Send a message to all parents in the course or group
You can send a Schoology message to parents of members in your course or group. This method of communication is a great way to send course updates and reminders that may interest Parents, but not students. To send a message to parents, follow these steps:
- Navigate to a course you administer.
- Click on Course Options on the left menu of the course/group profile.
- Select the option to Send Message.
- In the form that appears, you can choose to send a message to All Members, Admins, Members, or Parents. Select the option to send a message to Parents.
- Enter a Subject and Message and click Send to complete.
Send a message to an individual parent
You may also send messages to the parent of a student in the course or group from the Members area of the course profile. To send a message to your parents, follow these steps:
- Navigate to a course you administer.
- Click on the Members area on the left menu of the course/group profile.
- Click on the gear to the right of a student's name.
- Select the option to Message parents.
- Enter a subject and a message and click Send to complete.
Note: These messages will appear in parents' Messages inbox on the top and left menu of their Schoology accounts. The message will include the name of the course, the sender's name, and a tag of the child associated with the course.
