Mini-Byte: Using the SchoolFusion Message Center
Posted by tekkieteacher on March 10, 2008
SchoolFusion’s AfterClass suite of tools allows you to easily communicate with your students — even those without an email address in the system!
In order for students to easily send a message to you, you must first complete your AfterClass profile. Once that is done, students just go to your profile and submit a message through the message center. Copies of the message are then sent to your GroupWise mailbox and to your SchoolFusion Message Center.
When you respond to the student’s message, copies are sent to their message center and email (if they have one in the system).

To avoid inbox overflow, people may want to set their notification preferences to 1 email summary of messages a day. This way you get 1 email with all of your messages instead of 20-30 emails plus all the messages in your AfterSchool inbox.

Great suggestion, JJ! Thanks!

Another point to make — teachers can only email students using the Message Center AFTER the student has first sent the teacher a message.
