Receiving Announcements

Announcements can be sent out by Ambassadors, Class Reps and Community Reps. They are a great way for organisers at your school to communicate about important events or issues. An announcement can also contain an attached file, such as minutes of a meeting or a newsletter. You can't forward or re-post an Announcement to someone else who hasn't received it, but you can download the attachment/s and attach to a new private message.

Announcements are send out by push notification in real time to app users.

Announcements are also sent as an email if they haven't been viewed in the app within the first hour of being sent. This is to prevent duplication, reduce the number of email sent and avoid overloading parents. Emails will not be sent if the same content has already been viewed in the app.

Announcements also appear on your group feed as well as in the Announcements section.

If you want to find a specific announcement you can navigate to the Announcement page which shows a list of all announcements by their title and date of publication. On a mobile you can find Announcements under the 'more' menu.

You can comment on an announcement; these comments can then be seen by the announcement sender, as well as other recipients of the announcement. 

Attachments can be downloaded by clicking to view the Announcement and then clicking on the attachment. For more information on downloading attachments, please click here.
