      This is currently only available on our Voyage platform. Only students who have sent you a message will appear in the Conversations box.

       

      If you would like to initiate a conversation, we recommend using email or another messaging service provided by your school.

       

      Another option is to have all of your students send a message, so you can reply back as needed. 

      1. From your Educator Portal, click the Help Students icon.
