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 use the 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 โ†’ 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!
