Choose which notifications you get

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 5 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to choose which notifications you get

  1. 1Click More in the portal's top bar, then Settings
  2. 2In the "Push notifications" card, each device is off until you turn it on: the row reads "Off on this device" with "Turn on notifications" beside it, and your browser asks permission
  3. 3Once the device is on, the same row offers "Send a test" and "Turn off"
  4. 4Under "What should buzz your phone?", untick any category you do not want — the choices apply to all your devices
  5. 5In the Email card, tick or untick "Email me about school activity"

Part of Messages & announcements

One compose reaches every family's portal inbox — plus teacher-to-family threads and an oversight search so leadership can stand behind every message.
