Teachers always had the option to send an Announcement to the whole class or a Story to a single family. SchoolStatus Connect allows teachers to send Announcements to multiple families from their class directory. This can be used for updates applicable only to select students such as academic camps, after-school programs, assignments, attendance, group photos, and behavior supports.
To send this type of Announcement, please follow the instructions below.

2. Select the community that the given family is a member of.
3. Click Directory.
