School Profile Features > Setting Up Reward & Conduct Options

Use the Rewards & Conduct Options screen in the Features tab to allow parents to view their children's reward and conduct records in the Parent Portal.

This is useful if you wish to automatically inform parents when their children have been given an award or sanction at your school.
