Post a notice

A notice is an announcement on your school's notice board. Use it for news that should stay up for a while, like a holiday, a meeting or a change in school timings. You choose who sees it, and you can attach a file.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, open Notices. It is in the Messages group.
2. Click Post notice.
3. In Title, type a short heading. For example: School closed on Friday.
4. In Details, write the full message.
5. Under Audience, choose who should see it: everyone in the school, staff, students or parents.
6. To add a file, such as a circular or a form, click Attach and pick the file.
7. For an important notice, turn on Pin to top. It then stays at the top of the board and shows as Pinned.
8. If you want the notice to appear later, set a date in Publish from.
9. If you want the notice to come down on its own, set a date in Expire on.
10. Check everything, then press the button at the bottom of the form to post it. To stop without posting, click Cancel.
