Using Genius to Communicate with Teachers

Site coordinators can communicate with all their students' QVS teachers at once or send individual emails to teachers from Genius.  

Follow the steps below to send one email to all your active students' QVS teachers. 

  • Log in at https://qsivirtual.geniussis.com/
  • Click on the Enrollments tab.
  • Click the Basic Search link in the left margin. 
  • Select the appropriate semester or leave the semester blank to email all active students' teachers.   
    • Note: fall and full-year courses are grouped under the Fall semester, spring semester courses are grouped under the Spring semester, and Credit Recovery courses are grouped under the Ongoing semester. 
  • Click the Get Data button.
  • Click the Compose Email link in the left margin
    • Tip: Use the select variables* option to merge your students' names and other information in your email. 
  • Click the checkboxes next to Copy Teacher. If you do not want to copy your students, select the checkbox next to Don't Copy Student.
  • If you are emailing about an internet outage or an event at your school that may impact student performance, please check the Copy Academic Director checkbox to notify QSI Virtual School.
  • Use the Select Variable option to add mail merge fields. 
  • Compose your email. Please make sure you indicate who you are and what school you represent.
  • Click Send.

Site coordinators can also email individual teachers from Genius.  Follow the steps below to send one email to teachers teaching a particular student:

  • Log in at https://qsivirtual.geniussis.com/
  • Click on the Enrollments tab.
  • Click the Basic Search link in the left margin. 
  • Choose your school from the School drop-down menu.
  • Click the Get Data button. 
  • A list of all your students with their teacher's names and email addresses will populate. Click on a teacher's email address to begin a new email. Note that this email will not save in Genius, but you will have a copy of the email in your sent folder. 
  • You can also click Export Results to Excel to download a copy of this table for easy access.

*When composing emails within Genius, site coordinators can use variables to customize and personalize their message. This is particularly useful when sending out bulk or automated emails.
