Emerging, Concerning, and Urgent are the three urgency levels you'll see in the Concerning Emotions Report. Each level is based on the pattern of a student's recent check-ins, and the report helps you notice students who may benefit from a caring check-in. Levels automatically clear over time, so no manual dismissal is required.
Who is this for?
Teachers see the levels for their own students.
School administrators, counselors, and wellbeing leads see the levels for the whole school.
Who is this NOT for?
Students never see their level nor do they see the report.
How are check-ins sorted?
Student check-in responses fall into three categories:
Not a concern
Down mood
High-concern (also count as down mood)
A student's level comes from the pattern of their check-ins over time, not from a single check-in on its own.
Urgency Levels and Notifications:
Urgency Level | Level Criteria | Where you'll see it |
Emerging | 3 consecutive “down mood” check-ins | Weekly recap email and report |
Concerning | 1 "high-concern" check-in | Same-day email (Grades 6–12 only), weekly recap, and report |
Urgent | 2 or more "high-concern" check-ins | Notification bell icon, weekly recap, and report |
Note: If multiple levels apply, the report shows the highest level.
How do urgency levels clear?
Once a level clears, the student is removed from weekly summary emails.
Emerging: Clears on the student's next check-in that is not a down mood.
Concerning and Urgent: Clear automatically after four weeks without a high-concern check-in.
Note for PK–5 students:
For PK–5 students, no check-in feelings are categorized as high-concern due to age-related reliability. This means PK–5 teachers never receive same-day emails. Flagged PK–5 students appear only in the weekly recaps and reports.
