• Bad Behavior:  There are many pre-made messages covering instances of bad behavior, such as chewing gum in class, falling asleep, or disrupting others.
• Good Behavior:  Messages concerning good behavior, such as having a great attitude, staying focused, and working efficiently, are also included.
• Academic Challenges:  Let parents know if their student’s academic performance needs to improve, if the student missed a homework assignment, ask a parent to schedule a conference, and more.
• Academic Successes:  Messages to let parents know their student did a good job in class, got a great score on a test, that their grade is improving, and more.
• Facilitate Organization:  Let parents know when a student has been assigned a homework assignment, has an upcoming test, should be receiving a report card, and more.
