Send school notices and message your teachers and students in the LMS
Reply to teachers, delete a mistaken message for both sides, and send one-way notices to teachers, students or the whole school.
Every screen in the films is the real product, shown on a demo school made for them.
Circulars and staff notices often go out on WhatsApp groups, lost among replies and forwards. In the LMS a notice goes to exactly the group you choose, all students, all teachers or everyone in the school, and nobody can reply to it, so it stays a notice. Everyday conversations with teachers and students sit beside it under Messages.
The film shows how long messages are kept, replies to a teacher, deletes a message sent by mistake, sends a notice to all teachers, and opens it on a teacher's dashboard.

Good to know
Seven days, or fewer
Messages are kept 7 days by default. The school can shorten that, down to one day, but cannot make it longer. Shortening deletes older messages for everyone, which is why it asks first.
A notice cannot be recalled
Once sent, a notice cannot be taken back, so the Review step is the moment to check who it goes to and what it says.
Filmed on a demo school
Every account in the film is a demo account. The reply was deleted on camera, and the notice and messages were reset afterwards.
