Overview
Behavior incidents are used to identify a student’s behavior, track the incident and outcome of it and notify the necessary people. Note that all sorts of incidents can be tracked with the feature, from violent ones requiring significant action and reporting, down to simple things like missing homework and lack of preparedness that may only need to be tracked.
