Communicating with Volunteers and Students

Now that you have done the hard work of creating student and volunteer assignments, it's time to reap the rewards! There are many things you can do at this point but you mainly want to be able to find all your students.

Use People Query Builder to find your students and volunteers and send an email or print address labels. This option provides you a quick way to communicate with your students and volunteers through group email. To find a particular group of students:

1. Click People > Search > People Query to display the People Query Builder.
2. Select the following from the displayed fields
   1. Search by: Participant Assignment
   2. Field: Room Location Class
   3. Comparison: Equal To
   4. Value: Student Ministry > Middle School > 6th Grade
3. Click Run. A list of all students with a 6th Grade assignment appear. Select the check box in the header row to select all students.
4. Move down to the actions gear to select the option you want to perform. For example, send an email to email all your students.

You can also click Add to group... to create a group of students. Once the group has been created it can be accessed any time by clicking Groups > View all. The group will need to be maintained. You will need to remove students who are no longer attending your church and add those students who are new (but you can do this easily by using the same procedure as listed above).
