Setting Default Grade Alerts before the school year begins allows Gradelink Administrators to ensure that parents receive academic alerts for their students even if they never set up their own custom Parent Alerts.

Important: Default Grade Alerts are only applied at the time students get populated into classes. For most schools It's best to enable this setting during the summer before the first term (Quarter, Trimester, etc) classes are populated, otherwise the setting won't have any effect until the following school year. Note that parents can always override any default alert settings your school has set. |
1. As an Administrator, go to the Classes tab.
2. Click on the gear-shaped icon next to the Grade Scales menu.

3. Default Grade Alerts are specific to individual grade scales, so select a grade scale from the list on the right.
4. To set up alerts:
- First, enable the alert by marking the box on the left.
- Then, assign the minimum grade that will trigger the alert.
5. Click Submit Changes.
