Emailing Report Cards to Parents

We find it quite challenging to email report cards to parents. We send them to both parents; many families have multiple email addresses. Additionally, we need to send separate Hebrew and secular report cards, as each grade has its own version of the report card. For each parent, we send multiple reports for every student. (Besides code 2 parents) As a result, we are sending out thousands of emails.

Unfortunately, some report cards end up in spam folders, and there are instances where they don’t go through at all. We frequently receive feedback from parents stating they received a blank page, did not get the report cards, or missed our emails.

Could JL develop a page on our registration portal or a standalone portal where parents can download their report cards for each child separately in Hebrew and English?

This would help us avoid many of these issues. We could send our regular yeshiva communication email stating that a student's Hebrew or secular report card is available for download.

This may also be useful for PTA appointment letters.

This could benefit other schools as well.

Do you have any additional thoughts on this idea?  Please feel free to comment or vote on this post.

We also struggle with this. How about if there's a way to download every report card and save to student account. Then the entire school can be sent out in 1 mass email via an attachment report.

This would also help for future reference. The way it currently works, to view a report card for a specific student for lets say 2 years ago, we need to check what grade they were in then, and remember which version report card was used for that grade...

Thank you for your suggestion. We are actively developing a web portal (either standalone or embedded within an existing website) that will allow parents to download their children's report cards.

If any schools are interested in this feature, please reach out to me directly.
