CAUTION: When you set the criteria for automatic emails, the system currently includes students currently enrolled in courses and students who have been dropped from courses. This means that both active and dropped students will receive the automatic email. This can be very confusing to students who have been dropped from any courses.

Use care when setting your criteria and who you are copying on these types of emails.

After logging into eAcademy™ Genius, click Enrollments from the top menu bar.

Search criteria: Select the 2024/2025 Term so that you do not get results from previous school years.

Additional search criteria: Select additional criteria for your automatic email.

Here are some examples.

a) Use Grade between to be notified when students’ grades fall between a certain percentage like 0 and 70.

b) Use Pacing to be notified when students are behind in assignments.

c) Use Logins to be notified when students are not logging in on a regular basis.

BEST PRACTICE: Only set one or two conditions. If you set too many conditions, you may get zero results.

Click Get Data after selecting your criteria.

From the left navigation menu, click Add new Auto-Email.

Template: If desired, choose a template and make any edits. Otherwise, you can skip this selection and create your own email.
