3) You should then see the picture below.  Please do the following things on this page.
  • Leave it as class message
  • Leave the user/user group as user
  • Leave a new template--- you may create templates but wouldn't have any at this time
  • Look at all the delivery information and make sure it is what you want
  • I always change the Sender's Email to my email address but it depends how you want to do it...

  • You are in Term 1 so no need to check other terms
  • Choose your class or classes

6) Last but not least.... You will find this page.  Before you hit send, it might be a good idea to hit the "Review Recipients" button to see if you are getting all of the parent contacts you intended to.  You can uncheck someone if you want, etc.  If you hit close on that page, you can hit the Send button and it should go out to your parents.
