Direct Messages (also called "Messages") allow you to reach one user or a few specific users. Direct Messages are two-way translated. Users will receive direct Messages in their preferred language. 

  1. From Home, select Messages on the left.

2. Click New Message.


3. Add recipients using Quick Select Recipients or Recipients field (skip to next step.) 

To use Quick Select Recipients, check box to send to students (if StudentSquare enabled) or parents. Scroll to student's name and select. Or use Filter: type first 3 letters of name and select.
Note: Clicking on a student's name will add all parents/guardians associated with the student to your Recipients field.

4. You can also type names directly into the Recipients field if the user does not appear on the quick recipient list. In Recipients, type first 3 letters of recipient's name and select name.

5. If you select two or more people, choose Private Message or Group Message. Private message creates a separate conversation for each participant and they will only see messages from sender. Group message creates one conversation for all participants and each person will see messages from everybody else. Note: for more, watch this two-minute tip video.
