Use the Email page to send email to students you teach and/or their guardians. You can email an individual, a set of individuals, an entire class, or all classes you are responsible for. You can also enter additional email addresses and attach files. Each recipient will receive a separate email which lists only their address and the sender's email address.
Your district can configure Teacher Access Center to send email from a generic account. If the email is sent from a generic email address, your district may append a statement that the email cannot be replied to.
Note: Your district's Teacher Access Center setup may require that an email address be stored in your staff record before you can access or use this page.
