Grading Window Notifications allow administrators to send a message to teachers indicating they have not posted scores for the Grading Window. These messages can be sent to primary teachers and teachers assigned to a course section, as indicated on the Staff History tool, and can include the Missing Grades/Scores Report that is available when generating the Grades Report.
Grading Window Notifications
Supervisors of the primary teachers/teachers can also receive a message indicating their staff has not posted scores for the Grading Window. Supervisors are determined by the Supervisor checkbox being marked on the District Assignment editor, then those supervisors are listed on the staff person's District Assignment.

Enable Notifications
Notifications are created per calendar, per year; they do not roll forward.
Notifications are sent for Grading Windows that have been recently closed, and are not sent for Grading Window Exceptions.
Once a notification is enabled, a scheduled quartz job runs on the database continually to check if a Grading Window has closed. That job finds teachers who have not posted grades for the terms and grading tasks/standards included in that closed Grading Window.
Notifications display in the Notification bell.
