What this is
Messages brings together private conversations with school staff, shared groups and school announcements.
Do this
After you sign in as a parent, open Messages from the left menu.
Choose a conversation, or use the plus beside Private conversations. Type a name in To at the bottom of the conversation area. Select a school staff member to open the conversation and start typing.
Type a reply and tap Send when you want to answer.
How it works
- Private conversation
- only you and the listed participants. You can start a private message to school staff; other guardians are not automatically added.
- Staff updates only
- a group for school notes. Use Reply privately to start a separate message to school staff.
- Read
- use Mark as read after reading. Parents can discuss together in discussion groups. School audience groups follow enrollment automatically, and new members see messages from when they join. Open Members to mute notifications.
