Official notices to classes and grades

Official channel vs chat groups

WhatsApp forwards are not audit-friendly. Notices module gives office a canonical publish path - sports day timing change, PTM reschedule, uniform reminder - scoped to affected audiences with timestamp and author.

Audience scoping

Target whole school, single grade, class section, or staff-only. Bus route notices hit transport families without spamming entire parent body. Emergency closure banner pins top of portal until expiry.

• Rich text and attachment PDFs
• Schedule publish datetime
• Optional email/SMS push on publish
• Archive searchable by month

Staff vs parent views

Staff notices carry duty instructions - gate roster, exam invigilation - hidden from parents. Shared notices appear both sides with consistent wording.

Read acknowledgment

Critical policies request parent acknowledgment checkbox for compliance trail. Export who acknowledged laptop policy before device rollout.

Integration with events

Event calendar entries can auto-generate notice draft - office edits before send. Reduces duplicate data entry for annual sports day.

Moderation and roles

Only authorized roles publish; teachers suggest drafts to coordinator queue. Prevent accidental whole-school send from classroom account.

Crisis communication

Pre-written closure templates ready for weather events. SMS burst pairs with portal banner when families may not refresh app immediately.
