MyConferenceTime allows admins to send reminders to everyone who signed up for conferences for specific dates. Sending reminders for specific dates from Summaries -> Date Summary is the recommended method of sending reminders. Admins can send the reminders from the Date Summary by using the directions for sending for specific dates reminders.
If an admin wants teachers to be able to send reminders from the teacher's schedule, this feature must be enabled by the admin. Please note that sending reminders from the teacher's schedule page is not the recommended method of sending email reminders to parents but we realize sometimes it is necessary to notify only a select group of parents.
To enable the email reminder option on teachers' schedules:
- Log in as the admin
- In the "Admin Options" menu at the top of the screen, select "Advanced Settings"
- Find setting #1.8: "Hide button on staff schedule pages for sending reminders to parents:" and change to "No"
After the "send reminders" feature is enabled for staff, staff will see the button for sending reminders located below their conference schedules. Staff members must first select the recipients (use the checkbox beside each student's name) and then click on the button to send reminders.
