Announcing the Parent-Teacher Conference Immediately
After completing the steps in the “How to Create a Parent-Teacher Conference” section, you may follow the steps below to announce your Parent-Teacher Conference.
Note: If there are students with guardians in your class in SchoolStatus Connect, you can go ahead and announce the conference times. Announcing conferences will send all linked guardians an email or SMS with your message and the conference details.
1. Click Announce rather than I'm Done.
This will take you to the Create an Announcement Page:
Once you have |drafte the Announcement, you can click Send in the upper-right corner to send it immediately, or use the dropdown option to schedule it for a later delivery.
To learn more about Announcements, click here.
Note: Depending on their communication preferences, guardians will receive either an email or an SMS about your conferences.
If notifications are not successfully sent to the preferred channel, the system will use the alternative method. For example, if a user's preferred communication method is email, but their email inbox is full and the notifications are not delivered successfully, the system will send notifications via SMS. Once the issue behind the failed emails is resolved, and the user’s “unreachable” email status is reset on Connect, the system will revert to sending communications via the preferred channel - email.
Note: If you haven’t announced your conference yet, guardians can still find it in the Activities tab of your classroom.
