This document outlines how we handle your requests, what to expect, and how escalations are managed to ensure timely resolution of your concerns. #### **1. What is Our Customer Escalation Process?** We have a structured approach to handling customer issues: 1. **Submission** – You report an issue via: 1. sending an email to \[support@schoolday.com\] 2. [creating a ticket](https://help.gg4l.com/knowledge/customer-portal?hsLang=en) on [Customer Portal](https://help.gg4l.com/support?hsLang=en) 3. submitting a [Support Case form](https://share.hsforms.com/1_R0_XlCKScyVRmOvRwFzYA35wnh) 2. **Acknowledgment** – You receive a confirmation that your request has been received. 3. **Initial Response** – Our support team reviews your request and attempts to resolve it. 4. **Escalation** – If the issue is complex or critical, it is escalated to the appropriate team. 5. **Resolution & Updates** – We provide regular updates and notify you once the issue is resolved. --- #### **2. What Should Customers Expect?** - **A confirmation email** with a case number after submitting a request. - **Clear communication** on issue status, including estimated resolution times. - **Regular updates** based on the severity of the issue ([see below](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/customer-inquiry-escalation-policy#categorization)). - **Escalation to higher support levels** if the issue requires specialized attention. --- #### **3. How Do We Report Issues When We’re Aware of Them?** If we detect an issue that affects you, we will: - Notify impacted customers via **email**. - Provide an **estimated time for resolution** (if available) or outline **required actions** from customer's end. - Share regular updates until the issue is resolved. You can check the status of your integrations on your School Passport account or by contacting support for more details. --- #### **4. How Should Customers Report Critical Issues?** If you encounter a **critical** issue, such as a major outage or system failure, please: 1. **Contact Support Immediately:** Email \[support@schoolday.com\] with "CRITICAL" in the subject line. 2. **Provide Key Details:** Include a clear description, screenshots, error messages, and any troubleshooting steps taken. 3. **Ensure PII data is not shared:** Do not include sensitive information directly in emails. Instead, use the School Passport internal user SchoolDay ID (can be found in the SchoolDay platform) to reference affected users. 4. **Use Alternative Contact (If Available):** If email is not responsive, call our emergency line at \[888-557-6085\]. For non-critical issues, please submit a ticket via our [Customer Portal](https://help.schoolday.com/support?hsLang=en) to ensure efficient tracking. --- #### **5. Who Handles Your Request Internally?** Once an issue is reported, it follows this process: - **Customer Support Representative**: Initial assessment and troubleshooting. - **Technical Support**: Escalation for complex technical issues. - **Dev/Engineering Team**: In-depth investigation for system-wide or technical failures. - **Product Team**: If the issue impacts business operations, our product team will be informed. A **dedicated support agent** will communicate with you throughout the process. --- #### **6. How Are Issues Categorized?** We prioritize issues based on urgency and impact: | **Severity Level** | **Description** | **Expected Response Time** | **Expected Resolution Time** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Critical (P1)** | Complete system outage or major functionality failure affecting all users. | **2 business hours** | **6 business hours** | | **High (P2)** | Partial system outage or severe issue affecting many users. More than 5 reports of the issue. The issue happened more than 3 times for the same customer. | **2 business hours** | **8 business hours** | | **Medium (P3)** | Functional issue with workarounds available. System performance is slower than usual 2-5 reports of the issue. The issue happened for the second time for the same customer. | **4 business hours** | **3 business days** | | **Low (P4)** | Minor issue or general inquiry. The first report of an issue. One user is affected. | **8 business hours** | **5 business days** | --- #### **7. How Long Should You Wait for Updates?** We provide updates based on the severity of the issue. For cases requiring additional development or extended resolution time, we provide updates every 3 business days. If you haven’t received an update within the expected timeframe, please follow up with your case number. --- #### **8. Need Further Escalation?** If you feel your issue is not being resolved in a timely manner, you can escalate it by: 1. **Replying to your support ticket** and requesting escalation or providing additional details. 2. **Contacting your Account Manager/POC at SchoolDay** (if applicable). 3. **Reaching out via \[888-557-6085\]** for urgent matters. --- #### **9.
