πŸ”’ All staff members with an active roll will be able to create an Out of Office status

How does the Out of Office Status Work?

Parents will see your Out of Office status as a pop-up banner at the bottom of the screen when they go to write you a message.

Note that Out of Office statuses do not show up for messages sent to an entire room.


How do I Set an Out of Office Status?

To set your Out of Office status click on your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner and select My account β†’ Notifications and Messaging.

Here you'll see the option to select dates and write a personal message (if you'd like). Hit save and you're good to go!

πŸ’‘ Your Out of Office status is limited to 80 characters, so keep it short and sweet!
