Best Practices for Effective Communication

• Verify Contact Information: Ensure that the student's contact information is accurate and updated regularly to avoid miscommunication.
• Consent and Privacy: Always have consent from parents or guardians for direct communication with students, especially if they are minors, and adhere to privacy regulations.
• Record Keeping: Keep track of communications sent for reference and follow-up. eduSYMS may have features that log these communications automatically.

The communication features within the 'Class List' view of eduSYMS BackOffice are designed to facilitate essential interactions between the school and the student's families, contributing to a cohesive educational community
