If you're a staff member and are unable to message parents, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  1. Account Role Misalignment:

    • Your account might be set to a role that has no permission to send messages to parents. To verify and correct your account role, please contact your school's Bloomz administrator or reach out to Bloomz Support at [email protected].
  2. Parent-to-Parent Communication Settings:

    • If you're listed as a parent, the inability to message other parents could stem from disabled parent-to-parent communication settings in your class or community. When this setting is disabled:
      • Parents cannot send messages to other parents.
      • Parents can only message teachers, admins, or room parents.
      • Parents cannot see other parents in the Members tab of the class/community.
    • To adjust these settings, a teacher or admin needs to:
      • Navigate to the class/community page.
      • Click the Settings wheel icon at the top right corner.
      • Select "Edit Settings."
      • Enable the "Parent to Parent Communication" setting.
      • Click "Done" to save changes.
    • For detailed instructions, refer to Bloomz's support article on Parent To Parent Communication Controls.
  3. Technical Issues:

    • Occasionally, technical glitches can affect messaging functionalities. If neither of the above scenarios applies, consider:
      • Logging out and back into your Bloomz account.
      • Ensuring you're using the latest version of the Bloomz app or accessing the platform via a compatible web browser.
      • Contacting Bloomz Support at [email protected] with specific details of the issue.
