Announcements

Post notices to the whole school or specific classes, flag urgent messages as Important, and keep a running archive of everything that's been shared.

The announcements list

Go to Announcements in the left sidebar. Announcements are displayed in reverse date order — most recent at the top.

SchoolWise Announcements page showing a list of announcement cards in reverse date order, with one card highlighted with a red left border indicating it is marked as Important, and a New Announcement button in the top right.

Creating an announcement

  • 1 Click New Announcement in the top-right corner. A form opens.
  • 2 Enter a Title for the announcement (e.g., "Holiday Notice").
  • 3 Type the full Message in the text area.
  • 4 Set the Target — choose All School to broadcast to everyone, or pick a specific class from the dropdown to limit the audience.
  • 5 Set the Date for the announcement.
  • 6 If this is an urgent notice, tick the Mark as Important checkbox. Important announcements display with a red left border and a star icon so they stand out in the list and on the Dashboard.
  • 7 Click Save. The announcement appears at the top of the list immediately.

Mark as Important

The Important flag

Ticking Mark as Important does two things:

  • The announcement card gets a red left border and a ⭐ star icon in the Announcements list, making it easy to spot.
  • On the Dashboard's Recent Announcements panel, Important announcements also appear with the same red highlight so school admins notice them immediately when they log in.
Tip: Use the Important flag sparingly — for exam schedules, emergency closures, and fee deadlines. If every announcement is marked Important, the flag loses its meaning.

Deleting an announcement

Each announcement card has a Delete button. Click it to permanently remove the announcement from the list. It will also be removed from the Dashboard's Recent Announcements feed.

Note: There is no edit option once an announcement is posted. To correct a mistake, delete the existing announcement and create a new one with the corrected content.

Announcements on the Dashboard

The Dashboard automatically shows the five most recent announcements in the Recent Announcements panel. You don't need to do anything extra — they appear there as soon as they're posted.

To create a new announcement quickly from anywhere in the app, use the Create Announcement button in the Dashboard's Quick Actions row.
