Overview
District administrators can send broadcast messages via email (not LoopMail) to all registered users. Those using our Plus product may also include the registered parents of selected schools in the district. Messages are delivered immediately to the inbox of the email address listed for each user's School Loop account. Since the messages are sent with a generic "from" address, recipients cannot reply to the sender.
District admins can access this tool via a new link in the Toolbox located at the top of the right column in their user portals.

NOTE: The body of your message may contain links, images and files. And like news, you may choose to style the text of your message using our rich text editor.
