If you do not want to allow Parents in your class/community to communicate with other Parents, you can totally do that with the Parent to Parent Communication setting. You can either choose to Allow Parent to Parent Communication in your class/community or you can choose to Disable it.


What happens when you Disable Parent to Parent Communication setting in your class/ community?

  • Parents cannot post to other parents
  • Parents cannot send a message to other parents in the class
  • Parents can only Post to Teachers/ Admins/ Room Parents roles
  • Parents can only message to Teachers / Admins roles
  • Parents cannot see other parents in the Members tab of the class/community

Please check how you can set this for your class :

Note: Please note that in the case of Schools that are using Bloomz for school-wide communication, Parent to Parent Communication setting at the community will not apply to the class. They operate independently. This means, the community can disable Parent to Parent Communication, but the class in the community can choose to allow.
