Brightspace for Parents

Brightspace for Parents is an add-on communication tool in the Grand Erie Parent Portal that an educator may or may not choose to use. If educators have activated Brightspace parents/guardians will receive a letter from the student’s teacher. Brightspace for Parents allows authorized parents/ guardians to see their child's upcoming assignments, recent grades and current student work samples. This helps parents/guardians engage with students and maintain awareness of their upcoming work.

Navigating Brightspace for Parents

Selecting a Learner

Once parents/guardians are in Brightspace select the student whose information you would like to access.

Each student's tile displays their name, a summary of overdue and upcoming work, and a recently released grade item count.

If parents/guardians are only assigned to a single student, logging in to Brightspace takes the parents/guardians directly to the Student Dashboard, which displays more detailed information. If a parent/guardians is associated with more than one student, multiple tiles display when logging in to the Brightspace for Parents account.

Viewing Learner Information

 


 

  1. The Overdue Items box is for homework items that have recently passed their due date. Students may have completed these and brought them in on paper, so it does not necessarily mean they are behind.
  2. The Upcoming Work box has the next week’s deadlines. This is the work that will be due this week. Clicking on the items allows users to read the instructions and download any attachments.
  3. The Recent Grades box gives a feed of the assessments and work that has been marked and recorded by teachers. This is current performance and, as such, may fluctuate. The Predicted Grades on the data reports will flag up any longer-term trends in the progress your child is making. The predicted grades will also be published on Brightspace when the reports are released. Older grades can be viewed by clicking view all grades.
  4. The Portfolio is a way to share a student’s work with parents/guardians along with comments made by the teacher.
  5. The Activity Feed will show parents/guardians recent messages from the educator to parents/guardians and students.

 

To Receive a Weekly Activity Summary

Parents/Guardians can choose to receive a weekly summary of their child's activity in Brightspace. Each Saturday, an activity summary is emailed to parents/guardians that contains notifications and reminders. For example, an activity summary may contain reminders when assignments are due. Note: Parents receive one email per child.

  1. In Brightspace for Parents, click the user profile located in the upper right-hand corner and select Notifications.
  2. Under Contact Methods, enter your custom email address, if not already done. A confirmation email is sent to the custom email address, prompting you to confirm the email address.
  3. Under Weekly Overview for my Children, select the Yes, email me a summary checkbox.
  4. Click Save.
