In this article we’ll look at how you can designate Key Contacts for your school. The Key contacts panel is particularly important for parents. When parents log in they are automatically shown all the classes their kids are enrolled in, including the teachers for those classes. With the Key Contacts panel you can highlight additional names, such as front office staff or school administrators, who may also be important points of contact for parents.
