Send email notifications

In District Classroom Library Manager, teachers are associated with a primary grade. When audience levels are set for titles, any teacher assigned to a grade outside the approved level can receive an email notification.

For example, if a title is approved for Grade 4+, then any teacher below Grade 4 can receive a notification that the title must be removed. District-level administrators send these notifications.

Notes:

  • For more information, watch this video.
  • The Email Notifications setting is turned off by default.
  • Enabling this functionality will not send emails retroactively for titles outside their set audience level.

  • Notifications are sent to the email address listed in Destiny Back Office.
  • Teachers will receive a single email at the end of the day notifying them of any titles outside their set audience level.
  • Teachers will also see a notification Notification icon. in the Destiny header when there is a change in a title's status (such as from Pending to Not Approved).
