Creating a District-Wide Announcement – SchoolStatus Connect

SchoolStatus Connect understands the need for District Leaders to send district-wide announcements. Maybe you want to announce that your district has new devices that are ready to distribute, you may want to welcome and introduce a new leader to your district, or you want to inform the parents that their child’s report card has already been released. Great news! You can now do this on SchoolStatus Connect.

Please follow these instructions on how to create a District-Wide Announcement

(1) Click on the dropdown icon on the top of your banner or cover photo

(2) Choose your District

Note: You’ll know that you are on your District page because the banner changes its color.

(3) Click the Green plus

(4) Click Announcement

(5) Enter the Announcement title and its details

Note: You can schedule sending the Announcement in the future by clicking Send Later.

Note: Add files or photos, or add files from your Google Drive or videos from YouTube. You can change the font size, font type, and font colors, make it bold, underline or italicize, add bullets, etc. by using the text editor.

(6)When you have all the details added, click Send, Send Later, or Preview

(7) Go back to the District Home page where you can see the Announcement that you just sent out.

Note: The same Announcement will be posted on each of the School’s page

... and also on the classes that are connected to the school.

Note: All users (School Leaders, Teachers, and Parents) will be notified about the Announcement via email or SMS (depending on the notification preference they set in their account) and a push notification on their mobile device (if the app is installed).

You're all set! 🙌
