Skyward: Message Center for staff

Curriculum Resources for staff

Short version:  Skyward Message Center  [4 stars] Constantly updated resource for anyone wanting to know which apps, web sites, online simulations, and resources will be useful for their team.

3 minute read: The Message Center will allow you to communicate to the parent/guardians of your students. The Message Center allows you to communicate with your students as well. You will have a choice of posting messages to Family Access and/or to send email messages.

You have various ways to access the Message Center in Skyward: 

> In your Gradebook, pull down the Other Access menu and choose Message Center from there.

Another way to get to the Message Center is 
> My Classes – click on the Class Options link for any course
Then click on the Message Center line

>  To start the communication to the parents or students – you will use either the Add Message for Multiple Classes or the Add Message for Current Class button. It just depends on how many students/classes you are sending the message.

? If you only need to send a message to one class…then use the button Add Message for Current Class

> The screen for the Add Message for Multiple Classes works the same way as a single class

Notice at the bottom of this window that you can check certain classes that you teach….so in this example, I would only be sending the message and/or email to the parents/students in Pre-algebra classes.
