Both you and your student have the ability to message teachers through Schoology. This can be a great way to encourage independence and teach email etiquette to younger students in a safe environment. Note that students only have the ability to message their teachers; they cannot message their peers.

To send a message to a teacher using Schoology Messenger:

1. Navigate to the blue navigation bar.

2. Click on the envelope.

3. Select New Message on the top right side.

4. Type the teacher’s name in the TO: box. Make sure it is the correct person. Hint: Only type the person's last name, not both first and last, in the search bar.

5. Add a subject and a message.

6. Press Send.

The .gif below walks you through this process.

You and your student may also get messages from your teacher in this way, so remember to check for them often!
