Message a room or several families at once
Write it once. Every family you tick gets it in its own private conversation, and replies come back to you one by one.

Questions
- If I tick a room, do the families see each other?
- No. Each family gets its own copy in its own conversation and replies privately.
- Is there one button for every family in the center?
- Not yet. Tick each room, or use Everyone here now for the children checked in today.
- Can a teacher do this?
- Yes. Keeping a message from the teachers is for a director.
