Hero App Instructions – Parents

Notifications

Parents receive ONE form of notification when a Community Notice is published.

If they log into the Hero mobile app they will receive an in-app notification. If they log into Hero via a web browser they will receive an email notification.

If a parent has logged in on a phone and a tablet, they will get in-app notifications to both devices. If they log out of one device (e.g. their phone) they will continue to receive in-app notifications on the other device (e.g. their tablet). If the parent logs out of both mobile devices they will receive an email notification.

If a parent has logged into the Hero mobile app previously but is currently logged out on all of their devices they will receive an email notification

In all cases, the notification will direct the parent to log into Hero to view the full post.

Hero truncates email notifications to show the first 800 characters of the post within the body of the email notification. By logging into Hero, parents can view the full message, embedded documents, media, or links to download attachments.

Highfield School recommends that you take the time to look at your phone/device settings to see what app notifications are available to you.

Some screen shots from an Android phone are below to give you an idea. All phones/devices will be slightly different.
