Adding Outside Users to the System

As the principal, you have the ability to add outside users (senders) to the system. Outside users include Vice Principals, Teachers, Team Leaders, Instructional Leaders, Administrative Support Staff or PTA officials. You have the control to approve anyone to send emails through your eSchoolnewsletter system. However, as a security precaution, all emails sent by outside users, will first go to the principal for review. You have the authority to approve or reject any email from your outside users.

The setup process is very simple :
1 - As outside users initially signup , they will request to be your outside user or “sender”. You as the principal will receive their request.

2 - On your Outside User screen (as shown below), you may either approve or reject their request. The request will be in the Pending (P) status until it is either accepted or rejected. If you approve the request, the outside user will be sent a confirmation and will be allowed to use the eSchoolnewsletter System. If you reject their record, you will be provided with a screen that allows you to send an email stating why the record has been rejected and their information will be deleted. If the status of a record is Approved (A), then the outside user has access to the eSchoolnewsletter system and is ready to go.

In the sample below, two individuals have requested to be outside users of the system. One is a Team Leader and one is a PTA President. The Team Leader has already been approved and the PTA President is still waiting a decision from the principal.

3 - Any email that is sent by an outside user to the students/parents, will first come to you, the principal, for review. See “Approve Newsletter” below for more information.
 

Approve Newsletter

As principal, you will receive requests from your outside users, such as the one listed in the table below. In this example, an approved outside user has requested to send an email called “Holiday Schedule” to 44 email addresses. You have the ability to first review the email and then either accept or decline their request. If you decline, the outside user will receive an automatic response indicating that the request was rejected.

Count Report

Count reports are available to all principals detailing the parent participation. Below is a sample :

School Grade Students Central Middle School 6 210 7 168 8 158 Total 536 Total Families: 492 Total Students: 536 Total Emails When Sending By School: 697 Total Home & Work Emails When Sending By Grade: 764

In this sample, there are 492 families that have signed up to receive eSchoolnewsletters from Central Middle School. The total number of students within these 492 families is 536 students. Because most families have more than one email address, sending an eSchoolnewsletter to the entire school will get delivered to 697 email account holders. If eSchoolnewsletters are sent out by grade, the number increases to 764 email account holders.
