Communicating with the parents of kids in specific Groups

1. From the Groups page, select the desired Groups. This works with your default (unsaved) Selection. It won't work if you save the Selection:

2. From the Contacts page use the view titled Parents of Group Members. Note that if there are teachers or other adults in the Groups selected they, and their spouses, appear in the view.
   • Please Note:
     • ​If there are teachers or other adults in the Groups selected the adults as well as their spouses will appear in the view. 
     • Anyone with the Adult Child Household Position will not yield parent results.
3. Use this view to select and communicate with parents of those in the groups selected.
