  1. Select available sections in the current term and one term previous. Leave All Students
    selected to include all active students in the selected Section or mark Specific Students to choose
    individuals. Move students to and from the Student List using the Add and Remove buttons. Add All and Remove All options are at the bottom of the lists.

  2. Once you've selected students as possible recipients, determine the Recipient Criteria for the message (which grades from which tasks and standards cause a message to generate).
    Three options filter which grades meet the criteria:

    1. Select Type of Grades - In Progress and Posted

    2. Select Grades - The letter grade or rubric score the student earned. Options display for each of the scores.

    3. Select Term Grading Tasks and Standards - The Grading Tasks and Standards that are aligned to Categories in the current Term.

  3. Below these options is a checkbox to Allow Repeat Messages, which allows multiple messages to be
    sent to the same recipient. For example, if you are generating a message to students who received an A or a B as their Term or Semester grades and a student received a B for the Term and an A for the
    Semester, that student would receive multiple messages.

  4. Click Next.

Grades Message: Step 3

...

The final step of creating and sending a message is to review recipients and send the message.

The Delivery Summary displays the options selected in the Delivery Details at the beginning, and the Recipient Counts, as well as a Preview of the Message(s) with any attachments. Recipient Counts indicate the total number of recipients, as well as:

  • The number who will not receive the message through any means (No Device),

  • The number with a Portal account who could receive the message through the Process Inbox, and

  • Those who had email addresses or phone number in Census with the appropriate messenger settings who received the message through those methods (Email and Voice/Text).

You can review specific recipients, by clicking Review Recipients at the bottom of the screen. To remove a recipient prior to sending the message, or to remove a delivery device, unmark the checkbox next to the individual or any of their message devices. Click Preview to view the message as that parent would see it, with the appropriate Campus fields populated.

Recipients who do not have any devices listed below their names (such as email addresses and phone numbers) will not receive the message.

If you've made any changes to this screen, click Save and then Close to return to the preview screen. Otherwise, click Close to return.

Click Send to send the message at the indicated time. If any of the delivery devices is recognized as invalid, an error message displays and messages are not sent. Return to Review Recipients to remove erroneous devices.

Once messages are successfully sent, a summary screen displays recipient counts. To view a log of messages sent, mark the checkbox next to the delivery devices and click View Log to view a printable version of the log.
