The document summarizes a notification and tracking solution called NOTE-e-FI that was developed by CaseNex Datacation. The solution allows teachers to easily notify and track student academic performance, attendance, and other data to share with parents, students, and administrators. Teachers can send messages in multiple languages and filter recipients by various performance and attendance criteria. The solution integrates with student information systems to access relevant student data and communication is logged for transparency.

2. The Problem:
Teachers need to easily notify and track academic performance, achievement
data, attendance and anecdotals to parents and students while making their efforts
transparent to administrators and staff. This will enable staff collaboration through this
open communication.
• Send messages with automatic
translation
• Filter by performance/attendance
data
• Filter by groups and flags
• Log of messages
• Receive real time performance • Track outreach to parents and
data student actions
• Open teacher communication • Transparent communication
• Receive real time performance
• Staff collaboration
data

3. The NOTE-e-FI Solution
Our Solution:
Recipients can be defined by individual student, parent and school
staff, classes and student groups. Classes and student groups can then
be filtered manually or by teacher defined rules (i.e. Students who did
not attend school today).
Message text can be translated into other languages based on student
home language.
Message types will be stored as logs so the teacher can review parent
and student outreach records when needed.
Solution fits into the teachers regular work flow:
Grading and attendance are part of a teacher’s daily responsibilities as is
communicating with parents and students. This application gives teachers
back the time they would have spent searching for contact
information, student data and copying and pasting separate emails to
parents and students.

4. Leveraging SLC
How SLC was used to bring the solution together:
Read lists of classes and teachers
Read class lists of students
Read home language and student flags
Read student performance and attendance data
Write back discipline action in response to a tardy discipline incident. DisciplineAction
will be written after the message is sent. All students filtered by a DisciplineIncident
will be included in a DisciplineAction written to the SLC.
