How can I insert a student's first name in the body of an email using a replace string?
I want to send an email to the entire classlist, but I want the body of the email to begin with "Dear Student," but with the word "Student" replaced by the first name of each student receiving the message. I tried using "Dear {FirstName}," but the email was received saying just that: Dear FirstName.

Classlist E-mail Function
My question is if there is a way to disable the "Send E-mail" function for Students in the Classlist within Brightspace, just from a few specific courses? Or is the best route to remove the Classlist tab from the Navigation Bar to not have the E-mail option available? Thanks!
