Manage notifications

Find updates and choose the notification options available to you.

Checked against Meadow on 2026-10-12

Open the notification bell to review activity addressed to you. It can bring together notices from more than one setting you belong to.

Open a notice to go to the relevant message, post or other item. Reading a notification is separate from reading the message thread itself, so use Messages when you want to check the full exchange.

Choose notification preferences

Open the notification bell, then choose the settings icon for Notification preferences. Review the options shown for that setting. Device or browser notification permission is separate: if you use device notifications, check those settings too.

Some delivery preferences are saved for options that are not available yet. Read the availability note on the screen; a saved preference alone does not mean that email delivery is active. Check Newsfeed directly for posts.

If an update seems missing

Check the setting, your child’s contact link and the item’s audience. For email, check spam or junk and that the setting has the correct address. For device notifications, check the device’s permission settings.

Notifications draw attention to activity; they do not replace the setting’s urgent-contact arrangements. Use the usual direct contact method for an urgent matter.
