• In your email program, open your email invitation.

• Click Accept.

When you accept an invitation, you and your student get an email confirmation.

In email summaries, you can review:

• Missing work—Work not turned in when the summary was sent.

• Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).

• Class activities—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers.

If there’s no activity to report or if a teacher turns off email notifications, you might not get an email summary.
