Messages home can be received by voice call, email or text message. Each user can define how they want to receive messages by message category. Students can have an unlimited number of parents and guardians so that everyone who needs to know can get their own copy of the message. You can also use Aeries Communication to initiate a direct message with one of your student's teachers.
Aeries Communication is also focused more around instant communication rather than daily aggregate calls. Messages default to being sent immediately, unless scheduled. Please consider this when setting your notification preferences.

When you log into the Aeries Parent Portal, Aeries Communication can be accessed via the Communication link next to home in the menu bar.
