Message Center

Hey there! 

If you're watching this, you're probably responsible for getting important messages out to parents and students. Did you know that with Skyward you can set some of these old-school methods aside? 

Let's take a look. 

To access the Message Center, go to Advanced Features, then select Message Center. 

Here you'll see a list of all the messages you've sent. The column headings indicate whether the message was posted to Family Access, Student Access, sent via email, or recalled. Click on a heading to sort messages by that category. 

On the right side, with filter options, you can choose to filter only messages created since a certain date. Then you can determine whether to show messages for all users. 

To create a new message, click Add on the right side of the screen. 

Fill in the form, including the message priority. Select how you'd like to deliver the message and enter your recipients. Use the buttons on the right to add attachments and save your message. 

Back on the Message Center main screen, the Edit, Recall, and Clone buttons on the right give you additional options. 

If you often send similar messages, you can save time with defaults. The options within this feature are the same as those you fill in when creating a new message. 

Getting the word out doesn't have to be a big ordeal. 

Work smarter with Skyward.
