Emails to students and parents

Add an adult student’s or a parent’s email with their permission to send new assignments, reminders, feedback alerts and progress reports.

By default LearnWorkly only knows each student’s name. If you want emails to go out, you can add an email address for an adult student, for the parent of a child, or both. This is optional and you only add addresses you have permission to use.

Add an email address

  1. 1

    Open the student page

    On the class page, click the student’s name in the Students list.

  2. 2

    Fill in Contacts

    In Contacts, type the Student email (for adult learners) and/or the Parent email (for children).

  3. 3

    Confirm permission

    Tick I have permission to email these addresses (for a child, from a parent or guardian). The addresses cannot be saved without it.

  4. 4

    Save

    Click Save contacts. You see Saved when it is done.

Turning emails off for an assignment

When you assign an activity, open Options and switch off Email students. No assignment, feedback or reminder emails go out for that assignment. It is on by default.

Emails are written in the class’s language: see Choose the language of a class.

One-click unsubscribe

Every email ends with a link to stop these emails. The person opens it and clicks Unsubscribe: no login needed. After that, that address gets no more emails about this student, and the student page shows Unsubscribed next to it.

If you replace an address with a new one, the new address can receive emails again.

Frequently asked questions

Why did a student not get the new assignment email?

Check that the student has a Student email saved and is not marked Unsubscribed, that Email students was on, and that the assignment is self-paced. One by one and Practice assignments do not send this email.

How do I remove an address?

Clear the field in Contacts and click Save contacts. When both fields are empty, the permission you confirmed is cleared too.

Is the email address included when a student is removed?

Yes. Their contact details are removed with them and no more emails are sent to those addresses.
