Lesson messages allow families and teachers to exchange messages within individual lessons. This is great for simple follow-up questions from the family or for the teacher to pass on extra info related to the lesson.
Note: to enable/disable the feature for your school see this article.
How It Works
The family uses the ‘Leave a message’ section at the bottom of the lesson to send a message to their teacher.
The teacher will receive an email with a link to reply.
The teacher can click the link in the email to leave a message for the family.
The family will see the teacher's reply in the lesson. They will also receive an email containing the reply and a respond link.
Permissions
Only the teacher who created the lesson and the family the lesson was created for can send messages in the lesson.
Admins and owners can see all messages and delete them if required, but they can't send messages.
Owners can enable/disable the feature for the whole school.
Note
The lesson messages feature is currently only available for private lessons.
