Write privately to one parent, or publish news that every student and parent of a group sees. Both send a notification to the people concerned.
Before you start
- Sign in as “Teacher”. You can write to the students and parents of your groups, to colleagues and to the front desk. In the feed you post to your own groups only.
- The page reminds you that center management may review conversations.
Steps
- Open “Messages” and press the plus button, “New conversation”.
- Type the parent's name and choose them from the list. Each parent is listed with their children's names.
- Write the text in “Type a message…” and press “Send”. Enter also sends; Shift and Enter start a new line.
- To tell a whole group, open “Feed”. In “New post”, choose the “Group”.
- Write the “Post text”. Attach a photo or a PDF if you want to; this is optional.
- Press “Publish”.
Result
The message is in the conversation, and the parent reads it in the app and gets a notification. The post is at the top of the feed. The students of the group and their parents are told, and the post shows how many have seen it.
If something looks different
- A parent is missing from the list: none of their children is in your groups.
- To correct a post, press “Edit” on it; to remove it, press “Delete”. Only its author and the founder can.
