How do I contact parents both individually and as a grade level group?

Hi Felicia -

How are your families enrolled in Canvas? Are you looking to message families from one course or multiple?

Are you hoping to send a message only to parents/guardians (observers) or to the students?

[felicia_i_livel]

Yes-- I'm still looking for the way to contact parents and students as a group per course. Things like the password to the Zoom meeting, the next meeting, alternative assignments etc...

Hi Felicia -

You think you'll be able to do this with the Canvas Inbox.

How do I use the Inbox as an instructor?‌

How do I send a message to a user in a group in the Inbox as an instructor?‌

Remember to check the box "send an individual message to each recipient" box though! Without it checked, when someone replies, it acts like a reply all.

If this doesn't work, please reply! I can continue to troubleshoot with you.
