Custom Notifications

You can send a custom notification to students whenever you’d like. Instructions for that can be found in How to Send a Custom Notification to Students

Students can send you custom notifications whenever they’d like. The process for students is the same as the one for teachers, please see How to Send a Notification to Your Teacher <Coming soon!>

Portal Notifications

The TBH portal will send you a few different types of notifications:

• When a student has submitted an assignment, the TBH portal will send the notification “[Student Name] has submitted [Assignment Name] for grading.” The notification will include a hyperlink to the individual student’s grading page, just in case you want to jump to that page right away.
• When an assignment’s start date has passed, the TBH portal will send the notification “[assignment name] is now available to students.” The notification will include a hyperlink to the Assignment Preview.
• When an assignment due date has passed, the TBH portal will send the notification “[Assignment name] is now due.” The notification will include a hyperlink to the Grading Breakdown page for that assignment.
• When students send you a message about a specific item in an assignment, the TBH portal will send the notification “[Student] has sent a message to you about the item [item title] of the assignment [assignment name]."

The TBH portal will send the students automatic notifications, too. Examples include:

• "[Teacher name] has assigned "[assignment name] to you"
• "[Assignment name] has been graded"
• "[Assignment name] is now available to students"
• “[Assignment name] is now due"
• "[Assignment name] is due at [end date]"
• "Your teacher [teacher name] has asked you to re-attempt assignment [assignment name]"
• "[Teacher] has sent a message to you about the item [item title] of the assignment [assignment name]"

Communicating Grades to Students

In the TBH portal, you communicate grades to students by releasing the grades.

PLEASE NOTE: releasing grades to students generates a portal notification to the students. No need to write custom notifications to each student! 

PLEASE NOTE: Students can also see from the Student Assignment Dashboard that the TBH portal has moved the assignment from the Submitted section of the Student Assignment Dashboard to the Graded section.
