Email Family/Email Parents Button In Course Rosters

Hello, I would like to request an enhancement to the roster section of academic groups specifically, but it could pertain to all groups. When a teachers views the roster, it would be great to have a button on each student to “Email Family” This could be programmed to pull up an email with student and both parents emails. Or maybe just “Email Parents” where both parents email addresses show in the email. Currently, if a teacher wants to email both parents they can click on the email address of the first parent, and then they have to copy and paste the other parent’s email address into the new message. Please let me know if you have any questions about this request.

    Agree 100%! I'm new to Blackbaud, and just got out of my first training. Came straight here to suggest this.

    This would be an awesome option. Click once instead of copy paste, switch screens copy paste....

    This is absolutely needed.  Sad that it was put in 2015 and it's not been included.

    Our previous LMS - Finalsite - had a really great layout where a teacher could easily see each student in a list and click a single checkbox next to a student's name to select all of their parents in order to send an email.  Or optionally, click an expand button next to a student in order to select only individual parents.  To have to copy and paste emails is from the 'View relationships' option is just plain inefficient.

    i use my home computer for personal 100% and my work computer for work 100%.  having the school emails push through to my work email is counter productive and crosses the definitive line i'm trying to set in my new role.

    Is there a way to vote for this 1000 times?  I might email my entire staff and have them vote on this...
