When students want to communicate with a teacher but don’t want to post in the class, they can send a private message. Messages can normally only be read by the recipients and the sender. But be aware: school and district administrators can see Edsby inboxes. Messages in Edsby are never archived or deleted because of the student safety and compliance policies unique to K-12. Nor can students unsend or erase messages.
Click the mail icon in the navigation bar to access the inbox and view all past messages.
New messages are created by clicking the compose icon in the inbox.
Students can take pictures through a device’s camera, attach existing pictures or photos, videos, Internet links and other files to messages using the icons at the bottom of the message compose window.
Note: most schools and districts intentionally disable Edsby messaging between students.
