The text and email are sent everyday automatically by the application itself.  The actual time during the day when the message is sent is selected by the school administration.  The times range from 4:30 p.m EST to 10:00p.m EST. 

You must have your information entered and saved at least 10 minutes before the time your school selected to have the messages automatically sent out.

Messages (texts and emails) get sent out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday.  The message sent on Sunday contains the homework/assessment/other information from Friday.  As an example, the message texted and emailed to parents on Monday contains all of the student’s homework for Monday night. 

As a teacher, the only thing you need to do is enter your homework information into the application each day.  It takes about a minute or less.  Just enter the information, click “save day” in the application and you are done.

If you know in advance what the homework will be for the following week, month etc. you can enter it into ParentEdge.  You can plan as far in advance as you want.  Simply select the correct week from the calendar and enter whatever you want. 

You can update the homework/information to be sent home easily by logging in, changing it, and clicking “Save day”.  As long as it is done at least 10 minutes before the time selected by your school to have the messages sent out the changes will be saved and the new information included in the message. 

You are able to select the week you would like to enter information.  Then simply find the entry box for the day and enter the homework or other information you want the parent/student to receive.

Click on the change my password option on the left side of the application and follow the instructions.

A character is basically any key you hit on your keyboard: a letter, number, space, or punctuation.

After clicking “submit day” you will see a message appear under the button that says “day saved”.

No, all a teacher has to do is quickly enter their information and click submit.  There is nothing else you need to do.

It contains the information entered by the elementary teacher for that day.  It will say if there is a test or quiz based on what is selected.  It then includes whatever information the teacher entered into the 135 character box.  The information entered can be related to homework, study tips, projects, reminders, notifications, field trip information or anything else the teacher thinks the parents/student should know. 

This is an example of what the text message will actually look like:

Quiz
Presentations are tomorrow. Do page 3 in your phonics workbook for HW.   Remember the field trip is on Friday, permission slip is due.

The email will contain the same information as the text message. 

You can enter any information you would like.  It can be homework information, an announcement, notification, reminder, study tips, or anything you want the parent/student to know.

No, 135 characters is the maximum.

For your class, each day, you have the option of indicating if there is an assessment to study for.  If you would classify it as a test please check the “test” button.  If you would classify it as a minor assessment like a quiz please check the “quiz” button.  If there is not a test or a quiz then click the “none” button.  You have the option of including more information about the assessment in the 135 character text box.

It contains information for every class a student has during the day compressed into one text message.  For each class the message will indicate what period of the day it is (1,2,3,etc…).  It will inform the parent/student if there is a test or quiz to study for and it will contain up to 15 characters (letters) entered by the teacher about the homework or other information for class that day. 

Example of what the text would look like for a school with a five period school day:
1
Test
Study Guide Due
2
Worksheet
3
Quiz
HWpg.158 p34-78
4
Bio Lab Report
5

The email contains the same information with two differences.  First, instead of the period number the actual course name is displayed.  Second, after the test/quiz and homework information sections there is a third section for each course that displays any extra information entered by the teacher in ParentEdge.

You can enter any information you would like.  It can be homework information, an announcement, or anything you want the parent/student to know.

No, the limit for each course is 15 characters.

For each course, each day you have the option of indicating that there is an assessment to study for.  If you would classify it as a test please check the “test” button.  If you would classify it as a minor assessment like a quiz please check the “quiz” button.  If there is no test or quiz that day,  click the “none” button.

They are simply there to save you time when entering information into ParentEdge.  If one of the options conveys the information you would like to send home simply select it and click save.  It will be included in the 15 character portion of the message for that course.
