This article is intended for Teachers, Stewards and Pulse Directors.
The Highlights Summary Email is designed to provide staff members with a Highlights email report containing essential insights into their students' progress
Each staff role in Pulse will receive weekly emails by default with different groups of focus:
- Pulse Directors: Whole-school level
- Stewards: Year/Grade/Cohort level
- Teachers: Teacher’s Class/Group or Specific Group level assigned to them
Staff can manage the way they receive Highlights emails by selecting Update my email preferences at the top of their Pulse dashboard.

The default setting will be Automatic, which will provide them with an email for one of the groups they oversee. They can select Specific groups and select the groups they want to receive the email for, or they can opt out by selecting No highlights email. Each Highlights Summary Email you receive will contain a link to the Highlights Summary Emails settings.
Tip:
The email will look different based on your region. If you are an existing Pulse customer and want to set up Weekly Summary emails, please contact Pulse Support. New customers will automatically start receiving Weekly Summary emails.
Email Breakdown
Each Highlights Summary email will include insights surrounding:
- Wellbeing and Help requests
- Participation
- Experience
You can click on the links to each section of the Pulse dashboards for further information.
Note
If not enough check-ins have been completed to provide staff with meaningful insights in this summary email, they will receive an email indicating this. They can still log in to Pulse and see any check-in information from their students.
Wellbeing Insights
The Wellbeing Insights section focuses on how students respond to the wellbeing question in Student Pulse.
Your report will show the:
- percentage of students who reported a negative or ‘needing help’ response in their last Pulse check-in compared to the previous week
- percentage trends in each class or group's response to the well-being question
- change in the number of requests for help that have been received and the current status of your Help Inbox (Pulse Directors and Stewards only)
