We have a parent that is not receiving the daily email communications with their child's grades.  She stated she would get them last year and I tried trouble shooting with the notification toggle switch and cannot recreate what she is saying.

Are their different settings in an Android compared to an Apple?

Thank you,

Is there a way to prevent parents from receiving the push notifications? We do not want push notifications sent out over the summer while we are still modifying students schedules.

I second this! I really wish we could turn off the "Your Parent account information has changed" while we clean up Contacts.

Its a real pain to field these worried calls as we clean up the backend.

@ColeT Unless it's bee updated recently, thats an all or nothing switch. I'm looking for individual  Parent Push control so I can turn off the "Your Parent account information has changed" but leave Attendance and Grades notifications on.

I was just posting for posterity because this article is the only one about push notifications and anyone searching will be lost and need that info I posted.
