Email All
I would like the ability to "Email All" Parents for a particular student. Currently if I impersonate a teacher and go to a class roster page such as Arts Publications (Yearbook) and for a Student click on View Relationships, the teacher has the ability to Message All but can not Email All -- which is what we are looking for.
We implemented this (and dozens of other features, including the ability to select specific students in a roster to send emails to) via a user script.
The ability to quickly & efficiently communicate to our students' parents is very important to our teachers. The messaging within the software is not as efficient as emailing directly. Even though the parent receives notification that he/she has a message, they still have to login to the website to access it. That extra step is a bottleneck in the communication chain.
absolutely. this is important, as the Messaging system is to wide open to use for our school.
