Sending a Request to Parent/Guardian

To send an email and text to the parent/guardian, or receive a link, requesting that they complete the Food Program paperwork:

• Click on Participants & Rosters.
• Click on the name of the Parent/Guardian.
• Select from:
• Generate Request Link: if you would like to receive a link, for example, in order to send onto to a parent using your own email account.
• Send Request for Form: if you would like the software to send the link via email and/or text automatically.

• Send Request for Form
• Once you click “Send Request for Form” three things will happen:
• If
  there are multiple parents that are marked as "primary" then the system will prompt the user to decide which parent should receive the email.

• You will see the request listed under Ready Records Requests with the date the request was sent along with the email address to which the request was sent.

An email and text will be instantly sent to the parent/guardian email address and phone number. Instruct them to look for an email from “[email protected]” and a text from "651-300-2911". Within those messages there will be a link for them to click. The module will walk the parent/guardian through the process step-by-step.

This is what the email will look like:

This is what the text will look like:
