How to send a message to a class, student, or colleague
- 1In the sidebar under Communication, click "Messages"
- 2Click the "Compose" button in the page header
- 3In the "New message" dialog, pick the audience from the "Send to" chips — "A class", "A student", "A teacher" or "All teachers" (admins also see "All students")
- 4Pick the "Recipient" — click the picker and type to search
- 5Fill in "Subject (optional)" and the "Message" body
- 6Check the "Sending to:" line, then click "Send" (a class send reads "Send to 14" so the size is confirmed first)
- 7Click the "Sent" chip above the list to see the note you just sent; recipients read it in their inbox, and parents and students in the portal Messages tab

One compose reaches every family's portal inbox — plus teacher-to-family threads and an oversight search so leadership can stand behind every message.
