Review engagement and replies

The announcement list shows available engagement counts and comment controls. Open comments to review replies, and use the permitted enable/disable or moderation actions if needed. One guardian with more than one matching child receives one message rather than a separate duplicate for each matching child.

Understand who will receive it

• A guardian without an email will not become reachable merely because the child is on a class roll.
• An announcement appears in the Parent Portal; it is different from a phone text message.
• Portal publication does not use SMS credits, but it still requires the correct school and guardian links.
• If a family cannot see the notice, check their account email, linked child and chosen audience.
