Facts about emailing via Veracross
- Do we HAVE to use Veracross to email parents?
- Yes, we want everyone to communicate with parents via the Veracross Teacher Portal
When I send an email from Veracross, does it come from MY email? Yes, the email will go through the Veracross portal, but once parents receive it, they will see your name in the reply-to address When parents reply to the email sent, will it come to my email? Yes, if you send it from your gmail account, your information will be in the reply-to address Do I have 2 emails now? No, you will only use your gmail account to send and receive email In gmail, some teacher teams have a group (ie: 3ch@riverdale.edu) which we use to send and receive emails. On Veracross, can we use this group account to send emails so that we can both receive it? Veracross RESENDS the email with whatever reply-to address YOU have on the original email that you sent to the Distribution Group. When sending an email, make sure to change the sender information to your group address. 3ch-class@riverdale.edu, the replies will go there. Veracross does NOT receive ANY email whatsoever.
