Email reports

About emailing reports

Use the Email Scheduler in the Reports page header to automatically email reports to parents, staff, and others, on a one-time, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The reports are included as attachments to the email, in PDF format. PDF documents are usually opened by the operating system's default PDF application. If you are not able to open a report, you may need to install Adobe® Reader®, which is available as a free download from Adobe's Web site.

• To set up emails, attach reports to the emails, and schedule the emails for delivery, see Create a new email and schedule delivery.
• To view, edit, and delete the emails you've scheduled, see Manage your scheduled emails.
• To unsubscribe to the emails, see Unsubscribe from email.

When are the emails sent?

mySciLEARN uses the following schedules for sending emails. For more information on scheduling see the task Create a new email and schedule delivery.

• One Time. The reports will be emailed immediately.
• Daily. The reports will be emailed every day.
• Weekly. The reports will be emailed at the end of every week.
• Every 4 Weeks. The reports will be sent at the end of the fourth week on a set four-week schedule (starting from July 27, 2013). Every four weeks, the system will send the next round of emails. Based on today's date (as read from your local computer), you can expect the next round of emails to be sent on or around:

Open the Email Scheduler

Follow these steps to access the Email Scheduler.

1. In the mySciLEARN Manage section, click the Reports tab to open the Reports page.
2. From the Email Scheduler menu in the top right of the page, chose the email option you'd like to use:
• New Email. Choose this option to create a new email and schedule delivery.
• Scheduled Emails. Choose this option to manage your scheduled emails (view, edit, or delete the emails).

Create a new email and schedule delivery

Use the New Email screen to create and schedule new emails for delivery. The following task provides step by step instructions, along with everything else you'll need to know about new emails, such as scheduling options and report availability.

1. From the Email Scheduler menu in the top right corner of the Reports page, click New Email.
2. On the New Email screen, enter the following information to set up your new email.
• To. Enter the email address of the recipient, in the following format only: name@domain. For example, [email protected]. To send the email to yourself, leave this field blank. To send the email to multiple recipients, separate each email address with a comma or semicolon.
• Subject (optional). Enter a subject line for the email. For example, Fast ForWord Weekly Status. To use a generic subject line, leave this field blank.
• Include Message (optional). Add any comments that you would like to add to the email body. For example, you may want to add a few lines about a school, group, or student, or highlight a particular area of interest within a report.
• Schedule. Use this menu to select how often you would like to send the report. When you schedule a recurring email, that email appears on the Scheduled Emails page (One Time emails do not appear there).

The system uses calendar weeks—Sunday through Saturday—when emailing reports. To keep you informed, reports with no data are still emailed and noted as such.

• One Time. The reports will be emailed immediately. Use the menu to select a date range for the student activity in the emailed reports.
• Last 4 Weeks. The reports will include student data from the current calendar week and the previous three calendar weeks.
• This Week. The reports will include student data from the current calendar week.
• Last Week. The reports will include student data from the previous calendar week.
• Custom. The reports will include student data from the weeks in that custom date range.
• Daily. The reports will be emailed every day, and will include student data from the current calendar week.
• Weekly. The reports will be emailed at the end of every week, and will include student data from the calendar week that just ended.
• Every 4 Weeks. The reports will be sent at the end of the fourth week on a set four-week schedule, and will include student data from those four weeks—that is, the calendar week that just ended and the previous three calendar weeks.



When are Every 4 Weeks emails sent?

The Every 4 Weeks schedule uses a permanent four week schedule (starting from July 27, 2013). Every four weeks, the system sends the next round of emails. Based on today's date (as read from your local computer), you can expect the next round of emails to be sent on or around:

Because of this standardized four-week schedule, the first email may be sent earlier than four weeks.

Reading Progress Indicator reports tip

To email the Reading Progress Indicator All report (which includes Manual RPI tests), choose a custom date range that includes the assessment results you’d like to email, then choose One Time from the Schedule menu. You cannot send a recurring email with this report.

You can add reports for as many of your schools, groups, and students as you like. When you've finished adding reports for a report level, you can repeat these steps to add reports from another level. If you add a report by mistake, click the Remove Report link next to that report. You can also click the Remove All button at the top left to remove all of the added reports. When you are finished adding reports, click Close.

Manage your scheduled emails

• You can only access and manage emails that you have scheduled for delivery. Any other emails that exist in your school or district are only accessible to the staff member who created them.

• For student level reports, the student’s name appears in the schedule to help you quickly identify the subject of the report.
• Use the Search field to filter the list by anything on the Scheduled Emails screen (for example, in the following list you could search for “jdoe” or “Weekly”). This field is not case sensitive.

Use the Scheduled Emails screen to view a list of the emails you've scheduled, and then view the details within each of those emails. If you don't have any scheduled emails, you'll be prompted to create a new email when you access the screen.

Unsubscribe from email

mySciLEARN provides an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the Reports report emails that allows the recipient to permanently opt out of all emails from that district, or to selectively opt out of specific scheduled emails from that district. Upon receiving an unsubscribe request, mySciLEARN complies with that request as follows:

• When opting out of all emails from the district:
  • mySciLEARN unsubscribes the recipient from all scheduled emails from the district
  • mySciLEARN permanently blocks the recipient from receiving any new Reports report emails from the district
• When opting out of specific emails from the district:
  • mySciLEARN unsubscribes the recipient from those emails (other recipients, if any, will continue to receive those emails)
  • mySciLEARN continues to send all of the recipient's other scheduled Reports report emails from the district
  • mySciLEARN allows district staff members to send new Reports report emails to that recipient
