be notified of content being posted as an update to groups you are part of. Other email notifications can be turned off.
School
It is suggested that you turn on email notifications for School Updates, but turn off notifications for Update Comments. This will indicate when a school wide update has been posted.
Personal
It is suggested that you turn on email notifications for Receive a Private Message, but all other notifications can be turned off. Because we are encouraging teachers to communicate important information through messages, this will trigger an email notification when a message is sent to you through Schoology.
