Who is the Chat intended for?
The chat messaging is intended only for those teachers and parents who have an account in School Signals and who have agreed to the School Signals' Terms of Use.
Do I need the app?
You do not have to download the app to send or receive chat messages. You can send or receive chat messages using the desktop version or the mobile web. However, downloading the School Signals app is recommend for instant push notifications that notify users on new messages.
Can a parent or teacher opt out from messages?
We respect user's privacy. A user can opt-out from receiving Chat messages. In that case the Message button would not show up in user's profile view, and the user's name would not show up in the list of recipients.
