Frequently Asked Questions:

We've already invited students and parents to create LiveSchool accounts. What happens with Recaps?

You're a step ahead! If students or parents have already created LiveSchool accounts, they'll automatically receive Recaps each week, starting as soon as you enable Recap delivery. We'll even send a special intro email when you turn on delivery to let them know what's coming.

What does Recaps change about LiveSchool's student and parent accounts?

Nothing. Recaps is an awesome addition to our student and parent account system. Students and parents can still log in to their LiveSchool account anytime and check their data. They'll even find a log in link at the bottom of the Recaps.

But we believe Recaps are a better way to engage students and parents in their LiveSchool data! Here's why:

What about Paychecks? Do Recaps replace them?

If you love Paychecks, we think you'll love Recaps more. You'll find that Recaps feature all the same data points as Paychecks. But...

So, yes — we hope you'll stop printing Paychecks and let Recaps do all the hard distribution work. We'll keep Paychecks available in LiveSchool for the rest of the 21/22 school year, but our plan is to replace Paychecks with Recaps by the 22/23 school year.

Can our school pause delivery of Recaps over holiday breaks?

Yes! You can turn Recap delivery on and off anytime. Your LiveSchool admin can go into the  Recaps section and turn them off over long holiday breaks as needed.

Can our teachers review Recaps with students one-on-one?

Yes! Even if you don't enable Recap delivery, every student's Recap can be viewed by your teachers in LiveSchool. Direct teachers to open the Recaps section of LiveSchool. Search for a student by name in the "View a Student's Recap" section, and then click View Recap to view their most recent Recap in a second window. Teachers can use that view for a one-on-one conference with the student or parent.

We're using Clever for student single sign on. How do Recaps work?

If you're using Clever Single Sign On to allow students to access their LiveSchool accounts, we'll send Recap emails to their Clever email address. Make sure students have an email address in Clever to ensure they receive their weekly Recap email. To make changes to your student emails, please make those updates in Clever with the support of your Clever administrator.

Who has access to Recaps?

Recaps is available to all premium LiveSchool subscribers — schools with the full LiveSchool subscription. If your school has a subscription to our Points, Rewards, and Insights tools you'll also have access to Recaps for no additional cost.

How can I get Recaps turned on at my school?

In February, you'll find the Recaps icon automatically added to your school's LiveSchool account. There's nothing to do to get Recaps — once it appears, you just need to decide if you'll turn on Recap delivery.

If you want to share the news about Recaps, share this blog post! Or present an overview to your team with this handy customizable overview deck:

But we believe Recaps are a better way to engage students and parents in their LiveSchool data! Here's why:

  • Recaps are easier to access via the 💫 Magic Link 💫  we send each week — no login needed.
  • Recaps automatically "nudge" students and parents to review a LiveSchool summary each week.
  • Recaps are easier — there's nothing to download, no app to install, no page to bookmark, nothing to log in to.
  • You can even build in real world connections by using recaps to teach financial literacy.

What about Paychecks? Do Recaps replace them?

If you love Paychecks, we think you'll love Recaps more. You'll find that Recaps feature all the same data points as Paychecks. But...

  • They're live: students see their current total balance whenever they view their Recap.
  • They're retrospective: students and parents can look back at previous weeks when they view their Recap.
  • They're sustainable: no printing or paper distribution necessary. Save the trees and save the effort.

So, yes — we hope you'll stop printing Paychecks and let Recaps do all the hard distribution work. We'll keep Paychecks available in LiveSchool for the rest of the 21/22 school year, but our plan is to replace Paychecks with Recaps by the 22/23 school year.
