Message Center

Tool Search: Message Center

The Message Center collects all your messages, including process alerts and notices, and displays as the home page for all users once logged in to Campus. It includes three areas:

  • All Items, which lists Process Alerts and general Announcements, as well as messages sent to specific users through Messenger.
  • Process Alerts, which are sent automatically based on processes in Campus, such as records transfer or responses to behavior referrals.
  • Announcements, which include State, District and School notices sent as messages to all users through User Communication.

Sort messages using the Sort by dropdown list. Options are:

  • Sticky - sticky messages are at the top, followed by other messages sorted by date.
  • Date (newest) - messages sorted with most recent at the top.
  • Date (oldest) - messages sorted with earliest at the top. 

Filter the messages in your inbox by clicking the All Items, Process Alerts or Notices buttons at the top.

New Messages

New messages have an orange New indicator that disappears when you read the message. 

The orange number icon indicates how many messages you have. In the example above, the teacher has 4 new messages, including 3 process alerts and 1 notice.

Messages with the yellow post-it icon are designated as "sticky,"  which means they appear at the top of you inbox and you can't delete them. These messages are given an end date when they're created, at which point they disappear from your inbox.

To view a message, click on the blue link. The message opens in the Campus Tools.
