Messaging Parents
Would you like to email all of the student's parents? You can use the Course Options - Send Message to reach the parents.
First, select "Send Message" from the "Course Option" menu just below the course picture in the upper left corner.
Next, click on the drop-down menu next to "All Members," scroll down and select "Parents."
NOTE: "All Members" and "Members" only send the message to students.
Changing Due Dates
Snow days, assemblies, need a little more time for students to prepare for a project or test? The best-laid plans sometimes need adjusting. On your course calendar, you can quickly drag and drop assignments, tests, and discussions to a new due date. Just click on the item you would like to move, drag it to the new due date, and drop. The due date on the item is automatically updated.
