Embedded Files
Messaging allows communication among the people in your class community. A group discussion platform is automatically created for each class, which includes every teacher and student added to the class. There is also a noticeboard where you can pin the most relevant messages. Teachers can communicate with guardians in a joint conversation involving all the parents of the students in the class, as well as send private messages to individual guardians. Students can using messaging in smaller teacher created groups, but they cannot send private messages to each other. Private messages between teachers and the students are possible.
