Messages

The class and its families write to each other: an announcement to every family of the class, or a conversation about one pupil.

What it does

Messages with families. The class teacher writes to every family of the class or to one; a parent answers from the portal or the phone. Nothing is edited afterwards, and the number of conversations that wait is on every screen.

Open Messages in the class. New message: under To choose All families of the class or one pupil's family, write the subject and the message, Send.
A message to the whole class is an announcement: every family of the class reads it, nobody answers it to all.
A message about one pupil is a conversation: the parent answers from the family portal or the phone, and the answer arrives in the same conversation.
An orange dot marks a conversation in which a family has written since you last looked. The number beside Messages - in the menu, on the tab, on the start screen - counts them.

What is sent is not edited or deleted afterwards: what a school wrote to a parent is a record.
A parent writes; a pupil signed in with their own code reads.

We set it up on a copy of your timetable and walk through a week of a real class with you.
