School Leaders can now send an Announcement to multiple students from the school directory without the need to make it schoolwide. This can be used for updates applicable only to select students, such as academic camps, after-school programs, assignments, attendance, group photos, behavior supports, or based on student attributes.
Send Announcements to families by student attribute
A Student Attribute is a label on a student’s profile that helps organize groups by demographics, educational needs, or details like bus routes and activities. You can use these attributes in the Directory to filter and message specific families.
This guide shows how to send an Announcement using the attribute “Bus Route 31.”
- From the top menu, select the correct School from the drop-down.
- In the left-hand navigation bar, click Directory.

At the top right of the user list, click Filter.
- Under Student Attributes, select Bus Route 31.

Click Show to view all matching students.

💡 Tip: To send an announcement to everyone with this attribute, choose “Selected X families.”
- Click Actions.
-
From the drop-down, select Announce.

Review your selection and click Announce again.
