 The //Send to Parent// check box may be used to send the message to the parents of the children within the selected scope.
-Messages sent to parents are **ALWAYS** prepended with the message scope:
+Unlike the classroom display, messages sent to parents are always prepended with the message scope:
   * Schoolwide Message
   * Class Message
   * <Group Type> <Group Name>
   * Individual Message - when a message is sent to only one person; this is not available from this messaging screen
+Messages to parents also include the name of the person who posted the message based upon the account credentials used to post the message. This is displayed at the end of the message in square brackets.
 Parents to be notified are based upon the students within the scope of the message being sent, so a parent may receive the same message content repeated with different student names, but all within the same message. For example, if two students are in a group receiving a message the parent may receive a message like this:
+<code>
+Tommy Brown: Athletics Soccer Practice will end early at 4:30 PM today [John Smith] Steven Brown: Athletics Soccer Practice will end early at 4:30 PM today [John Smith]
+</code>
+//Some students within the scope may not have any parent accounts associated.// When a message is posted, each student is evaluated for at least one parent account. Any students without a parent account associated will be listed at the top of the page when the message is posted. This information may be copy-and-pasted into another document for reference to ensure that the parents of those students are informed of the message.
