Composing a Manual Email

To manually compose an email to a student, complete the following steps:

  1. Search for and select the student record you want to send a communication. For more information see Searching for Student Records.
  2. Expand the Communications options in the middle navigation menu and select Communication Log.
  1. From the New menu in the upper right, select Compose Manual Email to open the communication editor.
  2. Optionally, select the academic year the communication applies to.
  3. Select the sender email address from the From list. Your individual email address will be available to select only if your user account has been configured to allow outgoing email.
  4. Select the recipient email address(es) from the To list. This is a multi-select field; depending on what data is available for the student, the following options will be displayed:
    • Student Email Address 1, from the Student Profile
    • Student Email Address 2, from the Student Profile
    • ISIR Student Email Address, from the ISIR Student Data
    • ISIR Parent Email Address, from the ISIR Parent Data
  5. Enter the subject line for the email. The subject may already be prepopulated if a default subject was specified when the communication template was created. This default text can be edited.
  6. Enter the text of the email and optionally select an attachment. You can upload files directly or select any that have been previously uploaded into the File Manager. For more information, see Uploading a File.

    Tip: The text editor contains a number of different formatting tools to customize the look and feel of your communication. These tools are similar to those found in typical email clients and word processing software.

Select Send. A success message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page letting you know the communication has been sent.

A copy of the communication text is automatically saved in the student’s communication log. For more information, see Viewing or Resending a Communication.
