Is your school actually emailing you?

New ParentSquare accounts usually default to Digest — one roundup email each evening — rather than Instant. Digest is fine for most posts: the day's messages still arrive with their full text. You mainly want to confirm email notifications aren't switched off entirely.

ClassDojo sends either push notifications or email — not both. If you have the ClassDojo app installed on your phone, you're getting push notifications and no email is being sent, which means nothing reaches SchoolBrief. Their guide explains how email notifications work and when they're sent.

Seesaw family accounts can have email notifications set to All, Once a Day, or Never. If a family member set it up through the app, email is often left off. You want it on All or Once a Day — their guide shows where that setting lives.

Schoology's Parent Email Digest is something you have to actively turn on — a brand-new parent account won't email you anything until you opt in. Their guide covers turning the digest on and confirming your email address is verified to receive it.

As a parent/observer in Canvas, each notification type can be set to Immediate, Daily Summary, Weekly Summary, or Never. The Canvas Parent app can't change email settings — those are managed on the Canvas website. Their observer guide walks through the notification preferences page.
