Messenger and Newsletter

It's great to hear that more and more teachers are using the Messenger feature in Infinite Campus to communicate with students and parents through the portal and via email. It's a great method of easily sending email to groups of students and groups of parents.

Please keep in mind that copying and pasting messages from Word into any Infinite Campus module can be problematic. Word has some hidden formatting that causes strange things to happen. The most common issue is that apostrophes show up as question marks.

It is okay to copy and paste from Wordpad if you wish. That works well. You can find Wordpad in Start-Programs-Accessories.

If you would like more information about using Messenger, please see page 113 of your 2009-2010 Teacher Guide.

I've also posted a handout explaining how to use the Newsletter in Infinite Campus. You will find it in my box.net files in the panel on the right of my blog.
