First, head to the messaging screen and select &apos;Chat&apos; from the tabs at the top. Then, click on &apos;Start a new thread&apos; and choose the child you want to discuss, adding a relevant topic name for the thread. This will notify all parents with portal access for that child. Please make sure to utilize the search filter to find specific chats as needed.</description></oembed>
