Good Morning Everyone,
I’ve noticed a few teachers have been using the ‘class announcements’ feature that was recently introduced by the program. Can I ask everyone not to use this feature please, and instead, continue to put out announcements via your ‘Class Story’.
The new message feature is confusing a lot of parents, with the feedback I am receiving from them being that ‘there are just too many places to look for information’ . The other downside of this feature is that if parents reply to a class announcement, they don’t realise that the reply can be seen by the entire class.
Parents are familiar with the Class Story – it’s where they go to get their information, and 99% of our parents are comfortable with using the text message feature to contact you directly if there is something that they need you to know. It will just keep our communication consistent if everyone is using the same process 🙂
As always, if you have any questions, please contact me 🙂
