Does it matter to a teacher if I email them through ParentVue versus just sending them an email from my gmail account?

I find it easier to send from my gmail and can copy in my DH, but am curious if sending from ParentVue is helpful for the teacher.

If you email through ParentVUE, It remains on file For anyone to see. So depending on the topic or content, you may want to email there instead.

Um, in case you may have forgotten, email stays on file as well.

I prefer emails to my outlook vs synergy.

Most teachers have indicated that they prefer emails to their mcps emails

Lol you have no idea how parent vue works. The emails will live there forever, from the entire time a child is enrolled in mcps. So it will be there for ANY staff member to see. In case “you may have forgotten “

Teacher here. I prefer parents directly email me through their gmail account. Synergy is a pain to use and adds an extra step to respond back to the parent

This. Most teacher I know (work with and my kid’s current and past teachers) all prefer emails go to our outlook accounts. Synergy is a pain.

Every staff member can read every student and teacher ParentVue message?

No, staff members can't read every email in Synergy. I imagine that there are some IT people who can see all of the emails sent.

I imagine they are the same ones who have admin access to outlook-based email

It is much harder for me to respond to a parent who emails from ParentVue. Even if forwarded to Outlook, I still have to log into Synergy to reply to those messages.

I log every single parent email regardless of how it is sent.
