Merit created social media posts for you to share with both students and parents. There are multiple social media, images and text to post throughout the academic year. Everything from educating your audiences on what Merit is to reminding people to sign up prior to your honors achievements are published. We recommend sharing these posts periodically in your Facebook Groups, specifically Groups that your students and/or their families are a part of so that the form and sign ups are within a closed network of individuals.

FAQ's
What do you do with the email addresses once collected?
Once the email address is collected, Merit verifies it is an active email address. Once verified, Merit uploads all the information provided information, matching the new parent email to the correct student.
How do you match the correct email to the correct student?
Merit matches the student email address provided to the student email addresses in Merit. Once we identify a match, we attach the parent email to that students account. If we do not find a match we void the request.
How do students monitor who their achievements are sent to?
The way students monitor the email addresses who receive achievement notifications remains the same. Students log into their Merit account; from here they can view all account information as well as see who receives achievement notifications and add or delete email addresses. Learn more here.
Can anyone sign up or is this only for parents?
This is a great opportunity for parents, friends, family, mentors, coaches and others who wish to be notified of the achievements your school is publishing about its students to sign up for notifications.
Does this tool replace the current workflow for uploading parent emails via a spreadsheet?
No, If you currently have access to parent email addresses please continue to upload them into Merit as you currently do. In addition to uploading parent email addresses into Merit you can market the Stakeholder Email Collector and Merit will add these emails to your distribution resulting in an even email larger parent email list.
We do not import students until the beginning of each semester. Will, we still be able to match collected parent email addresses to students?
Every parent email address and associated student email address import continuously searches for matches over a 6 month period. So regardless of when you import your students each semester your parent email addresses will be matched accordingly, allowing you to continue publishing according to your editorial calendar.
