Elementary teachers need an efficient way to notify parents when students receive low grades (below C) on assignments, to prevent parent complaints and report card surprises.

Workarounds Described

• Teacher manually checks gradebook and emails parents when low grades occur (implied), or relies on parents to check grade portal regularly

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated low-grade notification system that integrates with online gradebooks and sends instant alerts to parents

GradeGuard Alerts

GradeGuard Alerts is a notification system that integrates with existing online gradebooks. It automatically sends customizable emails or texts to parents whenever a student receives a grade below a teacher-defined threshold (e.g., C- or 70%). Teachers set rules once and parents get real-time alerts, eliminating surprises and reducing parent complaints.
