By default, students and teachers can only communicate if they are in the same class.
If participants need to communicate outside these boundaries, administrators can create User Groups and invite any mix of administrators, teachers, parents or students. For example:
school fete organisation between administrators, parents and students
subject discussions between teachers
book groups, etc.
These users can then converse in the group and see each other’s replies.
Administrators will find User groups under Communication.
Click Communication > User Groups > Create User Group
