b. Leave the option set to: For each student parent combination to ensure that reports for all siblings are sent home.

b. Click Next Step.

8) On the final step of the wizard you will notice the Sending Statistics at the top of the page. You will be notified if any contacts are missing a valid email address and will therefore not be sent a report.

b. To enable additional options such as message translation or message scheduling, click Options.

 

 
10) If you are ready to send the message, simply click Send from the bottom right of the page to send it to the queue.

11) Once you have sent a message you will see a confirmation that they have been submitted to the message history queue.

After you have sent timetables home, you can open your Messenger History. As timetable data is first collected from SIMS, the status for the messages you have just sent will show as Awaiting Data. This may take some time, depending on the amount of timetable data and the number you have requested. You may wish to visit this area later in order to confirm the messages have been sent.

 

1) From Message History, queued reports will be displayed under the Message column as Student Report.

a. The Status column will initially display as Awaiting Data. Once the report information is collected from SIMS, it will be emailed to parents and the status will update to Processed.

2) Click on the message to view details in full, including the delivery status of individual recipients. For more information on how to navigate Message History, click here.

Top Tip: If you find a student is missing from the list of sent messages, it means they did not have a report of the type selected within the date range, either specified or implied as most recent. You should look in SIMS to investigate this.
