Have the ability to set an automatic response to messages parents send to the portal.

What specific challenge or problem does this idea solve?

Parents often message the portal rather than sending an email. If we are closed they do not receive the away message that we have on our email.

How should this work?

Either have a way to turn off the ability for parents to send a message through the portal, or have the ability to set an automatic response to messages sent through the portal.

Who will benefit (Admins, Staff, Students)?

Admins & Parents

How will this change impact your daily tasks or overall experience?

It will enable our staff to actually log off and rest during holidays/breaks and will give a more professional experience for parents because they will know that their message has been received.
