Send Email (for Teachers) Index  

On the page in Gradebook Mode, teachers can send grades and announcements to their students and their parents/contacts. (Not available for the Free version.) Options include:

To — Select one student, a whole class, or several classes, and send to just students or parents or both.

Bcc — Optionally send a copy of the email to someone else. If you send an email for just one student, it sends a blind copy of the whole email. But if you select multiple students, it sends just a single copy of the "Note for everyone" (if any), rather than copies of every student's email, because that would flood their inbox. You can see this in the Preview.

Subject — It automatically appends the student's name to the subject, so it's easier for parents/contacts if they receive email for multiple students in the school. It also makes it easier to identify the student if the email bounces back.

Message — Select what you want included in each email:

•  

Note  (Notes to individuals are erased after you send them, so you don't accidentally send the same note to someone else. Notes for the whole class are not erased.)

•  General Announcement from the page.
•  Individual Comments from the page.
•  One-click access links
•  Current grades in your classes
•  Report cards for all classes
•  List of all assignments
•  List of selected assignments
•  List of missing assignments only

Attachments — You can post files online and include a link to your files in your email. This is not actually an attachment, so do not delete or rename your file till everyone has a chance to download it.

Spanish Translation — Email can be translated to Spanish automatically. See Bilingual

View Log — Click the "View Log" button to see all the email messages you have sent. Messages are saved for 12 months, then they are deleted automatically. Admins can see your messages, but other teachers cannot. You can see also any automatic email alerts.
