1. Rename Referrals

This section will give you the option to rename major and/or minor referrals to something of your choice.

• Type in the name field to change the name. There is a maximum of 16 characters. The customized name will appear in some areas of the BRS.

2. Referrals Types:

Select which types of referrals your staff will be able to create.

• Minor Referrals Only
• Major Referrals Only
• Both Minor and Major Referrals will be selected as the default

3. Referral Admin Notifications:

Select “Enable Referral Admin Notifications” and enter the number of repeated minor referrals at which you want to be notified. The referral system will send an email for students in your assigned grades when they reach the number recorded here. (Determine grade levels for which you are a Referral Admin on the Staff Screen.)

4. Auto Archive Minor Referrals:

Auto Archive Minor Referrals will archive all current minor referrals for all students. It will clear the queue of minor referrals in the referral screen.

• The minor referrals that have been archived are still available for viewing in the Minor Referrals report and the Referral Dashboard, but it will reset all students’ current minor referrals back to zero.
• This can be set to archive automatically at the end of the grading period, or manually select to archive using “Before a Specific Date.” This will archive all the minors on and before that specified date.

5. Show Minor Referrals To:

Use this option to determine who will be able to see the minor referrals that have been recorded.

• If you choose “All Staff,” all Minor referrals will be visible to all staff members.
• Choosing “Staff Member Assigning the Minor Referral Only” means that the staff member will only see minors that they have created. 

6. Student Referral Visibility: Visibility of basic referral information (i.e. Date/Time, submitting staff member, and problem behavior) in the Student Portal and Student App can be set to be visible or not visible.   

7. Delete All Referral Alerts: This delete button can be used to delete referral notices from the system.
