How to Setup & Configure Weekly Progress Emails

Aeries has a feature where parents or students can subscribe to weekly progress emails from within the Aeries Parent/Student Portal. These emails contain up to date attendance and gradebook information. The information contained in this email is the same information that is available through the parent portal.

An option labeled Parent Notification Preferences will also display in the drop-down menu when parents click on their username in the upper right-hand corner. This allows parents to sign up for weekly progress report emails for a preferred day and time and adjust the notification preferences at any time.

You will receive weekly progress emails with attendance, current grades, and gradebook activity. You can change delivery day and time as often as you like.
