Overview You can now find parents by searching for their child's name when starting conversations! This makes it much easier for teachers to contact parents without having to remember parent names or deal with different last names.

Perfect for teacher-parent communication Teachers often know students well but may not remember parent names, especially when families have different last names or multiple guardians. Now you can simply search for the student's name and see all related parents in the results.

Clear relationship identification When parents appear in your search results because of their child's name, you'll see the student's name listed next to the parent's role. This makes it crystal clear which student each parent is connected to, so you always contact the right family.

Works for all conversation types This enhanced search works whether you're:

  • Starting individual conversations with specific parents
  • Creating bulk messages to multiple families
  • Using the Dashboard or mobile app for communication

Common scenarios this helps This feature is especially useful for:

  • Parent-teacher conferences when you need to follow up with specific families
  • Student-specific issues that require parent communication
  • Class updates where you want to message parents of particular students
  • Behavioral or academic discussions that involve specific students

This makes parent communication much more intuitive and efficient, especially for teachers managing large classes or multiple grade levels.
