CatapultConnect offers many methods to share your message with the right people.
You can reduce your starting contact list by building a filter filter your contacts based on criteria like language, class period, etc.
You can increase your contact list by adding add custom recipients from a spreadsheet.
You can preview recipients for a list of names and communication methods. From the preview you can manually remove contacts one by one.
Build a filter
Your starting contact list depends on your responsibility within the organization (detailed below). Use filters to reduce who you send a message to.

Staff/Teacher
If you sign in as staff/teacher, you can contact all your student’s parents/guardians.
You can narrow your contact list by filtering for school (if you teach a multiple schools), period, language of the recipient, grade, zip code, and bus routes.
Site Communication Team
If you sign in as a member of the site communication team, you can contact the whole school.
You can narrow your contact list within a school using the same filters that staff/teachers have, plus filter by guardian/job title (such as teacher, classified staff, student contact, etc.) or individual teachers.
District Communication Team
If you sign in as a member of the district communication team, you can contact the entire district.
You can narrow your contact list by filtering for school, guardian/job titles, languages, grades, zip codes, and bus routes. Note: since periods often differ from school to school, you are not able to filter by period at the district level. If you need to filter by period within a school, go back to the district dashboard, choose View All Sites, choose a specific school, then choose Send Message.
Saved filters
If you often send to a particular filtered group, choose Save Current Filter (to the right of the “Build Filter” heading). To access a previously saved filter choose Saved Filters.
Instructions
