Attendance Messenger Tool Rights

Users such as Front Office Staff and Attendance Clerks can send attendance-related messages to students' Messenger contacts based on selected criteria. Inbox and email messages are part of core campus functionality. Districts who wish to send text/SMS and voice messages must purchase that capability separately.

To learn how to use this tool, see the Attendance Messenger article.
