Configure the Notification Settings for MyChildAtSchool

In this KB we’ll guide you through the notification settings for MyChildAtSchool (MCAS)

Navigating to the Notification Settings Area

The Notification Settings area can be located under Config>MyChildAtSchool>Notification Settings

Exploring the Notification Settings

As you enter the Notification Settings area the first option you’ll see is the setting to give parents/guardians access to contact the school through MCAS. Alongside this permission you’ll also see the option to send email notifications to a separate school email address when a message is received via MCAS.

Next you’ll see the settings for attaching messages to the communication log of the Student(s) linked to the MCAS user who sent the message. These settings will also allow outbound messages sent by the school to the parent/guardian to be linked to the communication log.

The final option within the Notifications Settings area is the option to enable a notification email to be send to a school email account when data collection changes have been submitted.
