General Information

  • The Family Communication Log is located in the student profile

  • An entry will contain the date of communication, who was communicated with, the method of communication, and a description of the purpose for the communication.

  • Teachers are able to see entries made by other teachers for the same student, are not able to edit or delete those entries.

  • If a student is removed from a class, any entries made from that teacher will remain in the communication log and can still be viewed by other teachers.

  • Any time a message is sent from the Mailbox, it is automatically added to the Family Communication Log.

  • Family Communication Logs can be exported under certain circumstances. Click here for more details.
