Why Create Staff Groups?
When you need to send messages to specific groups of staff members, rather than the entire team, ReachMyTeach makes it easy to create and manage these groups. This ensures your communication is targeted and efficient. You must have admin permissions to create these groups.
Creating Your Staff Group
To get started, log in to ReachMyTeach. In the upper right-hand corner of your dashboard, find and click on "Teacher Contacts." Once you're in the Teacher Contacts section, look to the left-hand side of the screen and click "New Group."
A prompt will appear asking you to name your group. Enter a clear and descriptive name, such as "Bus Drivers" or "Admin Team." After naming your group, you'll be able to select the educators you want to include by clicking on their names. Once you've chosen all the necessary members, click "Save." Your group is now ready to use.
Sending Messages to Your New Group
When it’s time to send a message, go to the messaging section. You’ll see an option to select the entire staff. If you want to message just your group, deselect "All teachers" and search for your specific teacher group. Then, compose your message and send it out.
By following these steps, you can streamline communication within your school, ensuring that the right messages reach the right people quickly and efficiently.
