Create a Notice Board to communicate with a group of students, parents/guardians and staff, such as a sports team, trip, year or class.
You choose who can reply. Use a board for announcements only, or allow selected members to take part in a group conversation.
Who can create a board? Only staff can create Notice Boards. Students and parents/guardians cannot create a board and add you to it.
If you have Limited Access, a staff member with Full Access must approve and publish your board before you can start sending messages.
