- A summary of marked attendance (late, absent, excused).

- Overdue items marked as Excused or Missing are not included in Overdue Submissions.:
- Recent activity, including:
- The student's posts and updates in courses, assignments, tests/quizzes, and discussions.
- Recent submissions for assignments and tests/quizzes.
The digest includes up to five Summary items and up to ten Recent Activity items. To view more items than appears in the list, click the More option at the bottom of each area. If you have more than one child association, scroll down to can view the Summary and Recent Activity for additional children.
You will receive one Overdue Notifications email for each time that your child fails to submit an item on time. You receive only one notification per late material regardless of how long it remains unsubmitted.
