Can parents message in a group chat?

Parents Rights

School Admins can adjust the user rights for the chat. They can:

  • Turn off chat from parents and use it only for internal staff communication

  • Turn off the chat from all stakeholders

  • Allow parents to send chat messages but require a staff member added to the thread

  • Allow parents to send chat messages without requiring a staff member

To adjust parent settings, go to the Access Rights page.


Group Chats

If chatting is enabled for parents, the system does not place limits on how many members can be added to the group chat.


Automated Parent Chat for Clubs & Programs

Clubs & Programs may have needs to discuss certain logistics among parents only, and not include admins and teachers to the conversations. Therefore, School Signals has created a simple way for parents to exchange messages among all parent members of their child's club or program.

Parent group chat for Clubs and Programs is an optional feature.

The feature is activated by School Signals Support. Lean more.
