Create Canned Emails in Gmail

One thing [of many] I am trying to get better at is to contact parents when student behavior is good. Ideally, I want the ratio to be tilted towards the positive messages home. 

To make it easier on myself, I set up a canned message in Gmail. 

A canned message is a template to use for emails that are similar. 

To set up a canned email message:

1. Open a new message.

2. Click the three dots and select canned messages.

3. In the following menu select New canned response.

4. Enter a new response name.

5. When you are ready to use the response, open a new email, select the three dots, and select the response you want to use.
