If you would like to contact a few of your parents/guardians without posting to the entire class, please use the Direct Messages feature. Select Messages from the left sidebar on the homepage. Here, you can select either a single parent to message, or multiple parents. Just begin typing their name in the recipient field, and they will appear as an option. If you select more than one recipient, the choice will come up to have it as a private message or a group message. A private message will create individual threads to each recipient, whereas a group message will create one thread where all recipients can communicate. Here is a help article on Direct Messaging.

Teachers have the ability to create groups with students who are not in their class. Please visit Groups > New Group > New Static Group or New Auto-Update Group. From here you can create the group and choose a name and description for your group, as well as whether or not you want the group to be public or private. At the bottom, you can add your members by searching for them and checking the box next to the name of the individuals you would like to add. When you are finished click Save at the bottom. Here is a help article on creating a group.
