Semester Final Grade as it will not work.
Previewing and Sending Emails
 Click on Preview Notices button at the bottom of the
page. This will allow you to see how the message will
look to recipients. Below the message, the recipient
count and email count is provided. (Please note that if a
family has an email for the mother and an email for the
father, this messenger will send the message to both
parents by default.)
 Click Review Recipients to see a list of parents that
will be contacted. You need to confirm that each
student selected has at least one parent email. If it
doesn’t, you will need to call the parent and let your
building secretary know so they can get an updated
email address for the family. (Click Sort by Student
Name is useful if the student has parents with different
last names.)
 You can click the paper icon in the Preview column to
preview the exact email that each parent will receive.
 Click Save Recipients to return to the preview notice
window.
