Yes, you can definitely use the app to email parents/emergency contacts.
1) Login to the ePACT app with your email and password and go to the organization or group you wish to message.
2) Click on Menu in the top right hand corner and select Member Messaging.
3) You now have the option to toggle the Emergency Message on or off. (If you are sending a general message that is not an emergency you would leave it off).
You can also choose to message JUST the parents/legal guardians or include the Emergency Contacts. In the example below, we are choosing to send a General Message and we are choosing to send it to everyone (including the emergency contacts).
If you wish to send a text or voice message - it can also be added on this page as well. Type your message and click on Send Message. Once you send the message you will receive a message confirming you are successful.
Please Note: You can email a specific individual but you must have an email app to do so as it won't go through our ePACT app and it will instead be launched using a separate app.
1) Login to the ePACT app with your email and password and go to the organization or group you wish to message.
2) Click on the child's record in order to view their profile and contact their parents or emergency contacts.
3) Scroll down to "Family Information" if you wish to email a parent, or scroll down even further to "Other Contacts" to message an Emergency Contact. Clicking on the URL link will launch your email app (if you have one installed) where you can compose and send your message. Please note, this is a separate app from ePACT.
