How do I send a private message to parents?

  • Log in to Famly

  • Tap on the message icon in the menu bar at the bottom of your screen

  • Tap the pen icon in the Private tab to write a new message

  • From here, you can choose whether to write a message to Parents or to employees. Tap on Parents

  • Tap on the child's classroom

  • Lastly, select the particular parent

  • Repeat this until you have added all the desired recipients. You can see all the added recipients in the To field

💡 Please note, you can send a message to a maximum of 50 recipients at a time. We recommend creating a newsfeed post if you want to reach more recipients

  • Write the message in the box at the bottom of the page
    (Write a message...). You can add a file by tapping the upload button and attaching a document or photo, for example.

  • Click Send button to the right or click Send & Archive (keeping your inbox nice and tidy).



From The Room Overview

You can send a private message by selecting the child whose parents you would like to write to from the Room Overview:

  • Tap on the Home icon in the menu bar at the bottom and select the classroom that the child is part of

  • Click on the particular child whose parent you'd like to write to or click Select all children if you wish to message all parents in that classroom.

  • Select Send Message in the sidebar to the right

  • You'll be directed to a messaging page, where the chosen child is selected as the recipient (their name will be next to To:)

  • Write your message in the Write a message... field and send it off by pressing Send
