New Notification Center 

The Notification Center provides educators with real-time updates when students complete activities, allowing for easier monitoring of student progress on goals and challenges in the Student Portal. This feature is available to users with the Educator role in the DESSA System who are assigned students using the DESSA Student Self-Report assessments.  New notifications will appear at the top right side of the main navigation menu as a blue dot over the “bell” icon. Educators will receive notifications when a student:

• Creates or completes a goal or challenge
• Writes an update to a goal or challenge
• Uploads an attachment to a goal or challenge

Improved Filtering on Assignment Review Page

This feature makes it easier for users in the DESSA System with the Program Administrator role to filter the Assignment Review Page (Admin > Assignment Review) by student grade level, making it easier to solve issues related to students' assignments to educators.
